Default RE: For Roscoe - Tiller

Yeah, well it's not really possible to do that. No two people hold a bow exactly the same way, so tiller would vary from one person's bow to the next. For folks who shoot fingers, there's a significant difference in tiller for someone who shoots 3-under than for someone who shoots split finger.The 3-under shooter will need his tiller closer to even than the split shooterm because he is pulling under the arrow rather than behind it. Same for a release shooter who uses a nockset/cushion button arrangement to hook up under the arrow vs someone who uses a string loop behind the arrow.

What baffles me is why the manufacturersdon't give good info on tiller adjustmentin their tuning instructions. All you get from them is 'just set it even and go on.' After checking my axle to axle, brace,cam timing/synchand setting a temporary nockset,tiller adjustment isthe first thing I get set when I start a major tune-up.
