Using this method my cock feather is not at 90 degrees, but slightly downward (making my top hen more 12 oclock).


Shooting off the shelf w a reg 90 degree cock feather you will be hard on the lower hen.





Shelf is leather. Side plate is a "hair" type with sticky on one side. The bow is cut past center but I couldn't say how much. Having read the Easton Tuning Guide, I checked to see if the arrow is lined up a tad left of the string as described. Pretty darn close to what they call for.

I thought about rotating the nock. Good suggestion if I cannot solve the hen feather wear any other way.

The arrows seem to be too weak, although when fletched with helicals fly pretty good. Add 25 gr to the tip seemed to fly better still even though it certainy made the arrow setup weaker. I do like the higher FOC.

I'll redo the paper tuning when I get the chance. It's Monday again. Work calls. frown
