RE: Lazer or Paper tuning ?

I actually do it different. I eyeball with an arrow on the rest (just as accurate as a laser IMO), I then bare shaft out to 30-40 yards and make adjustments off of that , and then fire thru paper just to make sure, and it generally is bullet holes at that point. I then screw on some broadheads and tweek from there, and then its off just wearin out the string firing hundreds of arrows, so I can buy a new string and do it all over again.

Rob which laser do you have?

RE: Lazer or Paper tuning ?

I wil laser to level and go from their , i'm getting1/2 tearabove on paper . will see how it goes after laser .

RE: Lazer or Paper tuning ?

If the bow doesn't have level nock travel then a level won't be accurate and it the riser isn't cut square to centershot,then the EZE EYE laser won't be accurate.Not saying they aren't usefull tools,they just need knowledgable operators behind them.

Manufactuers are getting better at this but not all risers are square,not even all top of the line bows are.

RE: Lazer or Paper tuning ?

I actually feel this would be a better system(picture below)for the average guy to use and would work betteron a larger variety of bows.BUT,it should be a full length arrow so it could be done at full draw but this is sufficient for an initial setup.

Also,the Spott Hogg laser is a GREAT product when used with the right equipment,that most don't have.AND in the hands of the right person.

My X force was laser tune, but then I shot it through paper and had a high tear?? I have tuned the bow twice now using paper and have bullet holes now. I did change rest however.

Okay, it was lasered for center shot but was it leveled?

I am astounded by your lack of sensitivity, Rob! Daring to say people should work on their skill rather than fiddle around with the bow? OUTRAGEOUS!

But, in the meantime while they are working on perfecting their form, I'd rather see them tune the bow to their form than to be struggling along trying to force themselves to match a shooting machine. Give them the best accuracy and arrow flight possible, given their dismal and imperfect shooting skills.

Good point AP but, the flaws in the form should not be overlooked and perhaps the two can become one. ;)

TFOX, I haven't seen a riser yet that it hasn't been perfect on, which only includes a variety of Bowtechs, A few Hoyts, a Browning, Ross, Parker and a few Mathews. So far, so perfect as far as end results and broadheads.

For those wondering about using the laser and levels, and for more discussion... I posted a how-to a while back

I have seen a couple Hoyts that weren't even close to having the riser and centershot the same.This occurs more on older models and I highly doubt that the cast risers are casted that close.;)

RE: Lazer or Paper tuning ?

OH,I almost forgot.I have a friend that just had his Drenalin tuned on a Hooter Shooter and laser checked with a Spott Hogg by one of the best tuners ,probably in the country and his riser and centershot was not even close.So much so that his site (no 3rd and ahunting bow) had to be shimmed to be square with the arrow.

The tuner is a mutual friend of ours and builds our strings.We get a Hooter Tune when we get strings made by him,that is why the hunting bow was on the machine to begin with,in case you are wondering.

I also had a Hoyt Protec (06 model),that had to be shimmed as well,so it is easier to set 3rd axis off sight bar.If the sight bar has to be shimmed to match the TRUE centershot of the bow,the riser is not square with centershot.
