Default RE: bare shaft tuning question

That is great! Congratulations. With results that good, you know for a fact that your arrow spine and bow are well matched, and your centershot setup is pretty darn good.

Unless you have a very easily adjustable, very well calibrated centershot adjustment, I wouldn't touch the rest. One inch at 25 yards is a minute amount. (By the way, I'm assuming you're shooting a rope loop or release.) If you're shooting fingers, a very slight draw weight adjustment might correct for spine.

If you do have the caliper release or loop, the vertical difference (5&quot, could be attributed to nocking point or spine. To make small nocking point adjustments, try turning only one limb bolt. This rotates tiller ever so slightly and moves the rest in relation to the nocking point on the string. Tightening the top bolt has the same effect as loosening the lower bolt, and the "rule of thumb" to remember is tighten in the direction you want the nocking point to move. In other words, to raise the nocking point up, tighten only the upper limb bolt. For instance, on your setup, I'd only tighten the top a 1/16 to 1/8 turn (about the angle between one hour and the next on a clock face). This is an easy way to make VERY FINE adjustments to the nocking point.
