ABSTRACT:
An archery bow is tuned by making a tuning arrow that either has a tuning point rather than a broadhead, wherein the tuning point compensates for the weight and balance of the broadhead, weight at the rearward portion of the arrow instead of fletching and which compensates for the weight and balance of the fletching, or both. This produces a tuning arrow having substantially the same weight and balance point as the arrows to be shot from the bow during normal shooting. The tuning arrow is used to tune the bow and because the weight and balance point are substantially equal to the weight and balance point of the arrows normally shot from the bow, the tune obtained using the tuning arrow is the correct tune for the normal arrows also.
