Could not agree with you more, I have been shooting, and I am going to swear here (freestyle unlimited) up to this year, putting up with the yips and every thing else that goes with it. Bought an Aus bow 40# long bow and never expected the amount of fun I am having, shooting like crap; but who cares...

Re: Nocking Point

Thanks for the comments, I have checked the bow 1/8" positive tiller, the brace was down a bit so I have twisted the string to get that back right. I will work on the nock height tomorrow.

Re: Nocking Point

Thanks Jeff, you have lead me into another question. What do you mean by Positive Tillered. I am shooting an Aus Bow, haven't checked the tillering. I am shooting one finger above and two below the arrow. The nocking point is slightly above the shelf. Have noticed some of my arrows come out bum down.

Nocking Point

Just a question on nocking point position on Long bow. Where do most of you blokes have your point? Or do you alter it to get the best group or arrow flight?

Thanks Ross.

Re: Test driving the new digital rig

G'day Tuffcity, photos look great, my wife and I have just returned from Canada. Had a 23 day holiday, spent 2 days on Vancouver Island, beautiful place, and a 7 day cruise to Alaska.
