I agree, I have a buddy that has all the tools to tune our bows. I go to his house, and we sit and tune both our bows. We go in his back yard, and paper test them. If you ever lose a string, or something happens in the field, knowing how to work on your own equipment is priceless.

Sniper, keeping a log is a good idea. I do it all the time. However I like to start when a bow is brand new taking and recording about every detail I can think of. That way when you replace the rigging you set the bow up to what it was when new, not what it was right before the change.

And yes, I log every change I make with the varying results. This is where owning your own chrono helps. Yeh, there is just nothing like tinkering.

You might also get this DVD:

It hasn't shipped yet, so I don't know if it's any good. However, LeEarl did a downloadable video on tying in a peep that did a good, complete job of explaining one way of doing it.

If you get it, you will have to be careful. Be sure that you understand what he is doing and if it is safe. He may be the best in the world or the worst. We don't know until we see the video and can judge first hand.

Hope this helps,
Allen

Went out at 8:30 am to get started tuning my new bow my groups were awful found out right away i could'nt get my string to my nose then decided well better head to a pro shop and get a module change out that would give me an inch more draw, that worked well then had a problem with the peep (rubber hose) not aligning proper, so i tinkered with slipping it throuhg at a different angle on the string (didn't have a bowpress handy and did not want to go back to a shop) i managed not to cut any strings, got that taken care of, my groups still were off so i went back into the house got the allen wrenches again i think for the umpteenth time and adusted my forward elevation and windage and center shot, went back out to the backyard shot several more times and to my amazement all seemed to pay off my groups were very tight, so tight i busted a couple nocks, i have to say that with all the added hardware i had my shop put on it was still up to me to tune and get it to where the arrows were striking the target correctly and accurately. It's been quite a day.
