Shooting a bow in

[Eric Krewson]

I don't feel like any of my bows are shot in until I have 1K arrows through them. By then, any changes that are going to happen in the limbs have done so. The most common change is the bottom limb going a bit weak. I correct this by lopping an inch off, re-cutting my nocks and adjusting the now strong bottom limb to match the top.

I used to heavily exercise my bows on the tiller tree between scraping sessions, but I've stopped that practice. The only thing that accomplishes is adding unnecessary set. Now I wait until after the bow is tillered before I beat the crap out of it.
