You are a great teacher! I love how you went step by step with no fluff. Time to go tune my bow!
This Guy,.. KNOWS,.. his chit !!!
By far the most informative tuning video ive "needed." I have the same bow, rest, peep...single pin is different but this video immulates my needs. Thanks!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment 👍
I second that! This is fantastic!!! Thanks a lot
@@EastmansHuntingJournals Great video! I'm going to new arrows this year. I'll start from scratch.
I find it helps to visualize what is happening (nock left/right). For those new to this issue, I hold one index finger up a few inches in front of my nose (the "string") then with the other hand, form a "V" with my index/middle fingers (the "rest") and hold that out a few inches beyond my single finger. Now, I can visualize where the rest aligns with respect to the string. His description of nock-left, and the adjustment of the rest to correct it, now makes sense.
Good example. How I think of it is like having fletchings on the front of the arrow and the direction the front is pointing will steer the arrow unless the rear fletching is much larger overpowering the front fletching. Hence why very large fletching and or a small folding broadhead are sometimes used to put a bandaid on a poorly tuned bow.
I never knew that Charlie Hunnam is good with bows..... 🙂
As I don't have tools, this is how I started to put my bow together, and set it up , I'm new to archery, I just eyeballed the things, and fine tuned from that point.
Well done Video, easy to understand!! 🙌
This is the method I've been using for 20 plus years, but I'd never seen anyone else doing it. Simple, quick and works consistently.
What an awesome video! Straight to the point, no-nonsense explanations on why/how to do this process. I appreciate these how-to's!
We appreciate your feedback! We will do our best to keep this type of content coming. How will you be using your tuned up bow this fall?
This is the BEST broad head tuning video I have ever seen so far!! Bar none!
I love the bow, the sites are great, but that rest is truly amazing!! There is nothing I don't like about this rig!
Thank you for all the work, and the simple explanation.
Thanks for watching!
Great video Dan. One of the best we’ve seen on the subject. Simple is beautiful
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.
Oh man thank you Dan! Iv ben shooting for 4 years and I'm self taught or maybe TH-cam certified would be a better term. I'm now a pretty strong shooter but this simple to the point instruction is so key and really puts things together for me and other folks who are new or have ben at it awhile.
Glad to hear! Its very easy to over complicate things and get your wires crossed. Tuning can and should be simple!
Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.
That’s a great video .. I’ll be watching this as I’m field tuning my broadheads! Thanks for this straight forward knowledge.
Immaculate video, easy simple and not backwards.
Steps and process on the money.
Learned more on this video than watching 15 other small short videos.
Thanks for your work and sharing your success
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your feedback. We'll try to keep this kind of content coming 👍
That’s how I tuned my bows back in the day Dan. I didn’t even know what paper tuning was. Great Stuff brings back the good old bow tunning days. Keep up the Strong Work 💪🏻
Heck yeah, keep it simple and streamline, broad tuning is what matters for the bowhunter!
I’ve been doing this for years, you explained it , so easy to understand
Paper tuning is very important you do not want the arrow hitting what your shooting at sideways. You need perfect arrow flight to shoot fixed blade broadheads. Thank you for the video
But when you go to broadhead tune you essentially take your bow out of paper tune. Paper tune only gets you close.
Exactly. -Dan
One of the best videos I’ve watched on setting up and tuning a bow. Awesome job!
Glad it helped. If you don't know what spine of arrow your bow likes then I suggest you start with bare shaft tuning then move into this broadhead tune. -Dan
great video.simple and straight forward.this is great for the guys that dont live close to the shop!
As a newbie this was super helpful. I've spent weeks finding some of these things out by experimenting and accident. I have never seen this put into one concise video. Thank you.
Glad this was helpful! Thanks for watching 👍
Finally a tuning video that is simple and to the point! What a breath of fresh air for a rookie like myself. 🤙🏻
We appreciate the feedback! We will keep these types of how to videos coming! Will you be bow hunting any big game this fall?
@@EastmansHuntingJournals
Well I guess it depends on what’s considered “big game,” but I’m a surfer to my core, so most of my free time I’m hunting for waves, but during the fall, I just hunt black tails in the mountains behind town. It’s been one of the most difficult challenges of my life getting close to these animals but the adventure is ALWAYS next level! I guess u get out what you put in right?! I definitely need to work on putting in more time in the mountains and less in the ocean. We’ll see how it goes!
Anyways thank you for the video!
Good luck out there! Sounds like an adventure either way 👍👊
@@EastmansHuntingJournals only issue with this is they are backward, wrong information. Move rest toward broadhead impact.
@@lukeonderko8696 I encourage you to try this method even though it's not traditional. It gives you great broadhead accuracy.
Thank you. After watching this video I went out and had mine tuned in 15 minutes. My broadheads and target points hit in the center. I can't thank you enough. Great learning tool.
Glad this was helpful! Thanks for watching 👍
Best Broadhead tuning advice I’ve ever seen.
Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Just getting back into bow hunting. Just got that bow and setup last week. Thank You for the great video. That helps me so much.
👍👊 that’s awesome! Let us know how your fall goes! We want pictures!
This is truly a great way on adjusting the rest , didn't know this. Thanks for your video !!
I love the simplicity of this technique! Definitely going to try it! Great video!
Glad you like it!
About to start tuning my own stuff going to buy a little cheap press to get started been toying with the idea for a couple years now and I think this might be the best video I’ve ever seen on set up
Best bow tuning video I’ve seem. Great job
Dan. I really appreciate the "kiss" method- for me, being the last "s" in "kiss", simplifying process makes tuning enjoyable rather than a frustrating headache. I, as well as many other viewers (IF I can speak for the masses) appreciated the "Blue Collar" approach and realism you bring to your videos! This is what makes Dan a joy to watch. There is NEVER a ? whether he's being honest, transparent, and providing his best info with the true intent of helping others! Refreshing! Ty for your "content"& providing clear info for those of us who want the practical, applied hunting specific info. Keep em in the kill zone!
We sure appreciate the feedback Greg! We will do our best to keep producing these types of videos. Will you be bow hunting this fall?
Wow I can't believe the timing of you video release! I was just looking for this information today, the day it posted! Great info, thanks a ton Dan! I'm hunting spring bear here in MT and have never been able to pair my field tips with broadheads, seasonally switching sucks!
Glad was helpful! Let us know how that spring bear hunt goes 👊👍 send your hunting stories and pics to editorial@eastmans.com
Thank you for this great video. I have several friends that have inquired about bow hunting and I believe this video will help them tremendously.
Thanks for your feedback. Definitely share it around, and check out this playlist for more bow tuning and set up: th-cam.com/play/PLsCaxOyKjb4oEJlv2jD4sgqvZdYrwct5R.html
Awesome tutorial! Tuning a bow can be agonizing and this made it super simple.
Thanks for the feedback! We will keep videos like this coming 👍👊 where are you bow hunting this year?
@@EastmansHuntingJournals keep up the good work! I’m anxiously waiting for NM’s draw results but I was able to snag an OTC elk tag in Idaho
Best arrow rest tuning video I've found and I've watched a few. Also I have a whisker biscuit new to bow hunting this year and now I have baseball size groups with broadhead and field tips. Thanks so much man was I getting frustrated 😂
I seriously learned so much from one video. Thanks man that was a great video.
Nice vid, very simple and clean and well done, explained very well without any extra stuff to confuse,,, really like your style, keep it up and send em’ Yah 👍
I just got into archery and this is an excellent video. The way you explain everything out is super appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoyed this breakdown and attention to detail! thanks!
Mate this was a great video. Explained everything for ease of understanding. Thanks for providing this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This made tuning so much easier to understand. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Dan,
I really enjoyed video that you did on Broadhead tuning. Recently, while I was hunting, i noticed that my pin was a little to the left of my arrow and my string at rest. I thought I had seen this all in one before, so I made an adjustment when I got back to the camp. And got it in line. I did shoot it add a short yardage because it was dark and I couldn’t see much past the light from the cabin. It shot well and so I thought that’s how it should be. But watching you turn this broad head and show that the pen should be a little to the left, really came home to me as yesterday I hit a deer Left of where my thought on and was not able to recover the Eno. It was a very doable shot, and I should have made a double one yet, but instead, I hit shoulder and was not able to recover Leanna. I wish I had seen your video sooner, because in moving my pin to the right, I move my point of that impact to the left and what I thought was a chip shot. Ended up being a nightmare for me. Thank you for this great video and I hope others are paying close attention to what you’re presenting.
I am really sorry to hear that, bowhunting can cause mind games for sure. Yeah the pin will always be out of plane to the left of your arrow in the resting position on a right handed bow. This reflects how much torque your bow has that is caused by the cable guard. -Dan
Thanks a lot brother I appreciate the truth and honesty the bow shop I go to acts like he can't let me see how to adjust my bow because it takes out of his pocket but you just explained a whole lot of stuff to me and that's why I subscribed thanks again
Glad this was helpful!
Excellent tutorial - easy to understand 👍
This is the best tuning tutorial I've seen

Thank you my man. That was well received!

Great video Dan
Thank you for the lesson one tuning my broadheads, this video was very useful thankyou
Probably the best video I've seen on tuning...simple enough for anyone to learn!
Thanks for your feedback 👍
Perfect video for real hunters
Love the video, very informative like Spines says. Great job! I still paper tune in my shop but when it comes to hunting as you say, close kills! lol. Great job.
Absolutely the easiest I've seen it put...great video and info. Thx....new subscriber
Thanks for the sub!
Explained well, this really works everyone!!
great video. Cleared up a lot of questions/concerns I had. Appreciated the demonstration!
Thanks for your feedback 👍 glad we could help
simple simple simple...thanks dan for the great video! Can't wait to try it out with my new V3 31!
Awesome! Let us know your first impressions of the V3 once you get your hands on it and tuned up.
I have the same bow and rest. This video is really helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Outstanding video. Very informative. Thank you!
Great stuff man! Definitely simplified the process. I appreciate the time and effort you put in to this. I wish the guys at my local archery shop weren’t so snobby about literally Everything, they make archery out to be an elitist activity like golf or something. I have started cutting and squaring my own arrows just so I don’t have to go there. If they were regular guys like you they would make more of my money. LoL.
Will be buying a V3 soon I’ll definitely be watching this video again!
You make it simple and easy !
Thanks once again for another interesting and informative video on a great topic. I admittedly struggle with getting my fixed blade broadheads to fly or hit close to my field points. But that was my fault I switched to a heavier arrow (11.25 gpi at 29 inch draw and 45 grain insert and 100 grain cut on contact broadheads, would have tried 125 or 150 but online and local retailers were out or don't carry) too late in the preseason and only shot those and no field points since that's what I was hunting with.
20 yards was "fine" but 30 was all over the place and I didn't even sight for 40 and 50. Whitetail woods usually doesn't offer shots more than 35 anyway.
I am working on getting my old 2006 PSE ready for spring turkey. Not sure if I should switch to a wide cut mechanical for turkey then back to fixed for deer or just stick with the fixed all the way through
Great video, been putting off broadhead tuning because everyone seems to overcomplicate it by adding paper tuning and bareshaft tuning and that's just a bunch of stuff for newer archers. Glad to see I can get my broadheads shooting accurately without all that extra work that I'm not confident I could do correctly.
I still suggest bare shaft tuning before you broadhead tune if you aren't totally sure what spine you'll need to start with. I have another video on that. -Dan
I learned so much, thank you 🙏
Best bow tune video.
Thank you so much this is extremely helpful
Wow, after shooting for over forty years I see how easy it can be. BTW, I have a MATHEWS VXR 28 LH. I can say it's the best Mathews I've ever owned. Great how to video
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated! What are you planning to bow hunt this fall?
Great simple how to. Thanks.
Glad this was helpful!
This is great! Paper tuning sucks! I love how relaxed your explanation was. Makes me much less apprehensive about doing this tuning process myself. Thank you for making this video!! Good luck this fall.
Good luck to you too! Thanks for watching
Nice simplified explanation 👍
Glad this was helpful! Are you bow hunting this fall?
Thank you. Well done and helped me out.
Now I can properly tune thanks for the explaining my guy

You got my subscribed. Thank you sir!
great how to video! thanks dan!
Man love your VDO I’ new for this one I learn a lot thank you very much
Great information!
Thank you! This was fantastic!
You are so welcome! What will you be bow hunting this fall?
Great info man, thanks
Great vid Dan! A lot of people that can’t get a big fixed head to fly great always think it’s the broadhead, when in reality it’s either their bow isn’t tuned, their arrow has problems (not spined correctly, or arrow components aren’t square) or there is a problem with their form. Most times it has nothing to do with the head.
Thanks for your feedback! Where are you bow hunting this fall?
100% correct man!
@@EastmansHuntingJournals Just my home state of Utah.
Terrific well explained vid.
Had my bow worked on at a pro shop charge me a bunch of money for some repair parts got hit to sight it in, mind you I'm new to the game got home bow shot like crap, just watch your video and everything was out of wack, just sighted it in and lined up the arrow like you said . Can't wait to fire her off tomorrow..thanks
That was really awesome. Thank you
Awesome video. Thank you
Wow definitely a great video!! Thanks for information
Your easy to understand and follow . Thanks you .
You are welcome!
Amazing video man!!! I need to run through this for sure
Thanks- glad it’s helpful for you!
Great info! Thank you
Simple is good! Nice tuning video!
Thanks for the feedback 👍
I'm very interested in tuning and setting up my own stuff in the future but not ganna lie its a little intimidating. This video made me feel better! Thanks dude!
You bet! You can do it!! I also suggest watching my other tuning video on tuning any bow, before you broadhead tune. It will make your life even easier. -Dan
Great video! Thanks for sharing this with us! 👍👍

@@EastmansHuntingJournals yes bow hunting this fall. And your tips are extremely helpful!! Thank for be the Good !! Good luck on all your hunts too this year !! 👍👍
Outstanding video sir. Thank You!

Great video, this tends to be over complicated 👍
Thank you Dan great video !! I just picked up my new V3 and shoots great !!
Excellent! What are you hunting for this fall with that new V3?
@@EastmansHuntingJournals Turkey season opens in a couple weeks here in Wisconsin then Whitetails in fall.
Great! Thank you.
Incredible video…
This was a very informative video
Glad it was helpful!
Dude this is awesome. Definitely subscribed.
Glad you liked this video! Dan breaks down arrow selection in this one: th-cam.com/video/npsVUw1OJDk/w-d-xo.html
Excellent video. I especially like the parts about looking downward from the top of the bow and aligning (eyeballing) the arrow with the centerline. I don’t know why I have never done that. The other part you explained extremely well is what to do with nock high, low, left, and right.
Glad this was useful to you! Good luck this fall!
