Well the tiller isn’t 3 under. The top is 1/4 inch over the bottom. The nock is a snug fit. I will sand it down to loosen it some and try it out.

Thanks for the idea

Troy,

I tried your suggestions with no luck. Just for giggles I shot 3 under and hmmm bullet holes, well very close to it. Guess I am doing something with my string hand. I am going to video tape my shooting some more and try to see what it is. Thanks for your advice and help…it is appreciated.

Thanks,

Brennan

Troy,

I use 100 grain brass insert with a .243 100 grain bullet behind it. The .243 fits perfectly inside a CX heritage arrow. A type of internal footing I guess. This morninging I played with tip weights to ensure the arrow wasn’t to weak and I moved the nock point to 1 inch high and worked from there. I got the tear to about 3/4 inch and the tear started to go the other way again. That was with the nock at 3/8 above center. I figure I am doing something in my form causing the problem. I will keep trying to figure it out.

Ed,

I am in the process of tuning a new set of arrows. I got the spine right but I can’t get rid of a 1 inch high nock. I am paper tuning and have moved the nock point every which way. However, as I go lower with the nock the arrow starts to kick into the rest and the high nock gets worse. I have also tied on another nock under the arrow and that didn’t do anything either. I figure it is me but just wanted to see if you had any other ideas or if the fletching will take care of it.

Thanks,

Brennan

Congrats on a very nice buck Dave! Wondering what caused the fall?

in reply to: Brace height for Bear KM? #52568

I use the rule that as long as the string doesn’t bind or knot it is not to twisted…my bow is 60 inches long and I use a 56 inch string. It works but I do have to twist it a lot. I am going to get a 55 inch string next time.

Fellows,

I use the lighter safarituff duiker model but they have one with a pouch on it. It is built well and works beautifully. It is very easy to pull arrows out and I can carry any types of tips.

Troy,

Where do you get a tip of that weight?

in reply to: Improving accuracy #43559

So what is the standard for accuracy say at 20 yards? I know we all want our arrows touching but what is the average, typical grouping for average shooters? I know its is a hard one to answer but if you are willing to share it might help others that have no one to shoot with gauge their progress.

for me usually 8 inches but it ranges from 10 inches on bad days and 6 inches on those rare exceptional days.

I hope the test go well and I can pick up a straight jacket for you pretty quickly if needed!:D

My trad archer mentor told me everyone should own one at some time in their life…I am hoping sooner rather then later for me.

in reply to: Meat in the Freezer #12002

I got lucky and made a great friend 10 years ago (he actually got me started in archery) that has been processing deer for a butcher in rifle season for 25 years now. I skin and quarter them and then we put them into a chest refrigerator for a week or so. He then debones and breaks down the deer into any cuts I want. We ended up buying a LEM meat grinder which works really nice so we get some burger as well. I then freeze the meat on cookie sheets to get firm it up and then I vaccum seal it. Keeps very well and eats better then Kobe beef. I used to use a butcher when I was younger but I found the meat suffered for it in most cases.
