Tuning Problem **update page 6** Bowtech guys little help?

kwilson16 · 08-13-2008, 06:32 PM

I have had the following tuning problem with 06 Allegiance for almost a year.
Accuracy and penetration seem fine but it contiunally makes the attachedtear on paper (5/8" long).

I have:
- Set center shot withmy EZ eye
- Tried different rests (QAD, Trophy Taker, WB)
- Replaced string and cable with WC
- Set timing marks to factory specs (sixth dot)
- My dealer has tried too

Bow stats:
70 lb 27.5" speed mod
GT Prohunter's 5575 27"
100 grain head

I can shoot bullet holes with my friend's 07 Guardian and my bow makes the same tear when he shoots it. I know that I can shoot it the way it is, but I believe it should shoot through paper better.

Any suggestions at all?

Have you tried turning the poundage down?

try 1 turn on each limb and see if that makes any difference.

Move the rest to the left. New arrows?

Wait mabey right

Kanga-
I will try it, but the Easton tuning guide describes this tear as a stiff reaction in compound release shooters.

Bowtech-
Moving the rest to the extreme adjustment (away from riser)will correct the tear but the arrow is so far from mechanical center shot that I do not believe it can be the correct way to shoot it.

I knew I would get that tear wrong

Go to a heavier head and see what happens if that dont work you might have to get more arrows and cut them longer to weaken the spine.

Your suggestion makes sense because my arrows are close to being overspined depending on who does the OT2 calculations.

Maybe I should pony up for 7595's then I could go high FOC?

Have you bareshaft tuned it? I find bareshaft much easier and quicker to tune. And it tells the tale about spine.
7595s will be even stiffer than what you got.

Generally when I see this, I have clearance issues with my vanes.

I shot it bareshaft today and the tear worsened. I have shot 4" duravanes as well as blazers with ideintical results. I have indexed my vanes for maximum clearance in relation to the cables.

I know that 7595 will be stiffer but the tuning guide mentions an opposite reaction:

For archers using release aids, it may, in some cases, be

necessary to apply adjustments opposite from those

described. The type of arrow rest and release aid

combination used can alter the dynamic flex of the arrow

to produce tear patterns contrary to those indicated

(although it is uncommon).

I am talking about bareshaft tuning. Papertune can cause more trouble than good
