![]() The increased fletch clearance with the cable operated fall-away is most dramatic when shooting fixed-blade broadheads. We have found that if a fall-away rest is operated by the cable movement, it produces such dramatic improvement that there is no doubt about the increase in forgiveness. We might "think" that something is more forgiving, but not have any real indisputable proof. Most of the time it comes down to opinion. However, it didn’t seem to provide much forgiveness, until the fall-away feature was tied into the movement of the cables.įorgiveness is difficult to separate from luck and improving shooting abilities. The fall-away arrow rest idea has been around for a long time. One particular way is the use of a fall-away arrowrest. There are a lot of ways to enhance forgiveness. They are really making the bow more forgiving, for a less than perfect shot. Often times, shooters think that by using the right arrows, a nifty release, or maybe a fancy arrowrest, that they are making the bow more accurate, not true. That’s the forgiveness I’m talking about. I am referring to having a bow setup that will hit where it is aimed even though I am unable to execute a machine like shot. We needed some forgiveness for a less than perfect shot.Įven though prayers are sometimes involved in our shooting, I’m not talking about that kind of forgiveness. Unless you are a human shooting machine (we are not), the bow being accurate was not enough. We came to realize that the problem was not in the equipment (as we had hoped), but with the person using the equipment. But, it was very critical to make sure that the bow setup did not deteriorate (cables and strings stretching, components coming loose, arrow bending, fletch tearing, etc…). The shooting machine has shown us that there was nothing we could do to make the bow more accurate. ![]() But, as long as nothing was damaged during the shot, the same arrow would dance in the same manner and use the same hole in the target, shot after shot. We have tried a lot of different bow setups, and seen some horrendous arrow flight come out of the machine. ![]() We know this to be true because we have checked it out for ourselves using a shooting machine. Meaning the cables or strings do not change length, nocking point doesn't move, arrowrest doesn't change, and the arrow does not get damaged. The only thing that does matter is that the mechanical integrity of the bow or arrow does not change. Arrowrest location, arrow spine, cam orientation, timing, and type of bow don’t matter. Regardless of how well the bow is setup or tuned. We have found that a shooting machine can indeed shoot a bow incredibly accurate. You need to practice more." This really is true. There is axiom that has been used a lot in archery circles, "If you were to put your bow on a shooting machine, you would see that your bow is capable of consistent accuracy. Only those who are perfect need not be concerned about forgiveness! It should ride on the rest as long as possibleand still let the fletching clear.That will give guidance to the arrow while giving you forgiveness.
