RE: The tuning trilogy!
Len, good to see your posts. I would like to know what your acceptable standards for a good tuned shooter/bow /arrow combination for hunting would be. I know your personal standards for yourself would probably be higher due to experience but I mean the average Joe Blow. Myself for example last year I worked to get my fieldtips, bare shaft , and at least 2 or 3 different brand fixed blade broadheads to shoot into the same group at a minimum of 30 yards. I acomplished this goal even though I am not the best shot in the world partly due to some physical limitations and my groups with this randomly shot combination of arrows was about 3 1/2 inches at 30 yards. This year I plan to have these same results out to 40 yards. I have not started with broadheads yet, but yesterday I was shooting at a spot on my target butt at 40 yards and had shot 3 field tips at that distance and decided to shoot the bare shaft into the group to confirm tune. I then shot 2 more fieldtips into the group, and when I went down to pull them they were in a group about 3 1/2" on and around the spot I was shooting at with the bareshaft straight in the center of the group. Im I on the right track?
