Beiter Longrod Tuning Guide

[alexvpaq]

Ok I've shot with my Brand new beiter longrod for a month with the factory setting, it shot well for me, but how do i tune it ( yeah i already know i have to move the tuner... for those who are going to give me silly answers)
I need a precise tuning guide!
or something that will help me in the tuning of my longrod!

The factory setting has probably the optimum capabilities but im not sure if this'll work but wouldn't you be able to lossen all the tuners and shoot it and the tuners themself will move to the maximum frequency areas... but im definitely not sure with that.

Screw it into the riser. There are more important things to worry about.

I think you're thinking that they'll move to the minimum amplitude points - ie. the nodes.
I don't think that method would really work in practice, although I have a suspicion the nodes are the best place for them.

Indeed, I would think nodes would be the worst place for vibration reductions.

There's no way the tuners themselves will vibrate to anywhere during experimentation UNLESS you remove the rubber pads inside which then will give you an INaccurate result. I know because I've played around a lot and was lucky enough to get to somewhere I liked. Also, you'd have to tighten down the tuners quite a lot during testing. If not, you might find that the end result once you've tightened them up may not be what you like or are after.

Those of us who've used the Beiters or their copies know what a hassle those tuners can be. And I'm sure a lot have lost those little rubber pads inside. :mad:

Urgh thats such a hassel, well if i were you alexvpaq i wouldn't bother moving them at all.

LOOOOOL
Jay unless i get a good answer that's what im going to do LoL

[BrokenArr0w]

just mess around with them too see what feels best

Remember to make sure that the little spikes on the rubber pads align with the underside of the tuner. Sure spoils the mood to loosen one of them tuners just to see flattened spikes. :mad:
