Walk Back Tuning | Find Your Bow's Perfect Center Shot | Recurve Archery Tuning Series

I will show you how to find the perfect center shot for your exact setup. When tuning a recurve bow, it can be confusing on where to set your center shot. With the walkback tuning method, you take the guesswork out of your center shot.

Walk Back tuning is a very simple method to follow, and usually takes 10-30 minutes. Well worth the time to spend when it comes to tuning as center shot has a direct relationship to your recurve bow's tune.

Jake, I put in a Vic Burger tuning method under my old comment . That allows you to shoot your actual craws which is better than using one crawl because your crawl changes so many minuet actions in the way your arrow leaves the bow tuning all of your crawls will make it much more precise over your entire crawl if you do this it will make your groups tighter over all and staying inline with the center at all crawls very precise. Love your channel been shooting and tuning bows for barebow for 50+ years.

Great explanation, Jake. I‘m looking foward to the plunger button video because there is still confusion about the right tune in my club.

Thanks for the walk back steps. I like shoot close then go to your furthest distance. I’ve always felt I was burning good time by shooting all those arrow in between. Also wanted to answer back on your suggestion on putting the fair weather spacer on my aae. Yes it does fit and fingers are much more comfortable. Some one else suggested adding another layer of leather but 4 layers seemed extreme especially when they start distorting after lots of shooting. But still wanted to thank him for the suggestion too.

I nearly fell out of my bed at 4:04 cause I was startled by what I thought was a huge bug on the right bottom corner of my screen. Appears it was your black ckicken :D

Just had an epiphany! I struggled with my arrows going right (rhd archer) as the distance got closer from 100yds, 80yds, 50yds, 40yds doing a York last year, now I know why! Thank you so much!

Always amazing info, Thank you, Jake.

Jake, for barebow put you dot at the bottom and shoot ten meters and go thru all of your crawls that will let you tune for most consistant center for all crawls . and use vic burger's tuning method for button tension and centershot .

[striple]

Would be nice if you could do it for your barebow set up and shoot it out :) thx

Just subscribed I’m a newbie can use all the help I can get thanks in advance

Hi Jake, I've found that I could manage to get the dynamic centre shot just by shooting at 2 distances 90m and 30m. if my groups is centred at 90m and then is to the left or right at 30m, just adjusting plunger the centre shot to bring the 30m group to the centre seems to be a quick way to do this. I've double check with a real walk back and this seems to be a quick way to quickly get dynamic centre shot without having to do a full walk back

[yannikessarios]

This would tricky with a barebow. You would have to use the same crawl for your walk back tuning, but then when crawling down the string everything would change. One way that may work would be to use the crawl for that distance as you walk back so you factor in the change in tune. Your arrows would not drop as the distance increases, but would hit increasingly to the left or right if the centreshot is wrong. This just a thought, I have never tried it
