Yeah I think so!! I just picked up a bar clamp I'm gonna tune my new arrows like this. It makes sense definitely for getting them to bend the same direction.That's pretty slick
Please let us know how it goes. I put a pipe clamp kit in my cart and I'm waiting to hear from one of yall on whether this is legit or not. Certainly seems it would save a lot of time if it turned out to be true.I've owned bar clamps for years, I'm going to test some arrows that I already have marked directionally for best flight.
I was wondering the same thing it should be to the riser with cock feather out. Some guys were talking about it in the comments for long bows.Also... he says he's wanting the arrows to flex downward because that's the way a compound naturally pushed arrows. Would it be the same for a traditional riser? Or would we want it to flex away from the riser? Or toward it?
Seems based on this picture that an arrow naturally flexes TOWARD the riser upon release. In my pea brain, it makes sense that we'd want to combat as much of that flex as possible to start the arrow on a straight path sooner. If this is correct, wouldn’t we want the arrow to flex AWAY from the riser at first movement?I was wondering the same thing it should be to the riser with cock feather out.

I will, but due to work I won't get a chance until this weekend.Please let us know how it goes. I put a pipe clamp kit in my cart and I'm waiting to hear from one of yall on whether this is legit or not. Certainly seems it would save a lot of time if it turned out to be true.

I have used this method for my last two sets of arrows. I put field points in both ends, turn it till it flexes downward and mark the top of the shaft with a paint pen. I’m all about this method. However… there are times where I rotate it and it will keep flexing different with each turn of the arrow. I think it may be because there is some slop in the device. The tolerances are not tight and it wobbles on the cranking end. I wonder if one of those ratcheting clamps would be better. Eventually I get it to flex consistently by playing with different length field points and trying with and without inserts. I don’t remember what worked best but there is a golden ticket!

That was SUPER-informative! Thank you!!
