Books on DIY bow set up

[jrc645]

Looking for recommendations on books for setting up a compound bow. Preferably with good descriptions and pictures. I’ve watched lots of videos, but I just like having a book for reference. Thanks

I came across a book called The Nuts & Bolts of Archery a while back. I haven't read it cover to cover yet, but the sections I have read have been good. Available for download here:

Is it available in a book? All I see is the PDF.

No just the PDF.

Why do you need a book? Archery Talk has hundreds of experts just aching to share all sorts of information! But seriously I really wanted a manual a few years ago when I dove down the rabbit hole and never found one. The Nuts and Bolts is a great reference, the most complete I have found. I'm sure you've watched them, but Dudley's Nock On Youtube videos are also a great reference in terms of demonstrating tuning and setup methods. In the end I made my own digital reference "manual" using screen shots, video clips, and making my own Word and Excel files when I found something good.

Attached are two of the best references I've found for tuning arrow flight.

Technical Bowhunting by Joe Bell is a good reference to have around. Not very expensive and a lot of good stuff in there.

Yeah I’ve seen all Dudleys stuff and it great information. Its just nice to have a quick reference without trying to find where in the video pertains the the specific situation. I may need to make my own reference manual too.

I would say go to Nock On Archery you tube channel or Levi Morgan's Bowlife channel and you should be able to find everything you want, plus watch them do it.
