ORIGINAL: String Burn
Ok I'm tuning a brand new '07 Allegiance. I have a trophytaker prong horn rest. I set the rest to be sure that I have clearance and then used a bow square to find my knocking point. Then shot through paper @ about 6ft and was tearing low. So through trail and error found that I had to adjust the rest down in order to shoot bullet hole. So after I got the bow shooting good holes i put the bow square on it to see just how low it was. It's like 3/4 of an inch low.I haven't had a chance to shoot it at any distance, but I surly don't like the set up even though it is shooting good holes. Some one that I trust fairly well said that on the newer bows paper tuning is not working. So how should I tune this thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way I am shooting gold tip xt 5575 28.5" long with 2" blazers 80grn tips.
I find 30-40 yards bareshaft tuning to be more sensitive. I have paper tuned many times and don't exactly have a bullet hole, but close enough to where I have trouble diffientiating holes when I make changes. But bareshafting out to 30-40 yards, is very sensitive. And everytime I bareshaft it and shoot with my fletched arrows, I go back in and shoot it thru paper, and see perfect bullet holes.
Also, I have been adding black tape the back of the arrow to count for fletching wieght.
Also, in your setup, I would have moved the nocking point and not so much the rest. You want to make sure your not gettin clearance.
