Seeing as how you joined, uhh, today, you might want to be a bit respectful as there are many here who have volumes to offer. If you have a question, just ask, many here are more than willing to help the genuine and grateful. The bull in a china shop on day one might not be the best approach.
If you need help with 80% of the things you mentioned above. A great resource is the Eason Tuning Guide. It a PDF and is free for the download. I am no expert, however that guide has helped me tons.
Happy Hunting!
i joined today because i get emails from this site and decided to check it out today. after reading the article that was sent i was disgusted, on how some can put a 6 page article onpro shop bashing.
so let me answer your questions, i am very much aware of easton's tuning guide, and have been for years. thanks for the suggestion. geniune, i am, expressing my deep feelings for what is wrong with a % of the people in our sport. that person was no were near qualified to write that article.
only a small amount of people are capable of tuning there bow correctly.on their own.
someone posted above that seems to support my thoughts.

penny wise dollar foolish
support a local pro shop, they are there to help, go to a local 3d shoot, a local state shoot, talk to the people, ask them for help in finding a pro shop. learn to be a great shot, make great shots on animals, take away the excuses of why you missed, let them show you it is not your equipment, but maybe thats why thereare articles like that one."i missed that big buck, i better practice tuning my bow some more", thats crap learn how to shoot, gizmos are just that.
an experienced shooter can take a compound from 1985, and make cleaner shots than someone with a the latest and greatest junk. and how did he get experienced, probably started at a pro shop.
not trying to be a "bull", but if you let ignorance go to long unchecked it causes problems for everyone. i am grouped into the sameclass as the article writer "bowhunter"
