Some will fail because they don’t provide a high level of service and assistance. Pro Shops that go the extra mile have or will develop a loyal customer base who will patronize their store for most items instead of purchasing online.

DUDE! Thank you for this! There are some great shops out there but the amount of DM's I get about tuning issues resulting from Pro Shop ignorance or laziness is incredible

Just had a bow shop tie a dloop on along w some more work I had done there. Come home to find my dloop was off . The guy tied my bottom knot where the top knot should be leaving me extremely nock high out of the bow. The people you trust for knowledge are just as clueless as you are so you might as well learn to do it yourself

Always enjoy the in depth video's man! Wish every town had a Bow Rack!

Love the videos man. Just getting into archery hunting and its videos like this that make it so easy.

Ok since my last question I recentered the rest and put two turns in the left yoke and took two out of the right. Pretty much dead on bullet hoke at twenty yards with both field point and broad head. Sorted. Thank you for all the info...I am only a beginner and it is a great help given the lack of pro shops here in Australia to help me.

Great video- Thanks for clarifying those myths. I was shocked when you pulled out the Vulcan.. I have one as well. I bought it new in 2007, it is still a great shooter. It will be going on my Az Bull elk hunt in September !

Thanks Kellen for everything you put on KZread, this video relates to me as you know! Also huge thanks for tuning my bow so good that it allowed me to split an arrow already!

As usual, very informative.Passing on tips like these is super helpful. Thanks

Thanks dude! Always love the videos, especially this one. After dealing with "lazy" bow shops for years I started doing my own bow work and your videos have truly helped. This is the first year I have ever shot a bullet hole through paper. My old shops said bullet holes were impossible until you have had years of proper form practice. Well it is completely impossible without a properly tuned bow, something a lot of shops won't spend time with you on. Thanks again.

Me too🤣🙉. Its a new world huh. Sights! 🤓👌

One of your best videos dude. Completely solid 👌

When I got my bow the tech had me shooting it then making adjustments he’d shoot it then I’d shoot again. I walked out feeling really good about the set up, it feels really solid to me

The first thing you said about the tophats is exactly what I went through with my triax. Literally the reason I sold it, because without a press, it can only be in tune so much and its like only putting a bandaid on the problem.

When I first started shooting bow, My "Pro Shop" set me up with at 28" DL. The kid that was supposed to be some kind of Hoyt tech. (and rather smug) insisted that was my draw length... I knew and could feel something wasn't right so I started watching videos and learning on my own. Come to find out my DL was 30.5", and my bow accommodated that just fine, but this person either didn't know, or was just unwilling to help out.. Thanks for making all these super helpful videos, it's a blessing to have some one that knows and is willing to share.

Thanks for the information about cam lean. The rest of it I've figured out over the years in spite of pro shops.

Great insight! Man, I have recently been working on my old Z7 and followed the yoke tuning method where they say your string should be perfectly aligned with your idler wheel at full draw. I found that after doing this and set my center shot I was getting a 1" left tear through paper. I put a turn in the right and took at turn out of the right and got a perfect bullet hole without touching my rest! You the man! Have you ever done any single cam tuning videos? There isn't much out there for solid info on this. P.S. I'm having fun at home!!

Thanks for the honesty!

Man you’re a GOD sent 👍🏽!!!! Thank You 🙏 for the valuable information

I needed this video big time right now

Inside Out - that is Downtown info to share. Your the Man! Keep'em flying.

Another huge thing people don’t know about paper tuning. I used to compete indoor 300’s. I could paper tune with one release, grab another back tension of a different brand, but same design, and it would tear. I go back to the original release and bullet hole again. So every time you change release brands, you need to paper tune again. They do not all release that string the same.

Your vids are money bro! I love my bow shop but I was shooting after a “tune” and this video is giving me dejavu. Expensive tune for zero change in results. I’m working on learning how to do it myself but for now I like to let the pros do it so I don’t Jack it up. But I always appreciate your insight.

Drove 4 hrs to get an alphamax way back. Shop was suppose to set the DL and time the cams before I got there. Once I got there and asked about it they said yeah it's good to go. Got home and noticed they had the bottom module set at a different DL then the top. I do all my bow work now and don't even bother wasting time at shops anymore.

I bought a vxr last April and have taken it to three different bow techs. You would be surprised on how little these guys know. Now that I'm a bit more educated on tuning bows I have realized the importance of learning how to work on your own bow. Invest in a press and tools. Thanks for the video. Definitely learned a bit more

Nice! Going to be a killer set up.

Good factual video. When I tune a bow for someone I tell them to check it to make sure it's tuned for their style of shooting. Just because it's tuned for me doesn't mean it's tuned for them.

Thanks so much for this video. Im a first time owner of a relatively cheap Kinetic Mirage compound bow. I had a cam lean for ages (bottom cam, lean right) but it shot true and I could nick tiny points on my targets no problem really. Then one day (yesterday) I decided to fix the cam lean so I watched another random video of how to fix cam leaning right. Did that succesfully, but! no other video mentioned the fact that if I only add twist to the one side to fix the cam lean, it will throw off my timing! And it did! Now my top stringstop had almost 1cm of gap (didnt touch the cable while the bottom did). So here I was again trying to watch videoes on how to fix cam timing now. Then I found your video and you explained it SO well!! Even the tiny little detail of taking out a twist in the opposite cable when adding twist in the first cable when fixing cam lean (Noone else bothers to tell this, wtf kinda important now I know that I understand what will happen lol!). So by simply retracing my steps/twists, I evened out the "twistings" by resetting the twists I put in the first cable and then do it the way you explained, add one, take out one. And now the cam is completely straight, both stringstop is touching the cable at same time, and my shots is on point again :D Im SO happy and grateful for you fixing my bow and also teaching me those basics. Thanks again for what you do man. Deeply appreciated.

It’s funny u mentioned the cam lean issue. I recently had to shim my top cam on a pse evo33. I went wayyy too far because I had a pretty bad tear. I stuck it in the drawboard(thank god) and it locked up like a virgins chastity belt. Let’s just say I won’t make that mistake again. Small adjustments make big changes on paper

As always.....ON POINT!

Happen to me , that's why I bought my own bow press easy green

Great vid . I like the NO BS !

I just had the issue debating whether or not to allow cam lean to keep the bullet hole. Thanks for the info

My Invicta likes the top a touch fast, worked on it for a month and a fast top was the only thing that fixed it. Shoots amazing now

Great Job...good stuff

Thank you. Good video as always.

Most, shops, just call themselves a pro shop.. Back in the day, we had to go to the company, to get training, before we could sale their bows..

Thanks for more good information!

Ok good video, I've heard some of the same things and your right, not true. I'm wondering about a different cam system, it's the Evolve cam by PSE, I have a 2019 PSE Stealth Carbon Air. On a system like this is some cam lean acceptable? It doesn't look that bad but I just got it and I am still waiting to set it up. Hopefully I won't have to wait that long until my pro shop opens back up. Thanks, Danny

Nice Video! Would love to see the perfect set up on a Mathews. Center shot, nick heights, etc.

Awesome info! thanks man.

Team Hoyt @vintage!! My backup is a turbohawk and it still shoots very well.

This is the reason I stick with my preferred pro shop. I take bow in for a paper tune I shoot the bow through paper and they make adjustable until it bullet holes with me shooting

Solid. Thank you! 👌

Folks, this IS ACCURATE AND TRUTHFUL information. And in my experience of 25+ years of compound bow shooting I've honestly had very little issues getting a bow to make bullet holes in paper. I've had Mathews, Bowtech, Elite and PSE. The easiest by far to tune to me has been the PSE. I can not remember ever moving shims on any PSE. BOWS with the yoke system have been the easiest to tune. And sometimes there was a very little lean in the cams. Honestly. I don't understand why so many have trouble getting a bullet hole set up easily. Of coarse the bullet hole thing is just THE STARTING POINT only to get great arrow flight and grouping down range. Best thing I ever did was buy a Last Chance bow vice. People, do whatever you can to get a good bow vice.

There's few things worse than a lazy archery shop! They really hurt new shooters that are trusting them to steer them in the right direction.

Awesome t shirt, what brand is it? I ‘m from Montreal Canada and can’t find a shop to tune my bow. Getting my self set up to do it myself. Thanks for the great tips and info. You would not believe the struggles I’ve gone threw. We are talking about some pretty big mistakes. Bolts combing loose after 1hr of shooting.

Thanks for the details, solid information, now where can I get one of those Tee shirts?

I shot bowtech , and bow tuning is really easy for me any time !

great advice - thanks

Number 2 is spot on.

Great video mate thanks for the info great to know 👍🏹🏹

What does it help with when I tune a bow?should I get my bow tuned I don’t know if my bow has bin tuned. Can a bow get tuned more than once? I only shoot target with my bow. Should I take it to a archery shop to get my bow tuned

Great video thank you !

Thank you.

thanks for the video, incredibly well explained. But is a 1 cam better than 2 cams, and to adjust? I live in Belgium and we do not have the option to shoot anywhere in a field or meadow. Also that ATA in the States, that is something that we do not know or have. We go to a store and buy a bow. Everything else is up to us., Adjustment, pounds, draw length. So everything. A pro shop is not here either. So we have to buy everything and hope that we can shoot well with it. We have to order a bowpress like that of last chance archery in America. And that is expensive, very expensive with the transport to Belgium.

I would greatly appreciate your thoughts and input. Im going crazy. I have a Halon pro comp and found that the new string is extending to the point of impacting the cable guide. Small pieces of the kisser was being left behind on the guide so I removed the kisser incase the weight of it is a factor cause I have no idea. Never had this issue with a bow and worried the string will be compromised, this is my only outlet to decompress from life. Please help when and if u can. Love ur vids and much respect.

I wish I lived close to your shop I always am tuning my shooting but don’t have a bow press to try things out ,I don’t have a good shop within a hour drive

Right, I've heard people say the same thing!

Thanks ,stay safe

Like any retailer, there are some archery shops and bow techs who are either too busy or don’t care about solving a customer’s unique bow problem(s). As a consumer, you have to take responsibility to know enough about your equipment to operate it effectively.

Awesome video! I'm having an issue with my right fletching touching my riser when shooting. I'm shooting a Hoyt defiant turbo, with a QAD dropaway and I'm running blazer vanes on FMJ's. Do you have any tips?

@chompo9135

4 жыл бұрын

Is it hitting the riser or the launcher arm on your QAD? If your rest is not timed correctly, you can get contact with the launcher arm. If it’s truly contacting riser, is your center shot adjusted correctly? 13/16” at a baseline. You could also try switching to a lower profile vane if these aren’t your issue

Great discussion....but could you clarify something?....Tiller Tuning effect on cams.......if you put a hoyt's cams both "in time", such that both draw stops hit cables at the same time....If you "tiller tune" after that (let's say there is a nock high/low condition and you don't want to/can't adjust nock pt or rest anymore due to clearance issues), and with slight tiller tune (adjusting limb bolts) you correct the nock travel condition....if you then place the perfectly tuned bow back on draw board, won't the cams be hitting the stops at a different time now? Thanks!

Very useful thanks

thanks bro

Like your video's because of your video's i just ordered me a Prime Black 5 Today. Sorry I couldn't buy it from the Bow Rack but I live 6 hrs away.

I used to think cam lean was the issue with all my shooting and tuning woes. Then I learned how to properly shoot a bow. Cam lean isn't the big deal that I thought it was. How about a video on creep tuning

Great video good info

You talked about cam lean.. is that true for a VXR ?.. my ATA is 28”.. one side is 28 the other is 28-1/8. What’s your thoughts?? I’ve shot around 100 arrows through the bow since I’ve had it. I purchased it brand new.

During quarantine mode. Would be be willing to do a detailed video on how to tune a bow, time your cams, etc. I just bought three bows from a local shop. Three Mathew’s, two of them for kids and one for myself and everything you just described happed to me. I am one that really likes to do my pens stuff because I like to learn and understand it all. There are a lot of videos already on it, but you come off as being very knowledgeable and would love to see how you tune a bow.

What about the Bear Cruzer G2? Can you do a cam tuning/setup for out of the box? I just got this bow and my local shop adjusted the cams and timed them but when I bare shaft paper tune it kicks up and to the right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where is your shop located? Might be worth a trek when upgrading (once we are good to travel again) to a shop that sounds as professional as yours. Nothing but big box stores anywhere close to me that staff far too many uneducated and unmotivated individuals for me to have any faith (based on consistent experiance) in any purchase or setup help. And thanks so much for your videos with absolute top notch tips and pitfall warnings for us early to intermediate archers.

Ran across your vid. Like the things you said. Thats why i dont let no one work on my cars or bow. Its like tou say dont know what they did to it and say its all fix and when you get home and find other issues that they screw up They have the cash in there hand and you cant get it back

So quick question. The shop I purchased my bow from didn't check anything other than squaring the rest and nock point. They didn't even want to shoot it trough paper until I requested and insisted on it. When I shot the paper, it shot a bullet hole with a fletched arrow. Since I know they didn't check timing after swapping the mods out or top hat alignment, should I be worried about my bow poasibly not being perfectly tuned?

You mention how cam lean and cam timing affect paper tuning. Do you have a video where you go in depth in paper tuning?

I agree with everything except the cam timing on Hoyt bows. It isn’t generally done for tears but for forgiveness esp when shooting a hinge to tighten the grouping with varying pressure. You actually want the top cam hitting slightly early and by slightly I mean just enough to see light through the bottom cam. Also sometimes a half twist will only get you close to perfect, in that case gap the bottom stop. The other issue is that tiller tuning or limb bolt tuning on a past parallel bow does little to nothing, timing is the better option. The main effect it will have on paper will be that it will tear cleaner/ more consistent at different back pressure. Similar to torque tuning a rest for left rights for forgiveness. I saw these results not only on the line but also through my hooter shooter inducing different levels of back pressure.

Yeah I got rid of a bow because of my pro shop would say “that’s the way it is for tuning issues “. It leaned over a half inch. I have 8 bows and no problems with them. They would not touch the bear bow. I felt they were to good to deal with a cheaper bow or lazy. I spend a lot of money there too. I need to get a new string for my hoyt trkon and second guessing wether to go with them or find a new shop. Maybe even ship it out. What do you think 🤔?

This is what I am scared of I am a new archer and I feel like my pro shop just takes advantage since I am new but sadly where I live it’s the only shop others are like an hour away

I just had my pse ferrocity re-strung because the old string (about 1.5 years old) messed up. The cable on the top cam had some serving binding up in a ball and eventually jumped off... fast forward to my new string cutting the serving and doing the same thing 2 weeks after being done. Looked to me like too far of a cam lean any thoughts? He couldn't get a right tear out of it either.

I have the exact same bow , what about the bottom cam , is it normal for bottom cam lean on this particular hoyt

Most of this sounds pretty familiar. We have a shop near us that does everything that you just stated.

What about cam lean with a bow that doesn’t have yokes and has 2 control cables?

greate video love the info

Hoyt bows are notorious for low tears, and the only way to fix this is to put the bottom drawstop 1/8" away from the cable when the top is touching, and then pull until the bottom touches the cable. There is no difference between tiller tuning and just moving the nock point up with the drawstops touching at the same time - you're still gonna get a nock high setup. This low tear that Hoyt is notorious for is the reason QAD made the TL1 launcher, so that the vanes aren't hitting the launcher at the shot with both cams timed. This tuning issue with Hoyt occurs in all grades of their bow line, from the least expensive right up to their flagship.

So I’ve heard several different things when setting up a bow do you run the arrow through the center of the holes or top half of the holes? Are some bows one way and some are the other? (Arrow rest holes)

@InsideOutPrecision

2 жыл бұрын

With MOST bows I always run it through the center, but some bows (like recent BowTechs) have very little clearance between the berger hole and the shelf, so you have to run it a little higher. Really doesn't matter much though on most bows though

It seems like the shop I go to is always cutting corners when they can. I wonder sometimes if there is a certain type of customer they like and other types they don’t want to help. For example, if a target guy capable of shooting 300’s walks in they’ll get preferential treatment over a guy who is asking about his “starter” bow.

Elite has built their brand on cam lean and they're one of the best bow manufacturers in the world. So yeah I'd say you're right on about cam lean

For a tail high tear would I be taking a turn out of the top cam to "slow it down" and bring the tail back down a bit? To tiller tune?

@InsideOutPrecision

11 ай бұрын

I wouldn’t mess with the tiller. Either drop your loop or raise the rest

I'm confused. I have a PSE with a hybrid cam system and to my knowledge they can't be timed like the symmetrical bows can be.

This may be more of a question than it is a statement. Arrow spine and varied point weight can cause good or bad paper tuning just as much as a badly tuned bow. Would it be just as appropriate to have an arrow tuned to a perfectly squared, in time, properly set bow and arrow rest? Basically set the bow to the desired draw weight and length, set it up "in spec" with the arrow rest in center shot with the nock point and then find the arrow spine, arrow length, and corresponding point weight to match the bow's settings? Again, just throwing this out there as a question/ possible solution to the same tuning and setup issues. Thanks for the video. Great info. 👍

I'm fairly new to the compound bow thing but since I've bought my bow I can't put it down. I'm getting pretty consistent at my 20 30 yard shots and seem to see some of my arrows stick in the target on a slight angle. Could this be that I need to get the bow tuned or do you think it could be me? I've watched a ton of your videos and you have helped me a ton and I've learned alot from them and others. My guy at the bow shop doesn't seem to be that interested in sitting down with me and helping me dial it in. He said that I have to tune it to myself. Wtf does that mean?

Little late on the reply, but if your using a bag target the arrows could either go in and bounce off the back wall and then sag or you’ve might’ve shot out the actual bag material leading to the arrows sagging. If it’s not your target then you might wanna look into barr shaft tuning

Im on my 3rd bow now and my proshop owner said that he only paper tunes as a last resort. He said that if everything is square and in time , shouldnt need to put through paper. My Elite Kure should arrive any day now ( depending on this virus ), should i insist on paper tune? My bud just ordered a new VXR and it came in last week. Proshop owner told him the same thing when they got it geared up on the weekend. In ideal conditions ( 20 yards in doors ) he has broke 3 arrows in 50 or less shots. 2 broken in half and a robin hood that you would have to see to believe haha. Its shooting very well.
