I'll tell ya, Milo got me started when I got fed up of the local shops doing crap work, and having no idea how to tune a bow. I bought a bowmaster press with split limb adapters, a bow vice, a string and arrow level, some serving and D-loop material, and with a little guidance from Milo, was on my way. There's a lot of trial and error, but if you take your time and record your steps as you go through your tuning, you can figure it out. It may take you a while before you feel real comfortable, but eventually, you will get it. I haven't taken a bow to a shop for over two years now. I wouldn't work on anybody else's equipment, but I feel comfortable working with Diamond/Elite/Hoyt bows.
