Trad Tip

[Kgentry]

I’m still very new to stickbows but I seen a tip and I think it could be very helpful. A lot of you guys probably already know this but hopefully there’s someone that will Benefit from it. Take an arrow and place the nock end against the back of the grip and lay you arrow across the string. (Like you would with a bow square) and mark the arrow with a sharpie. Now you have a way to check your brace height while in the mountains or even a way to reset your brace height if something happened to your string and you needed to restring your bow in the field. Good luck to everyone this season and be safe!

Clever. I just ordered a new bowstring because one of them separated. That will save some time tuning. Thanks!

I cut my own arrow wraps from small rolls of oracal 651 vinyl and make them long enough so the end of the wrap is my braceheight mark. That way I don’t worry about the sharpie wearing off.

Why don’t you just snap it on your string and make your mark at the edge of your shelf? I’ve heard several guys mention your method but I think there’s an easier way

Been cresting my arrows to my brace height lately. Good tip

 

[Where's Bruce?]

Gotta try this. Thanks.

It's also not a bad idea to mark your tiller. If I'm having unexplained misses I always check my brace height, tiller, and nocking point along with any screws (e.g., limb bolts, quiver bolts, etc.). There have been a number of frustrating times where I thought I was doing something wrong, but they were equipment issues instead.
