Default RE: BowPlane

I actually feel a hunting rig needs to be tuned better than a target rig. It is much harder to shoot fixed blade heads accurately than it is to shoot target arrows.

I was under the impression most of the top archers really don't spend that much time tuning a bow. You just don't need a perfectly tuned bow to shoot good target arrows well. It has much more to do with the archer than the equipment.

The only tuning tool I use is a bow square. Everything else gets eyeballed and then I tune it while shooting it.

Cool toy if you could afford it I guess, or if you were setting up several bows a day or something. Not something I would ever need though. And you will still need to have the archer shoot the bow because no two archers shoot the same and the bow needs to be tuned to THEM. That is the whole purpose of tuning a bow.

I just think people obsess way to much about tuning and not enough about shooting well. If they spent half the time shooting arrows that they did messing with adjustments they might shoot better. I have met too many people that have every gadget available and spend tons of time wrenching on their bows yet never spend any time blind bale shooting or doing other exercises to improve their form or shot sequence. And most have poor form and target panic. No amount of tuning will fix that, sorry.

I know when you read some of my posts I seem anti tuning, but I'm not really. It's just like I said above, some worry too much about it. I used to be that way as well.

5 years ago I would have had this thing, but now I just don't see a need for it.
