Arrowman, very informative response, but the above is something I've always wondered about.

How does one accomplish this if they are shooting into anything other than a new(er) rigid perfectly square to level target? Does this assume that the person is launching the arrow parallel to the ground, and aiming at the above target placed high enough to intercept the arrow at it's launch level? I shoot into an old bag target. Even when it was new, it never held an arrow in the exact position it entered in. I'd be in tuning hell if I tried to follow your good advice, but soley due to the fault of my crappy target. Hopefully

If someone does what your recommending at a target placed on the ground for instance, and tunes for a level to the ground arrow, couldn't this actually show a nock low condition? Don't know, just rambling.


On the "level with the arrow's launch target height", it would seem this would be ideal, otherwise we are possibly dropping our bow arm a bit to aim at a target lower than level. I wonder how much improvement there would be if we instead aimed/tuned level, then to shoot lower targets, bend slightly at the waist, like we should be. Perhaps we would pick up some consistency?

Oh, and what are your thoughts/experiences on the '04 brown/black biscuits?
