Tips on tuning your bow?

I am fairly new to bowhunting. I’ve only done it for a couple of years, just now starting to take it very seriously. My bow is almost two years old now and it hasnt had anything done to it besides shot and sited in since i bought it. Same for the arrows. I was wondering what to do about tuning it. Do I need to take it to a pro shop or is it stuff I can do myself? I know some of the veins on my arrows are a little banged up from shooting arrows right on top of one another, so i assume i need to replace those? I wonder about the set-up on my bow such as the knock height and the overall setup because I bought it from Scheels Sporting Goods, and it was a young guy that set it up, and he didnt really look like he knew what he was doing. So any information would be helpfull. Either stuff I can do myself or else a location in my area I might be able to get some help. I live between waterloo and cedar rapids, Iowa. Thanks for the help.

My advice is bring it to an archery shop. They have all the right tools and can get it right the first time. I always bring mine in and I have been bowhunting for quite a few years. I am just more comfortable with an expert doing it. There’s my $.02 worth. Good hunting!

I just picked up my new bow from cedar fall scheels and they did do a good job of setting it up. If I was you, I’d take it back into them and ask a few ?’s about the bow. It never hurts to ask. Fin and Feather in CR does good work to if your wanting a 2nd opinion. If want practice go to Iowa bowhunters Association .com and check out there 3D shoots, its worth it.

Taking it to an archery shop can be a wise choice if you haven’t done anything yourself. One of the most important but least practiced thing to do with a bow is to wax the bowstrings. I know guys that NEVER put wax on. It is really important to get them waxed before you put it away after the season. The strings dry out, become frayed and will eventually break. Now a days strings aren’t cheap like just a few years ago.

I have found this tuning guide off of Easton Achery’s website to be very helpful. You can download it. I’ve actually printed the whole manual up and have it out in the garage for working on my bows. Some of it may be a tad bit confusing for the novice though!

Good luck, and keep the arrows flyin straight! Easton Archery -tuning guide
