PAPER TUNING
To paper tune your bow have on hand one fletched
arrow, a sheet of paper, a picture frame type rack
approximately 24” x 24”, and a target mat. Attach the
paper to the frame and position the frame at about
shoulder height. Place the target mat about 6 feet direct-
ly behind the paper to stop the arrows. Standing 4 to 6
feet from the frame, shoot a fletched arrow through the
center of the paper with the arrow at shoulder height
(parallel to the floor). Observe how the paper is torn.
This tear indicates good arrow flight. The
point and the fletching have entered the
same hole.
This tear indicates a low nocking point.
To correct, raise your nocking point
1/16” at a time and repeat the procedure
until the low vertical tear is eliminated.
This tear indicates a high nocking point,
clearance problem, or a very weak arrow
if you are using a release aid. To correct,
lower the nocking point 1/16” at a time
until the high tear is eliminated. If your nocking point
is below 90 degrees and the high tear is still present,
reset the nocking point 1/8 - 3/16” above 90 degrees
and reduce spring tension in the rest until the tear
improves.
