This is a great question.

 

Generally its done by centering the arrow through the burger holes on the Riser getting a nock location on the string. With most bows you can set the nock point 1/8"above that. This is now your nocking g point. Tie you D loop to the string and start the tuning process. You may have to move the rest up or down small amounts to get the arrow to fly correctly. If it large amounts, note where it is and reset the nock point when the bow is tuned. The goal is to try to keep the arrow running through the burger holes best as you can.

Once I get a nock point I tie in a nock set with serving thread. Tie in the D loop and your set. I don't like using the D loop as a nock set, for me,it makes it too hard to load the release on that narrow loop.

 

When you level the arrow with the berger holes do you use a bow square or do you just eye ball it? Also is this the correct way in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWaHnmNDhfw

 

I am a firm believer in soft knots or soft nocks they are a great way to find a nock point

 

I will set the rest so the shaft is around level covering to top half of the burger button hole/ rest screw hole. The ill tie in the loop and use a RS system to get the height perfect.

 

Get the berger hole and lining up your arrow with it out of your head, those holes are for mounting your rest and nothing else. What is important is setting up your rest so it has full range of motion without hitting the shelf, then put the rest in the center of the shelf where you wish it would end up having awesome arrow flight.

Now start shooting through paper and see what the tears do as you move the d-loop up and down on the string, amazingly the tears will improve left to right and up and down on many bows and there will be one location where the tear is the best. It won't be perfect but it will be better than other locations, this is what I call the sweetspot.

Now you can use yolk tuning or moving the rest a little left or right to finish the job and get the perfect bullet holes at every distance and have your awesome arrowflight. This is why I can tune any arrow spine to shoot out of any bow because I adress the d-loop and the rest, most people just tie on the d-loop and if they are lucky they put it in a acceptable spot and they get a easy tuning session but sometimes they put it in a spot that causes them many hours of frustration and they are the guys who believe spine must be perfectly picked by a chart or ontarget programs.

 

I am not a bow shop guy who tunes hundreds of bows, I am a competitive 3d shooter who tunes my bow and a couple of friends. My specialist is the bow that I really feel like I nailed down and did the best job of tuning, I first did the factory specs and got rid of cam lean at full draw and got it cam synced at full draw. Once that was done I never changed that bow setup. I do not believe the popular yolk tuning that most people are doing is the best option. I then did the finding the sweetspot method I described above and then moved the rest left and right a little and found my bullet holes. It shot bullet holes with carbontech cheetas from 0ft to 20 yds at every distance between.

Here is the funny part, the cheetas weren't my 3d arrows that I was planning on using, they were in the mail on their way. I got the xjammers which were a .297 spine arrow and the cheetas were .400 spine arrows that only weighed 326 grains and the xjammers weighed 360 grains. I got them in the mail and built them and they shot perfect.

Right now I am shooting xxx fat shafts at 400 grains and they have a .150spine and they are still awesome with no additional tuning, I am to the point where I think bows have tha ability to be tuned to shoot almost anything if you know how to get things to the sweetspots that exist within the bow.

 

as you can see by the replies there are a number of different ways to do this. The Video like is a good way also. They all work. Try it and and you will come up with your own method at some point.

 

I do the same as Padgett and it work's out as great for me.
