Found this on the net. This is how I do it.

Hang a weighted string from a nail on a target.

Stick a round sticker on the target face so that the string splits the sticker. Use your existing 20-yd pin, step back 20-yards from the target and fire at the sticker.

Don't worry about where the arrow hits.

Walk straight back to 30 yds, and using the same 20-yd pin setting,
fire an arrow at the sticker.

Repeat at 35 yds and at 40 yds, using the 20-yd pin and firing at the sticker.

If your arrows look like this pattern " / " or “\”,
then pick a direction and move your arrow rest 1/16th inch.

If the pattern gets straighter (more vertical), then that is great. Keep adjusting in that direction.

If the pattern gets more crooked, then adjust in the other direction.

Keep firing arrows and keep adjusting the arrow rest position until you get a vertical pattern of arrows.

Eventually, your arrows will hit in the target is a straight up and down line like this " | ".

LOCK down the arrow rest setting. Your centershot is perfect.

Only thing I'd add... :)

But, your vertical pattern of arrows may not be hitting the string. If not, and the arrows are say, six inches to the left of the weighted string, adjust your windage on your sight ring until you can nail the string at all distances.

Lock down the windage and lock down the arrow rest. Windage and center shot are now perfect.

Ok I understand what your getting at here, but what is the purpose of the string? Is it just to be more precise?

Also another dumb question, but what kind of string do you use, wouldnt you cut it if your shooting right?

Sorry for being so ignorant about the subject just trying to picture it?!?

RE: HELP ME WALK BACK TUNE
 

The string is simply used as a reference to compare the pattern you're getting from your arrows... And if you cut your string -- especially with more than one shot ;)-- you don't have anything to worry about. :)

K Thanks Greg

Greg,

I tried searchingfor the post you had previously madeabout this subject but the SEARCH FEATURE DOES NOT WORK HERE ANYMORE!!![:@]I wish they would get this fixed. Anyway, thanks for adding that.;)

RE: HELP ME WALK BACK TUNE
 

I start closer when walk back tuning. First arrow at 10 yards, second at 25. Make adjustments as needed, 10 & 25 again. Then to 20 & 35, make adjustments as needed. Back to 10 and 35. If all is good then I go to 25 and 50.

Yeah, well Greg had a shorter version that I had printed off for reference that came to mind. I also have your thread printed off as well. Both are very helpful. Thanks

No prob, duc... :)

As Todd mentioned, there's tons of great info to pull from around here ...

Was it this one perhaps? http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2230041&mpage=1&key=help%2cunnot iced&#2230603

RE: HELP ME WALK BACK TUNE
 

I never saw that response,but it was some good info.I did see some other issues in that pic though.

RE: HELP ME WALK BACK TUNE
 

OK ONE MORE QUESTION

IF THE LINE GOES LIKE THIS /|=ARROWS GOING TO THE LEFT

I WOULD WANT TO MOVE THE REST TO THE RIGHT ?AND THEN SHOOT AGAIN

RE: HELP ME WALK BACK TUNE
 

Yepper...that was the one.;)

RE: HELP ME WALK BACK TUNE
 

well i tried this walk back tuning deal and it didnt really work i just wasnt consistent enough to tell which way to move..

so i winded up back on the internet researching how to tune or other ways to tune the bow..

i find a topic on archery talk and begin to read ......wow....seems pretty easy...i go outside and give it a try....after about 20 min.. i was flinging arrows with confidence..my form,draw,aim,all seemed to come together for the first time in my bowhunting career..

i want to highly reccoomend anyone that has trouble with "walk back tuning" to look into this////


"MOTIFIED FRENCH TUNING".... the best tuning that i have ever had..i was actually shooting arrows in quarter size holes @ 20 yds!!!!!!!.

my grandpa made me a target hog and dang was i tearing up that one hole shot after shot...

plz look into this it is simple and the results are great!!!!!

RE: HELP ME WALK BACK TUNE
 

Brandon,
After each rest adjustment, you want to re-ZERO your pin, and re-check the centering. It may take 3-4 rest adjustments to get "perfect," but once you've dialed it in, you'll be happy you spent the time doing it. I personally like group and walk-back tuning methods best, but I know there are a lot of guys who'd rather paper-tune, then go to these forms of tuning or others.

RE: HELP ME WALK BACK TUNE
 

FRENCH TUNING DID IT!!!!!;)

RE: HELP ME WALK BACK TUNE
 

Some prefer french tuning,some prefer walk back,they are both very good ways to get centershot but I also like to add some group tuning into the equation.Just make sure that you have everything marked so you can come back to that setting.
