And what exactly is 'walk back or French' tuning ??
Please provide me with an email addy and I'll gladly send you an article on French tuning.
In short,
I do it a little different than the article I'll send due to the fact that I've found out that my bow sighted in at 50 yds is the same as shooting at 4 yds and 50 yds is a pretty standard pin for most hunters with multiple pins. Sight in your 50 yd pin at about4 yds by adjusting your
sight. You need to make sure you aredead center.
Now, go back to 50 yds and shoot6 shots. If you hit left of the target move your
rest a little to the right. If you hit high of the target move your rest a little down. You shouldn't really have to worry about vertical adjustment but if it is off, adjust. When I say a little I mean 1/32" of an inch max.
Go back to 4 yds and adjust your
sight again for dead center.
Go back to 50 and shoot 6 more arrows. Adjust the
rest accordingly. Repeat as necessary. I've found that usually after the second round I'm on.
There is a great thread at the beginning of the technical forum by TFOX that goes into walk back and other methods of tuning.
