    Question New Archer's Tuning Guide

    There seems to be quite a few people who are "new" to archery. Would it be of any advantage to those people to have a "Tuning Guide" posted here??

    What are we talking here, bow tuning or arrow tuning?

    Just some fairly basic things to do to set up and/or fine tune a new bow - or a bow that is new to an archer, whether the archer is new or not.

    There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of guys that can do some of the more simpler things to their equipment. Or am I not really of this world?

    I find the Easton Arrow and Tuning Maintenance Guide helped me and was a good refresher.Tuning guide would be beneficial.

    I am having trouble tuning my bow right now since it was in storage for 5 years, or maybe its just my old eyes. Whatever you could provide would be welcome.

    If your bow was stored for a long period of time and now you are having trouble tuning it up - I'd look hard at the wheel/cam/limb alignment. Might be just a little bit twisted or warped.





    I'm putting together a "Basic Bow Tuning Guide" and I thought that I'd test the waters for interest. It's just a few things that I've done, read, and learned over the years.

    It'll be finished in a day or two and I'll post it up for jabs, jeers, and comments.

    Well, the thing turned out to be more than 10 pages long, also has a bunch of pics in it.

    Way too long to post.

    So if anyone wants it just give me an email and I'll send it to you for the usual charge.
