» Correct tiller on a recurve bow helps optimize the recovery behavior of both limbs, resulting in less vibration after the shot.
Finding the correct tiller is partly a function of string finger pressure and grip hand pressure.
Good results can be obtained with a surprisingly wide range of tiller settings depending on individual archer form variations. However, most archers can start with a 0 tiller to 1/4" positive setting.
There is no set rule for tiller due to the above mentioned archer variations- even a negative tiller may be desirable in some situations. Don't be afraid to experiment with various tiller settings- but remember, moving tiller will normally cause the nocking point to move as well. This means you will need to readjust the nocking point after a tiller change.
