Recurve tuning help - 11/06/23 12:29 AM
I've been trying to break out the recurve after shooting compound for a few years and having some serious issues on my tune. I get a strong nock high reading (Like 5" at 15 yards) arrows also read weak no matter what I do. My question is what form issues are likely causing this? I hunted with a recurve for probably 10 years exclusively and never had a problem but after trying to pick it back up I'm struggling and can't seem to find info on what issues in form cause that much issue. I'm not an expert tuner but have done enough in the past with no problems that I'm led to strongly believe it is a form issue but I've haven't been able to fix it with any of the stuff I've tried. Some stuff besides form I've tried is arrows from .250-.600 spine with 125-500 grains up front, adjusting nock point from 1" low to 1" high, shelf shooting, elevated rest, two nock points, switching from 3 under to 1 over 2 under. I realize some of that stuff is pretty extreme but was trying to eliminate every possibilty I could. Also, I'm having the same issue with three different bows from 40# - 50# and 54"-62" which is what leads me to believe I have a serious issue with form but without knowing exactly what my form issue is to really focus on, everything I've tried has made no improvement.
