RE: The tuning trilogy!

For hunting situations, I don' t worry as much about the " stiff" side of an arrow. This will show itself in the tuning process and will be eliminated/pushed to the practice mode. With hunting arrows, I want them to be as good as they can get when penetrating. If not, you may get an arrow ' bending' during the penetration process and subsequently loose penetration, or take a different course through, or break within.

If you want to use a ' weak sided' arrow for practice, turning the nock until you get good flight is often the answer. You must also realize that this phenomenom may be the result of a very slight bend in an arrow. Any arc along the arrow' s length will result in a favorable ' bend' during launch. Some find that floating the arrow will show the bend/stiff side of an arrow.

I find that shooting and evaluating the results with various methods gives me the best results/confidence.

Please share your " quick and simple" method.
