Default RE: How to set your bow's tiller

Arthur,

I have read this post in it's entirety and have one question. It is very technical but I will try to explain it the best that I can.

When the bow is drawn the d-loop (in my case) is being drawn straight from the fulcrum point of the handle which would make the need for the tiller to be adjusted in the manner that you have described.

However when the bow is shot the nock point is pushing straight on the arrow,which is set to be at thecenter point of the bow.

It seems to me that if you set the tiller in the way that you described that you are setting the tiller for the nock to grip relationship, when actually the important issue is what happens when the nock is pushing straight on the arrow, in the center of the bow.

I wouldn't think that the bow would shoot exactly like it is drawn because if the bow is shot properly there is very little force put on the grip.

I do not claim to be a specialist in this area, just want to fully understand.
