    Very valuable for tuning for fixed blades. Screw on a fixed blade head and shoot it at 30-40 yards and then rotate the nock and I bet you'll see a difference in impact.

    The machine measures static spine. Nock tuning allows you to identify the dynamic spine of the arrow under load. This (theoretically) will generate more consistent flight because that is how the arrow behaves in the air versus rolling on a machine. Thanks for the vid!!

    100% agree. I just started paper bare shaft tuning a new bow and had chronic 3/4 inch right tears. RH shooter and still had 1/4 inch right tears with the rest out of spec to the left and the cable guard rotated full right. It never dawned on me that my one bare shaft that I was using as a reference might have a nock tune problem. I was just clicking it on the same way (shaft sticker up). Multiple tip weights/grip styles etc couldnt improve it from there. After 4 or so hours and coming to the conclusion that I needed to get the cams shimmed, I remembered a Ranch Fairy vid and put the arrow on upside down - instant bullet hole. I then put the rest back to arrow parallel to riser and cable guard rotated back to the middle - another bullet hole. Then started to rotate in smaller increments and found a position where the bow would even tolerate a less strict grip and a bit of sloppy form and still shoot bullet holes. One of those head shaking moments and a real lesson learned. Hadn't ever wanted to get into custom arrow building but now it seems 100% necessary given that my nock tuned bare shaft will in no way represent the rest of my 'bought complete' arrows.

    Great Video! I spent a couple hours on practice range last Friday tuning my nocks before shooting the R-100 on Saturday and Sunday, in Harrisburg, IL. I am not sure if it did any good, but it gave me confidence that my tuned bow was shooting my arrows as best as possible. During practice, on occasion I would catch my arrows waggle left to right in flight and hit the target bag at an angle, keep turning the nock on each arrow to get a true flight and perpendicular angle into the target. It took a couple of hours. I focused on anchoring with the same hand angle, not torqueing the bow grip and consistent face pressure played a big role, before turning the nocks. So I tried to make consistent and comfortable shots that felt good.

    It is a bit tedious but last year when I was "working up a load" for my heavy arrow build, no matter what spine bare shaft I used, some would just not tune. I was pulling my hair out making adjustments to my rest and getting one to fly great, the next? Another tear. Once I started nock tuning I was able to get all of my bare shafts to shoot either a bullet hole or a very small hole. This saved a lot of bow adjustment time and then I made sharpy mark on each shaft and the nock so I would know if the nock rotated or not and then fletched them with zingers so I didn't have to monkey around with trying to align the jig with the nock and to keep them "spined" properly. It is well worth the process folks!!!

    After watching a ton of videos on bare shaft and nock tuning in general, it seems to me it makes sense to just nock tune once the arrows are fletched. Then rotating the nocks until each arrow shoots a good bullet hole multiple times. Now, as you said that is assuming you have good form and a tuned bow. The down side is, when you nock your arrows they might not always be in the same orientation when it comes to tail up down or sideways. But with today's drop away rests that does not seem to be much of an issue - technically anyway. As long as you have the nocks marked so you know which way to attach it to the string you should be good. Just my thought on this. I am getting some new arrows soon and plan to test this out myself. Very informative video still.

    Thanks for sharing this. Great tip and practical advice. I just started building my own arrows and I was concerned about spine indexing and how to do it accurately on a budget. Also wondered if it mattered inside 30 yards for whitetail. After seeing your video I'm thinking this process is more of a good idea to work towards over a necessity. If one of my arrows are off with broadheads then I'll try nock tuning my fletcher arrows. Does this sound like a good idea or am I off base? Thanks again!

    Havinh tested a fair amount of shafts for spine consistency(both across the shaft and the lot of shafts) Ive noticed that arrows that require a lot of fiddling with the nock to get bullet holes out of each shaft do not have good spine consistency. The best, most consistent shafts usually have a large range of nock positions that'll shoot a bullet hole, and in the positions it doesn't the tear is very small. The best shafts I've tested are no longer made, and the worst shafts are very popular.

    Me personally i wait tell the fletchings are on the arrow. Ive noticed that bare shaft tuning helps but once the fletchings are on i always have to adjust the nock again. So for me waiting until there fletched and then paper tuning by rotating the nock works wonders for me. Again i know bare shaft tuning is the thing right now. But i get the same results from doing it with the fletchings on instead of doing it twice.

    Why does it all have to be so frustratingly difficult?. I love hunting with a bow and really enjoy shooting my bow, but HUNTING with it is the “thing”. As if there weren’t already enough difficult things about bow hunting here’s another if you obsess over perfect flight (like most of us do). Most of us don’t have the time or setup for this perfection and most all “bow shops” I’ve ever been just want to sell you a new bow. If you’re not buying a new bow from them that year you’re just pestering them with trying to get help with a perfectly tuned setup and the ones I’ve been to I don’t think obsess over the perfection as much as me and most others on here.

    You can just take 2 feet of tape 2-3" wide, give or take. Shoot 3-6 bare shaft arrow at the center line (10-5 yards ish). Check for the ones that are not perfect arrow flight. Then, start turning knocks on those that fly wonky. This a version of 'French Tuning'. Repeat the process for the next 6 arrows. (1 dozen done)Then, paper tune if you want. It should go a little faster. PS Each archer must do it for his/her arrow/bow. We all are human & not a Hooter Shooters. We each have are minor differences' in the shot'.

    The only hard part about this is that most targets don’t have perfectly uniform density. So when a shaft hits the target, it can kick an arrow one way or the other. That’s why I never go off of the direction the back of the arrow is kicked in the target. However, if the point of impact of the shaft is consistently in one direction, then this method sounds great!

Initially took a dozen Axis 5mm Match arrows, knock tuned when bare, and fletched with a 2-degree left/CCW blazer vane, and my groups tightened up SIGNIFICANTLY. Second dozen were Easton Accucarbon 6.5’s. Similar result, darn near halved the size of my groups (basically went from shooting ‘pie plates’ at 60, to ‘fist sized’ groups. BOG change IMO!). Buying vanes in bulk, buying another two Bitz, and re-fletching EVERYTHING else (after a nock tune, of course).

    I think you are over looking the most important part of the arrow, the nock. You are using an injection molded nock to interface with the inside tolerance of your shaft. Unless you verify that your nock slot is truely perpendicular with the centerline of the shaft you will have a variance in the launch angle from the string deflection. Take a nock from an arrow set up that you are happy with and put it in a troublesome arrow and see if it improves that arrow. Pin nock set ups and arrows with nock collars seem to be more reliable in the long run of the arrow life.

    Here's a question for you - after nock tuning, if fletching with a 3 degree helical, do you align the front (tip side) or the back(nock side) of the indicator vane with your mark?

  • @InsideOutPrecision

    If you drew a line fro the mark to your nock, ideally it would cross the vane in middle

    This seems to make sense, but is the opposite of what I have heard literally everyone say. Since everyone tunes their bow based off of how the arrows fly, it makes sense that you would get the arrows tuned to fly best and most consistent first. They do depend on one another for sure, but seems like it could be a chicken or egg discussion.

    No for compounds you want to use plastic vanes. Some people still 4in. or 5in. feathers on large diameter, heavy arrows for indoor competition because they're only shooting 20yds., but pretty much everyone uses plastic vanes with a compound these days

    My personal experiences with the Bow Rack and the Endicot family has always been nothing short of spectacular. In the third week of August 2019 they took my bow and completely set it up and tuned it for my trip to Colorado. Not only is that the craziest time of year for them, the turn around was 2 days, and in time for the opener and my trip. This year I purchased a new V3, and not from them. Finding certain colors and being left handed was hard this year. I had a chance at one in Washington and called Lisa about what I should do. She said jump on it and they would still set it up for me as if I had purchased it from them. So I did, and the next weekend I had the bow rack install the works and set it up for me. They did this with one days notice and on a Saturday where at 10:00am there is a line out of the door. By 2:00pm I was headed back to the coast with a bow that was tuned to perfection. Again, this is just my personal experience with the Bow Rack and the Endicot family, but I can assure you while spending 4 hours there on that Saturday I saw 100 more customers leaving satisfied and happy with their experience as well.

    One bullet hole means nothing. You’re human and your form isn’t exactly the same every time. Shoot a few more with the nock turned wrong and you’ll get a bullet hole and vice versa. If you’re gonna use an average you need a dozen shots. I’ve nock tuned hundreds of arrows and very few have not shot good holes “on average.” Tune now/one arrow to a bullet hole and then shoot the rest and i bet regardless of nock orientation if your bow is tuned you get good holes with darn near every arrow.

  • @InsideOutPrecision

    Yeah it’s definitely not for newer shooters. But it’s wild to see how a bare shaft reacts off the rest differently just from orienting the spine differently
