Title: Trying Fixed Crawl for the First Time.
Post by: Valkyrie on September 24, 2018, 04:18:09 PM
I really like it so far. Groups instantly went down to Skoal can size at 20 yards. No fliers and seems a little easier mentally than my hybrid gap method i was using that was very frustrating.

One issue is my arrow apppear to porpoise a tad. Not sure what the fix to it is.  I am thinking they may be bouncing off the riser some?  I do have a mock tied under the arrow also.

I'm gonna wait until the wife gets home and film a slow motion video to see exactly what's going on.

Any ideas?

You might try an elevated rest, about an inch up from the shelf.
That will get you closer to pulling evenly on both limbs and make it easier to tune your setup.

My nocking point for three under is 5/8th high ,many guys are at 3/4 high.

Plus what graps said.

Moving the nick point down a bit squared it up. Arrows look to be flying good.

I'll tweak it some more over this coming weak. The crawl seems a little odd but I like the results.

There is a lot of downward force exerted on the arrow when using a fixed crawl. An elevated rest like a simple bear weather rest can alleviate this as it has a little give to it. On a bow I recently setup to shoot off the shelf with a fixed crawl I simply removed the Velcro rug, and placed some double sided spongy tape on the shelf and then reapplied the Velcro. This resulted in perfectly flying bare shafts that group with my fletched shafts.
