Discussion! Tuning bows!

Okay guys, if you tune your bow should you tune it at the dw you plan to use. Or does it matter?

If your shooting bullet holes then really only thing that i notice is drop in arrow,with field points or broadheads,just a matter of sight adjustment,but that my experience only............

same with my experiences tuning several bows

I tune with everything the exact same way I am going to be using the bow. Same weight, DL, let-off, arrows, everything.

Well, lets think about this a sec.. It doesn't change the timing, doesn't change the physical placement of your centershot, or your knock placement. The cables keep your ata the same, so a few cranks of your limb bolts shouldn't matter a whole lot...

but then again, if you drop/raise the dw enough to require a different spine arrow, you may need to make some adjustments to your centershot to compensate...

I think it may be best to set your draw weight first. If it was me, anyways

I tune it to the DW I'm going to shoot it, but in most cases that's only 1/2 a turn from max. I have found that after tuning, a full turn or so either way doesn't make any difference to arrow flight but may have to adjust sight pin a little if I'm shooting with sights.

I agree. That's why my 3D rig is my huntin rig and vice versa.

EH, I would have to agree that is the way I do it. If your going to shoot the bow it is set for your dw, dl, let off and so on. I tune it at my dw.

you can tune a bow, but you can't tuna fish.

(couldn't resist)

so, why would you want to tune it at one weight and then change the weight? just wondering.
