If you are shooting a parrellel limb bow like todays bow with a release, you want even tiller. If shooting a single cam, you cannot measure tiller other then how many turnes.

I have found that a 1/4 twist here or there can make a bow more quiet. But remember, each time you change that tiller, you changed optimal nock placement, so its not just a simple twist.


On 1 cam bows you can measure tiller by running a string from 1 axle to the other axle then measuring to the string.


I always set my tiller even,never seen a need to change but if adjusting the tiller helps you shoot better,then by all means do it.
