Default RE: Need help tuning Legacy

Matt,

Hopefully you have a good shop, but I would strongly recommend starting to tune your bow yourself. For one thing, continuing the rifle analogy, they CAN'T set it up exactly right for you because every person puts their own amount of torque on the grip in their own way. Through tuning, you can set up your bow to "cancel out" your particular effects.

Once you get into it, it's a very enjoyable aspect of archery. There are only 2 needs you have to tune to: 1)spine and 2)alignment. Assuming the shop got you in the right ballpark with the arrow, you could use the bare shaft testing I mentioned to adjust your spine. If they don't hit close together, take 2 turns or so off your limb bolts and shoot again. You'll either get better or worse results. If it's better, keep going. If worse, tighten your bolts back in the opposite direction.

No tuning guide rules apply to ALL bow setups. For instance, the published "rules" you see for bare shaft tuning were intended for finger release shooters. But, you should go to Eastons archery website and download the Tuning Guide from the tech section. It will at least give you a feel for what settings you can adjust on your own and what effects they might have.

Good Luck!
