I recently spent a great deal of time trying to paper tune my bengal. Following the guide that came with the bow I began at about 6 feet. It was nearly impossible to get a bullet hole tear. I spent over an hour trying to tune it with the local dealer. Thinking I must have some major malfunction I took it in to another dealer who told me that single cam bows should be paper tuned from 10 yds, not 6 feet, stating that they take a little longer to correct due to a small amount of nock travel. He told me a lot of the literature on bow tuning is meant for double cam bows.
I initially had high tears (point below fletching) with almost any nock position.
I ended up with a nock point about 3/8 of an inch above center and good tuning from 10-12 yds out. Still can't get a bullet hole at 6 feet to save my life.
Has anyone else heard of this?
Also, I would be curious to hear how high most nocks are set with Bengal users. I am shooting a 65# bow, 29", Beman 340 ICS hunters. Whisker Bisquit rest and string loop.
Appreciate any feedback/commments.
