Default RE: Help!! Frustrating left nock tear!!!

Certainly every new bow is a potential new tuning adventure. Grip torque is one of those things that can frustrate your efforts to get a good tune. I actually have two bows that will not shoot well through paper, or with bare shaft arrows, unless I grip the bow with some firmness, and curling my fingers around the front of the grip. If I use a loose grip, the bows give me a pretty bad right tear.[:@]

My experiences have been about the same as C903 as far as height and nocking point. As far as the left-right component, what he says about tears is what I have found to be true with a bare shaft arrows, and where they are hitting. When I am getting a left tear while paper tuning (rare for me), I usually have to move my rest to the left to get rid of it, not to the right. Again though, every bow is a law unto itself as far as adjustments are concerned, at least AFAICT. www.bowjackson.com has the Easton tuning guide and other helpful info.

I probably should not be on the technical forum "bantering", but I am just trying to help. [8D]

If you can't get the bow tuned properly, you should probably visit a qualified pro shop and seek their assistance.
