Add Your Bow

Here's a step-by-step guide detailing everything you need to know to get your bow just right in Precision Cut Archery.

Tools and Equipment

• Tape measure
• Draw board (optional, but recommended)
• Caliper (optional, but recommended)

Measurements

We'll need a few key measurements from your bow for accurate ballistics calculations.

These will be taken when your bow is at full draw. A draw board is highly recommended. If you don't have one, a draw board can be built quite cheaply and easily using things you can find at your local hardware store.

Peep Height ("Peep to Arrow")

The first measurement we need is your peep height. This is defined as the vertical distance from the center of your peep sight to the center of your arrow shaft, taken while the bow is at full draw.

If you don't use a peep sight, the measurement is taken from your aiming eye to the center of your arrow shaft while at full draw. You'll want a friend to assist with the measurement in this case.

Sight Radius ("Peep to Pin")

The second measurement needed is your sight radius. This is defined as the horizontal distance from the center of your peep sight to the center of 'the thing you aim with', taken while the bow is at full draw.

The 'thing you aim with' could be a sight pin, a scope lens, a fiber, or whatever else you use to aim at your target.

If you don't use a peep sight, the measurement is taken from your aiming eye instead of a peep while at full draw. You'll want a friend to assist with the measurement in this case.

Add Your Bow to the Application

Now that you've taken your measurements, it's time to add your bow to the application!

From the "My Setups" page, click "Add Bow".

Type in a name for your bow, select your sight, and enter the measurements you took earlier.

Once you create your bow, you'll see it listed on the "My Setups" page.
