Issue 198: Tuning Special. This issue aims to fine-tune your gear and your form. First, we invite you to master paper tuning with Dr. James Park and George Ryals: the former explains what paper tuning is for, and the latter gives a masterclass session on perfecting your bow hand via paper tuning feedback. We move onto presenting the 4 big tuning staples for your home workshop by Shocq Archery, and the 12 essential must-haves for your bow kit; everything from bow squares, limb gauges, and thread, to bow scales and fletching jigs - all you need to be confident around your gear. We have two technique fine-tuning masterclasses: J.C. Holgado teaches you how to achieve a perfect elbow angle at full draw with your recurve, and Duncan Busby shares expertise on how you can fix compound draw length issues once and for all. Adam Miller helps you optimise your sight pin position for 70 meters, as Sophie Meering settles the prevalent tuning debate: pressure button vs. draw weight. Jan H. Sachers concludes his two-part history feature on the bows and arrows in the Bible, looking at proverbs and divinations. We also catch up with Gillo Archery and look at their latest exciting product, the GILLO Invisible Cross Sight Pin. Tune for perfection - elevate your craft!
