Default Defender tuning issue.

This may sound crazy but here goes. My Bowtech Defender is shooting bullit holes but the tip of my arrow is pointing a few degrees left of center on a right hand bow, but when I draw back it seems to come back to center. I shoot a QAD Ultrarest so I Know my arrow is only on the rest a split second. I was wondering if anyone else has notice this on their setups?

The wife's Defender has a centershot measurement of right at 1 inch and it will shoot a bare shaft and a fletched shaft into the same hole for her. The centershot also is slightly to the left when looking at it at rest, that's just where it needs to be for great arrow flight.

If your bow is tuned and your arrow is left of centershot and you are a RH shooter, then is sounds like either you are torquing the bow, or you are using too stiff of an arrow. You may want to: go to a heavier point, increase poundage of your bow, lengthen your arrows, or go to a different arrow.

I have an 05 Defender with a QAD Ultra rest also. My arrow tip at rest is slightly to the left of center. I shoot bullet holes through paper and my broadheads and field tips hit the same spot out to 40 yards. Sounds like you are fine to me.

On the '05 Binary cam bows, the string track was well past the center of the grip and they required more left of center arrow rest placement than looked "normal". The offset limb pockets on the '06 bows corrected some of this but the '05's still shot great for the wife and I. We still have our Allegiance and Defender
