It may be possible, however you will not be getting an ideal tune, more a compromise. You will find your sight ring is way out of line with your arrow too, either left or right. This will give a poor walkback result too. Oh the doom and gloom of arrow tuning.tel said:I've had a quick trawl and couldn't find it, but apologies if this has been answered elsewhere.
Is there a simple answer to when a button is too stiff? Or is it never too stiff if it can be wound-in enough to tune the arrow?

Button not understood well enough to give an answer. There are archers (hearsay) who use a very stiff button and a negative centreshot to compensate.Is there a simple answer to when a button is too stiff?
Give us some numbers to play with Tel..can't be that far out?tel said:my reason for asking is that after lengthy discussions on these pages I got a sparkly new set of arrows which appear at first impression to give a 'flimsy' result. Winding the button pressure up to a great extent didn't seem to improve matters much, but then I haven't had chance to 'bare-shaft' yet. I have (today) made adjustments arrow-length wise to allow for the longer point that I didn't anticipate, and maybe the next step is to lighten the points.......but please don't tell me that after probing the board for an eon I've still got the wrong arrows! If so it's a case of make-do - can't change them now.
You must remember the over-worked 'Triple' threads RG?rgsphoto said:Give us some numbers to play with Tel..can't be that far out?
Oh no not the triple thread? :boggled: Can't remeber if we came to any conclusion on that one?tel said:You must remember the over-worked 'Triple' threads RG?
Here we go again....tel said:Depends really on what you were looking for - I had already decided that, in principle, there was nothing wrong with giving triples a try - what I was concerned about was if I was reading the charts correctly, and with Marcus' help (as a purveyor(?) of said arrows) thought I had it sussed - at this moment in time I'm not so sure....
I measure 27.5" base of nock to button at full draw, so I'm thinking that translates to 29.25" Draw length, and with 42lb limbs thats 44.5lbs on the fingers.
Assuming a 30" or even 29" arrow that spine should be spot on?:boggled: It a case of triple hell. Are the conversion charts right? If anything they may be a little weak if they are 30" long..tel said:Aha, there it is...
It would be easy not to bother LMP, especially as the scores haven't been too bad. But the new pointy sticks for outside are just too different to the existing ones to get away with it!Little Miss Purple said:I was going to tune my bow / button last week but I chickened out!! :sigh:
Until you do a bare shaft test you won't know if you have tuneable arrows. Sows ear into silk purse with spring pressure alone not possible.Winding the button pressure up to a great extent didn't seem to improve matters much, but then I haven't had chance to 'bare-shaft' yet.
