Anyone else have a lengthy and tedious process for tuning arrows?
Thought I'd share mine.
Starting with a tuned bow(in spec Ata, draw length and cam timing).
I take all my arrows and nock tune bare shafts through paper at 5 yards and about 2 feet(this might require a little rest adjustment). Arrows that pass are either perfect bullet holes or very very close. Arrows that don't pass get separated and shot through a different bow.
Then I fletch all of the passing arrows with the cock vane on top lining up with my nock index point. Then I shoot all of those arrows through paper at 5 yards. Not all those arrows will receive passing grades again, I would presume the addition of fletching changes the dynamic spine enough where I need to nock tune those few arrows again. Sometimes if I'm feeling ambitious, I will remove fletching and re-fletch according to the new nock index point that was adjusted for fletching weight.
Then I group tune with fields points to find arrows that fly with each other. Again, separating arrows that do not group with my "grade A" batch. Then I take my best flying arrows, screw broadheads on (ramcats), and shoot again to see if I have any broadheads that are flying funny.
Im probably doing it the long way... Any ideas on shortcuts or better ways to go about it?
Any ideas or methods that you use that I could either replace or incorporate?
