- how to tune a BowTech Reign 6 Reign 7 or Realm. In this video, I explain how to tune a BowTech Reign 6 and 7 but this same tuning can be used on their other Binary Cam bows as well. www.seansoutdo...
You’ve answered more questions in twelve minutes then I could find over the last few months. Thank you.
That's great!
Your videos are always pretty good. I really like when someone says “this is what you need to do and this is why”. Helped me with my realm x.
Great!
I've learned more ab tuning a bow in these 12 mins than any video I've ever watched. Thanks
Wow, thanks. Glad it was helpful. God bless you!
Great information. Something I found just by dumb luck when setting the center shot. I was looking for a clear piece of plastic so i could eyeball the arrow through it and mark the distance between the riser and the arrow front and back. happened to have the clear plastic from inside of a CCI .22 100 round plastic box and figured with all those holes it would be easy to see arrow shaft. As soon as I pressed the edge of the plastic against the riser you could see from the holes the shaft needed to be moved to the left.. then i checked for horizontal alignment and it was perfect. i keep that silly piece of plastic on my bench to this day. it gets me really close in a fraction of the time it did when i used other methods
That's awesome
@@seansoutdoors Just silly things we find out along the way. tuning my Realm 6 after having it tuned... No so happy of a camper at the moment. cam lean looks funky and and off center shot quite a bit...
You always make things look so simple. Very informative video. Keep'em coming.
Lol, you will need to know how to do this when you win yours. God bless you.
That was the best and the most concise tuning video I have seen Sean. I can't wait to try it out on the new Bowtech I hope to win on the map reading challenge!
Thanks Vital Point! Thanks for checking out my videos. I appreciate it. God bless you.

Thanks again Sean for another great Video! Thought I narrowed my decision down to the Reign 7 then I shot the Darton Maverick II and now have to head back and shoot the Reign 7 again. The Darton is a couple hundred less but which ever feels more "natural" will be the new bow in my "stable".
Thanks, Chris. Enjoy the bow whichever you end up getting. God bless you.
Sean
sweet video sean ! cant wait for deer season on next Friday right now i am just hunting squirrels
Amen! Enjoy your time in the woods. God bless you.
Great info thanks
You’re welcome
Thank you for making this VIDEO!!!
You are welcome! God bless you!
Another great video Sean. Keep up the great work. I do have a question what bow will you be shooting this year since you left DOD? If you are. It going to be using the pse will it get raffled off in the same fashion as your other bow?
I'm shooting the BowTech Reign 7 this year. I'm not sure yet what I will do with the PSE. I've been prayerfully discerning that, and from a spiritual perspective, I feel as though I am not to do anything at all with that yet.
We will see what happens. I'll definitely make an announcement if I decide to go that direction.
God bless you
Sean
I'm getting a Riegn 6 after bow season. Gonna sell my Savage 12 lpr to buy it. Then get s nice sight for it too. Well, I'll first go to a good bow store and check out all the bows first, but If this feels right in my hands I'm getting one.
Enjoy the bow, whatever you end up with. God bless you.
Great video. I think a lot of people get the tuning steps out of order and it starts to get confusing, so this really helps. One question about nocking point. I know you said center shot left to right and i know you said the arrow should be 90 degrees on the string. The question is: Where should a standard diameter carbon shaft be, in relation to the Berger hole (location on the string)? Do you recommend the bottom of the arrow intersect the center of the hole or should the hole be dead center of the arrow? hope that makes sense.
I often set mine up to center the arrow in the hole
Great video!
Thanks! God bless you
Hello... Thanks for this great video! I just bought a riegn 7 and the tech at my local shop said that these bows should have cam lean. That its set from the factory. I can't find any other info on this. Have you ever heard of that? Should I make sure there is no cam lean? Thanks.
Yes it should have lean. There are charts in their website how much lean there should be and where a laser dot should land if used to measure how much lean it has. If you don’t have a laser and need to tune it, remove all cam lean and shoot through paper. Add a half twist to the yoke on the side where your nock side treat is. So a right nick year you add twist to both t he too and bottom yoke on the right side...
@@seansoutdoors okay thanks. This is all new to me. Been a trad shooter for years so the learning curve is steep... but fun. :)
Sorry Sean maybe I should hace been more specific. I meant to say do we need to use the micro sync dials or other easy tune methods provided on the bow to dial in during paper tuning.
The micro sync dials are for when you don't have a bow press and need to make the adjustment. I guess you could even just use them if you have a bow press, but that is how I have always done it, and since I have a bow press that is how I did it. I guess next time the bow goes out of tune I can make a video on how to adjust draw stop timing with them. God bless ya.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures thanks
Hi Sean, I have a BOWTECH BTX 28 and I try to tune the bow , ATA is good ,brace heght is good , but the cables are not between the dots on the cams they are 1/16 of an inch below ,I tried to untwist the cables and to be between the dots ,the problem is in this case there is no twist in the cables at all. Any ideas ? Thank you.
Is there any twist in the yokes? If so , see if you can remove the needed twist from there. If not then it sounds like you’re cables aren’t too short
if your bow has those micro sinc dial bowtech say to use the dial to put tension on the cable that is on the cam that's slow witch is the same as putting twists in the cable to get the cam to catch up so I don't understand why you would put twists in the cable that goes onto the cam that is hitting early/to fast
The adjustment knob has a limited range of adjustment. I would get it close using twist and then fine tune with the micro adjust.
@@seansoutdoors the main thing that I'm finding confusing is that your saying that you add twists to the cam that is too fast were as the manual say to shorten the cable on the cam that's slow ether by adding twists or using the dial
@@tonyallen9131 You can test it out yourself. Add twist to the cable that goes to the cam that is hitting first and see what it does (which is what I recommend doing to fix the cam timing) then put it back and add twist to the cable that goes to the cam that is slow and see which one is fixing the problem. I can basically guarantee that it is by adding twist to the cable that goes to the cam that is hitting first. God bless you.
@@seansoutdoors I think sometimes the newer technology on some of the modern bows gets a little confusing on how to use it correctly for people like myself that are new to tuning their bows themselves, I just ordered a bow press so I can experiment with a few things myself.
At the moment my draw stops are hitting at the same time but my timing marks are a little out would you leave it as is.
I really appreciate your help and your quick responses, you've helped with many things since I started with archery thank you for that,
@@tonyallen9131 If you are getting proper arrow flight then I would leave it alone. The timing marks a guides and there is a tolerance for being off but within a certain distance. YOu'd need to check with the manufacturer for those tolerances though.
Can adding cam lean to get a bullet hole affect the cam timing?
Yes depending on various factors. But not definitely.
What bow vise do you use that fits the limbs on the Reign 6? Mine does not fit.
Mine is like this amzn.to/2RHEtzR
So is there not a need to use the smart bow tuning devices and gadgets on the reign. Or donyoy just prefer the tradirional tuning way?I shoot a reign7 and new to
archery. It seems to be shooting straight but I would like to get it paper tuned
I'm sure the smart bow tuning devices could be helpful, but I've been doing it this way for years and I don't have extra money to go buy gadgets so I do without them. God bless you.
what bow press do you recommend preferably not the most expensive one as I wont put any hard use on it
I would say first figure out what bow you need it for, then what your budget is, then see which of the approved presses will fit your budget. I like some of the presses that Last Chance Archery put out.
How many turns did u do on your yoke string. My arrows whip really hard to the left after release. Then I put 2 1/2 turns on my left cable. It's shooting better but I can still see it whiping. How much turn can I put on the string. It looks like my cams are leaning pretty far. Kinda risky to put more turns in. I changed from 400 spine to 340 spine and still shooting the same. What else can I check
Double check the center shot of the rest. Also, make sure you are not torquing the bow real bad with the way you are gripping it.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures
I let it sit as center as I can on my hand with little pressure on the draw just so that when I do my full draw I don't have any tourque on my bow. It shoots pretty bad. Now I shoot it tourqing to the left and my arrow seems to fly little srieghter.
I'd suggest taking it to a local pro shop so that they can look at in. It is too hard for me to really figure out what is going on with the bow through this method. Sorry.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures pro shop is the next step. Thank you anyways.
Is the nocking point on the bow tech reign 7 in the middle of the string?
You typically set the nock point by first placing the arrow going through the burger hole. Sometimes the arrow rest will dictate where you have to place the d loop because of where the rest needs to be to have clearance when it drops away.
@@seansoutdoors thank you so much for your quick response. I got it set up by the shop mechanic and got it set up were the arrow is little high from been in the middle of the burger hole I'd say about 2 to 3mm from been in the middle of the burger hole, does that sound OK?
@@tonyallen8626 Yeah, sometimes it needs to be that high due to the type of arrow rest used.
Any recommendations on a good arrow rest for the 6?
Depends on your preference. Hamskea is pretty reputable. You can also look at a limb driven rest. QAD also makes some good cable driven rests
when paper tuning if the tear is right or left couldn't it be the rest needs adjusted ?
With this type of bow, you center the rest, and then yoke tune it. You would do that if you had a bow that didn't have split yokes like an Elite.
Gotcha thanks. I'm using a Mathews No Cam no yoke on that either Good luck this season.
I have a question. I have 2 bowtech bows a BOSS & Fanatic 3.0 XL. 1 of the things I'm seeing a lot of people do is GUESS at cam lean. Why is that ,I can understand if its not a bowtech. Now bowtech says they have the proper cam lean position for each bow. So if your setting top and bottom cam straight than how can the bow be in tune? Is the string truly center of the bow top and bottom. Watching the bowtech university videos their not guessing at any part of the tuning process. whats the deal?
I take out cam lean as the starting point, then shoot through paper. It will tear right or left which indicates which side needs the cam lean put in. I then add the same amount of twist to the same side of each cable that goes to the limb. I'm not sure what you are talking about guessing because there is no guessing in that. You set the cams at no lean to learn which way you need to lean them and then you lean them till the arrow pears perfectly in paper indicating that it is coming off of the bow true.
Good luck with it and God bless you.
i'm new to archery & i know everyone has their own style so when i got to this point in tuning i asked bowtech directly about this they told me every bow that leaves their factory is set to the proper cam lean. so the guessing part to me is why take the correct cam lean out just to put lean back in but not to the factory settings ? also instance on the boss bowtechs cam lean chart has the correct lean just off center of the of the inside limb. now for the fanatic correct cam lean is middle of the limb. now before checking my cam lean against the chart i tuned the bow myself twice (1st time by myself 2nd time with some help)and both times shot bullet holes. Than when i checked the top cam lean against the bottom cam lean and than against the chart i'm 2 full twist out at the top and 1 full twist out at the bottom. or are you just bypassing the rough set can lean? thanks again for your prompt response
ruclips.net/video/VkLTN3jafcM/видео.html
I bypas the rough set, because that is all it is, a rough set. You still fine tune after the rough set. As for my bow, when they sent it to me, it was not in time, and the draw length was at 28 whereas I am 31 inch draw. I like to start from scratch because things obviously needed to be changed. They may have had it tuned for 28 inch draw but 31 is quite a bit longer and that can have an impact on the way the arrows behave coming off of the bow, so I just like to start from scratch. To each his own. Enjoy your bowtech.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures, ahh ok, thanks again.
What i have noticed with bows that have flexible cable slides the top cam has to have a bit of built in cam lean.
If not( Top cam perfectly straight) at full draw when the cables come in toward the arrow the cam will have left came lean.
could you get back with me i need some help tuning my reign 7...thanks
I'm surprised you are having trouble. They seem pretty easy to tune. Maybe check to make sure your arrow is properly spined
@@seansoutdoors it is i sent you a message on your contact page
Nice bows just to much money
Thanks for checking out my videos. I appreciate it. God bless you.
