Default RE: Paper tuning???'s . . . all over again. . .

Like already stated I would try gripping the bow in different ways before changing your rest position. Try holdingmore offset to side of the grip. Then try with the middle of your palm where it connects to your wrist direct with the center of the grip and see if there are any changes in the tear. If not then stick to the grip that is comfortable. If your torquing the bow you can pretty much tell by letting off at full draw to where the bow creeps down into the valley and then pull back to your anchor again. Notice the string to riser alignment. If it moves to one side and stays theres probably some hand torque. If it moves left to right and settles then your probably ok. If none of this works try moving your rest position. The rule of thumb is to move your rest the opposite way of the tear but ive actually found it to be the opposite in just as many cases. Sometimes moving your rest in the same direction as the tear works. Also a lot of good shooters have a very slight left tear and its considered acceptable. If no grip changes the tear. Most people also forgot that if your not shooting a centerline cam bow the string and arrow should actually be aligned slightly to the left of the centerline of the grip if your a right hand shooter. Just remember this when checking your center shot. If nothing works and youve done changed your rest position and youve still got the same tear then youve got nothing to lose so go ahead and experiment with extreme rest locations just so you can get an idea of what is really happening. Good luck and if the tear changes let us know and tell us what it is and what you changed.
