Torque tuning.. does it matter?

[Samdemarais]

Anyone of there torque tune their bows following Gillinghams process? Does it make a noticeable difference?

I don't know if I follow Gillingham process, don't know what that is. But yes I torque tune. My process is to try to tune the sight to the position that my rest is in, if needed I'll start to move the rest, generally I have the rest exactly where I want it set tight on the riser, so I'd rather leave it be.

Ok. Gillingham suggests moving the rest because it has a bigger impact on the torque. I will just have to mess around with it.

I don't doubt that it does, I just like the position of my rest when I can have it up against the riser, gives it support incase of anything stupid I might do like falling on it or that nature. I can generally get my bow torque tuned with the rest where I want it, granted it's not perfect but very little side to side impact at 30 yards.

Put your rest at true center shot, yoke tune for bullet hole and practice a torque free grip.

Yes, it absolutely works and has since we started doing it in the 70's. You will want to torque tune before you set your 3rd axis as well.

Yep I torque tune with rest and or sight bar on a dove tail. I set my final peep size after torque tuning.
