Can anyone tell me what to use for stu miller's calculator for HH bows?  are they 1/8th from center? or 3/16ths?

[droz il]

Thanks for the videos Nate. Very helpful.

Nate,
thanks for posting the links.
Real good videos!

[Ben Maher]

Jesse ,
I use 3/16ths ...

Nate-

Good videos, I beleive that John Schulz explains holding the bow and shooting it the same way in his video "Hitt'em like Howard Hill."

I talked to Jason a while back and its 3/16th with the strike plate. Pup

[ChrisM]

3/16 is what worked for me on stus calculator

real good vids, nate, for those wanting to emulate or understand the hill/shulz method.

Ok thanks, I'll keep trying.  I seem to be bang on at 10-12 yards but grouping 12" right at 20-22 yards.  I'll try again today and make sure it wasnt me then ill try heavier points.  I wish there was a store that sold glue on points around me!!

[ChrisM]

Jesse when I made the switch I was way to the right as well.  Give your brain about a week to reset and you will be right on.  What is your set up.  Tell us and some on here will be able to tell you if you are close. For example my 56# @28 26.5 draw needed a 45-49 spine 27.25 BOP with 160 up front.

[Jesse_83]

Sorry I meant I'm grouping 12" left from 20-22 yards. I'm shooting 65#@27".  I used stu's calc and it matched me with 70# spine 30" to BOP and 145gn points.  I should have ordered weaker shafts I guess.  But we'll see if putting 160gn points on makes a difference.

[Rob DiStefano]

really guyz, get yerselves test kits of the shaft materials you'll be using, along with a goodly range of point weights - this is the fastest and surest way to figure out arrow spine for any given bow (and archer).  over the decades, the test kit expense will more than pay for itself.

[Jesse_83]

I agree with you Rob, it's just that for me, ordering out of the states costs a little extra.  I was quoted $25 shipping on a $38 order of shafts.

[OP-archer]

I really enjoyed watching the video's that Nate posted.  I do have one question:  how is the "swing form" modified if there are obstructions in the way?  For instance, at the TBOF shoot in Ocala Nat'l Forest and our Traditional Shoot at our club there are trees/branches, etc that prohibit the "swing form" being used in the video.  Do you go back to the more classic target archers draw or is there another method that can be used?

Listen to what this man says!! Forget the calculators! They just give you the direction!
