Sometimes, a little means alot
 
I was shooting my recurve this afternoon. I noticed a wobble and my arrows were hitting a little high. I really bared down on my release and follow through but it didn't get any better. I was just about to have one of my melt downs where I shoot 50 or 60 arrows in a constant down hill side , where I end up so tired I can't draw my bow and pretty much ready to put a gun in my mouth. It doesn't take long with the heavy draw weights Chunky makes me use. I got a grip on myself and pulled out a knife and stripped 3 brand new feathers off one of the shafts. It flew nock high 4 times in a role. I slid my nock down about 1/32 and they looked alot better just a little weak. I twisted up my brace height 1/8 and SHAZAM it flew perfect. switching back to arrows with feathers I was very happy to be slapping arrows together again. I only changed, what I changed a tiny bit but it improved my flight considerably :D

Someone told me the other day that you don't even have to tune a stickbow...I just :).

BTW, Your old SA-III seems very happy to be shooting CX-250's again. ;)

I really miss that bow. Thru the years I shoot 2016, 2018, 2117, carbon wood 300, carbonwood 400, CX 150 and 250 shafts all with good results. it just didn't seem to matter much.

Glad it all worked out for you. I am learning a lot about tuning since I started shooting traditional
