Tuning Made Easy with S.E.T. Technology

Pro Archer Shot-Coach shows how to paper tune with Elite S.E.T. Technology so broadheads and field points hit the same spot. Stand 6 to 8 feet from paper, loosen the lockdown screws with a 5/32" Allen wrench, then turn the drive screw based on tear size: roughly one full turn per inch of tear. Retest until you get a bullet hole, then re-tighten.

Proper arrow flight is essential for broad head and fill point grouping and to be super accurate. Elite set technology makes it extremely simple for you to be able to make those adjustments. And today we're going to do a little paper tuning and I want to show you exactly how to make these adjustments. So oftentimes hunters experience the phenomenon where your broadheads don't hit with your fill points. It's so aggravating. And to be able to tune that out of the bow is actually pretty simple. All you have to do is know how to shoot through the paper and how to read that tear and how to make those adjustments. So to do this, all you need is an Allen wrench and some paper, and we're going to stand about 6 to 8ft from that paper and shoot through it. And it's very important that you're honest with yourself and make a really good shot. And if the shot you shoot feels like you could have done a little bit better, then you probably need to shoot it again and make sure you get consistent tears through the paper before you start making any adjustments. So we're going to shoot some arrows through the paper. Like I said, I'm standing about 6ft or so from the paper and we're just going to read how this arrow flies through it. So this is what we would call a right tear. It's about a one inch tear and you can see where the point of the shaft went into the paper and the arrow tailed off to the right. So this is why we call it a right tear. So easily fixed with set technology, you have a lockdown screw on the top of the riser and a lockdown screw on the bottom of the riser. And you want to loosen both of Those up. The 5:32 Allen wrench and you can leave these loose while you're making these adjustments because it's not going to move and you might have to make multiple adjustments. And then when you get it lined out and you get a good hole through the paper, you can just lock it right down. So what I found, at about six feet from the paper, if you have a one inch tear, that correlates to about a one full turn of revolution on the screw. If it was a half inch tear, it'd be about a half turn on the screw. So the riser actually has callouts on it and tells you which direction to turn the drive screw. So this is a right tear. So it says tail, right. And I'm going to turn it one full turn. Do the exact same thing on the bottom that's a clockwise turn for a right tear, and I'm going to leave that unlocked and we're going to shoot another arrow. So it's really just that simple. So this is a perfect bullet hole. And what that means is the arrow is penetrating the paper. The fletching is following it perfectly behind it. And why a broadhead will actually shoot straight now is because with that impact, the fletching is actually in control of the arrow, instead of the broadhead affecting the flight of the arrow like it would be with a right tear. If the arrow comes off the bow and it has a right tear and the broadhead is on the front, it's grabbing more wind than the fletching can overtake at that time. So that's why the arrow impacts to the left. So you would have the same thing, just vice versa if you have a left hare. So once you get everything shooting a bullet hole, be sure and lock these lockdown screws back down, and then it won't move on you. And I'm telling you guys, you're going to want to take the shootability challenge. Go to your local authorized elite dealer and check out set technology for yourself.
