Arrow Centering

The objective of arrow centering is to have the arrow leave the "theoretical" or "balanced" limb center of the bow. In actuality, it is the two nodes (Fig. 3) of the arrow shaft that should leave the center of the bow in direct alignment to the target. Releasing the string with fingers creates a horizontal bending motion within the arrow. Releasing the string with a release aid causes a slight up/down bending motion. Because of this, the arrows must be positioned differently for each style of release. Adjust the horizontal (in/out) position of the cushion plunger or arrow rest assembly so that the tip (center) of the arrow point is correctly aligned with the type of equipment you shoot. (See Node Alignment diagram to the right).
