BS Custom Bow Tuning

BS Custom Bow Tuning is run by Shane Chuning, a bow hunter based in Cedar City, Utah who moved to the area in 2004 specifically for hunting access. He handles bow tuning, barefoot testing, and detailed bow setup for serious hunters.

• •Barefoot tuning - Tests arrow flight without fletching to diagnose spine match and cam geometry issues
• •Full bow setup and tuning - Handles complete bow configuration, string service, and optimization
• •In-the-field testing - Reviews bows under real hunting conditions, not just range work
• •Custom string evaluation - Assesses factory vs. custom bowstring performance (works with Top Flight Archery Bowstrings)

Based in Cedar City, Utah with access to hunting grounds across Southern Utah's high country. The area provides 9,000+ foot elevation hunting terrain on the Markagunt Plateau and surrounding mountains. Shane operates by appointment—booking is available through the website.

Shane publishes detailed technical reviews of current bows. Recent focus includes:

His reviews dig into specifics that matter to hunters:

• •Lateral nock travel - Cam lean from brace to full draw, affecting forgiveness
• •Draw cycle quality - Ease and smoothness relative to speed output
• •Grip comfort and repeatability - Direct contact point and how it influences accuracy
• •Bow stability - Pin float, post-shot balance, stabilizer requirements
• •String performance - Factory vs. custom bowstring longevity and tune consistency
• •Spine optimization - Arrow selection for maximum forgiveness with specific cam designs

"From tuning to shooting groups down range, comparing other bows on hand and it didn't matter what department when comparing, these bows checked all the boxes exceptionally well." — Shane's Truth Archery review

Shane approaches bow tuning from a hunter's perspective, not a bench shooter's. Everything is tested carrying a bow in the field, practicing archery skills in real conditions, and evaluating performance during actual hunting scenarios. He frequently references elevation (9,000+ feet in Cedar City), hand-feel during extended carry, and the forgiving nature of tuning under variable conditions.

The blog covers bow reviews, tuning technique videos, and troubleshooting (recent posts address tail-right conditions with Hoyt & Elite cam systems). Shane actively shares knowledge with other hunters and outdoor enthusiasts through his platform.

Top Flight Archery Bowstrings is featured as his bowstring partner, emphasizing factory string quality when properly tuned.
