About this book
You've got the bow, you've got the arrows, but the groups are still scattered. You've tried moving your rest, changing your release, and even buying different arrows, but nothing seems to work. The problem isn't your skill—it's that you're missing a systematic method. Archery & Bow Tuning provides that method, built around the most comprehensive arrow spine selection tables you'll find in any single volume. This book is not a beginner's overview; it's a bench-side reference for the archer who is ready to stop fumbling and start shooting with precision.
Inside, you'll find a step-by-step tuning sequence that starts with a bare-shaft test and walks you through every adjustment—nocking point height, rest position, cam timing, and more—with exact measurements and tolerances. The spine tables cover compound, recurve, and longbow setups, with data for a wide range of draw lengths and weights, so you can dial in the perfect arrow for your bow. Each chapter is organized for quick lookup, with numbered procedures, settings-by-material tables, and troubleshooting guides that get you back on target fast.
Whether you're a target shooter, hunter, or 3D enthusiast, this book will become the most-used tool in your gear bag. You'll learn to interpret what your arrow is telling you, make confident adjustments, and finally achieve the kind of consistency that makes archery fun again. No more guessing, no more wasted arrows—just a clear path to better groups.

★★★★★I've been shooting for about five years and thought I had a decent handle on tuning, but this book showed me I was doing a lot of things by guesswork. The spine tables are helpful, but I wish the book had more on recurve-specific tuning—it felt compound-heavy in places. Still, the troubleshooting chapter saved me a few trips to the shop, so it's worth the money.
Carol Young
★★★★★This is exactly what I needed. I was stuck with arrows that wouldn't group, and after following the bare-shaft tuning procedure in Chapter 5, I finally got my rest and nocking point dialed in. The spine tables are the most complete I've seen in one place. I keep it in my range bag and flip to the quick reference constantly. Highly recommend for anyone who's serious about tuning.

★★★★★The book has a lot of good info, but I found the layout a bit dense. Some of the tables are hard to read on the range, especially in bright sunlight. I would have liked more diagrams and maybe a spiral binding. That said, the cam timing chapter is solid, and the troubleshooting table is genuinely useful. It's a good reference, but not perfect.

★★★★★As someone who just got into archery and was overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice online, this book was a lifesaver. The step-by-step tuning sequence is so clear, and the spine tables took all the guesswork out of buying my second set of arrows. I went from shooting 6-inch groups to 2-inch groups in a weekend. This is the book I wish I had from day one—worth every penny.
