How to Know If Your Bow Was Set Up Wrong (Checklist + Fixes) | FRIDAY KILL NOTES
If your bow feels “off,” you’re constantly re-zeroing, your arrow flight looks wonky, or your broadheads are all over the place—this episode is for you. Last week we talked about good shops vs bad shops and the red flags to look for. In this follow-up, I’m breaking down a simple checklist to help you diagnose what’s happening—because sometimes your bow really is set up wrong… and sometimes it’s the archer behind the bow (we’ve all been there). In this episode we cover: The #1 mistake I see: wrong draw length (too long vs too short) Anchor points for wrist releases vs handheld releases Peep height: why your peep should move to your eye—not the other way around Facial pressure and how it can wreck arrow flight Overbowed shooters: why ego causes bad form + injuries Center shot basics (and why people “tune” the wrong way) Why arrows fall apart past 20 yards when setup is off How shops can get it wrong (time, volume, inexperience) without shop-bashing The hard truth: how to tell when your bow is fine and you’re the variable If you’ve got questions, drop them in the comments—tell me what your bow is doing and what you’re struggling with, and we’ll try to help you work through it.
