Looking for fast arrow set up advice

Screwed into what? If you added a whole bunch of weight into the front you might have created a spine weakness issue for yourself. Same if you didn't cut any length off them. And that's exacerbated if your bow is drawing heavy too.

Let me rephrase that, I started with a box of 6 RIP TKO arrows that already had vanes, cut the vanes off, cleaned it the shafts up, put on some arrow wraps, and then glued the AAE Max Stealth vanes on. I used the inserts that came with the arrows. The arrows have been cut to size. I can get a length if you’d like.

I have seen several ARC's draw heavy, like 5#.

I'm guessing yours is.

Or chrono is off a little. 70# at 29.5 mods and 476 gr should be sub 290's, not by much, but probably around 285. 4 extra pounds get you to 293.

For what I have seen.

That’s really interesting. Where things sit, do you have a recommendation on where to start on my tuning process? Ex 1. Check paper tune, 2. Go shoot some bare shafts, 3 adjust rest, etc… seems like there are 1000 ways to do this after some reading online.

Bare shaft tuning requires a consistent shooter, you can try that, but might pull your hair out.


Broadhead tuning is what you need, you can bareshaft tune, then check your broadheads and shouldn't need to adjust, or just shoot a couple broadheads, followed by a few field points, then adjust to bring things together. Ultimately for a hunting bow, that's the goal, just different ways to get there.

Broadhead tuning will burn up targets, and can be detrimental to arrows if you aren't shooting multiple spots, which then requires a big target, thats why a lot of guys will bareshaft instead of spending much time with broadheads. They will basically give you the same results.


I don't put much into paper tuning, it's a starting point for broadheads, still doesn't get you there. It picks up on big arrow flight issues, but can miss the minor.


Confirm your timing is correct, if you are even slightly out of time, the nock travel isn't level and broadheads pick up on it.
Then, if you know your broadheads are hitting low, bump your rest just slightly up, like less than 1/16".
