Default Bow update
Well, after getting WWAG's most excellent press and finally getting around to working on my bow, it's somewhere I don't think it's ever been since I owned it- In spec

Everything is dead on right now. It's amazing how the FDC feels different, holding characteristics, etc. It needs a serious re-tune, as my nocking point is now almost 1/2" off, but things are looking up. Once re-tuned, I'll set the chrony up to see what if anything I gained/lost. During this process, I'll hopefully be able to get a good feel for what the NVs are doing for it.

On to round #2...

Isn't it nice to be able to tinker with your setup until you are entirely happy with it? I know I would feel very frustrated if I was not able to do this as well.

Let us know how it goes.

What did you do to have your nocking point change by 1/2"? Is that from string/cable twisting?

Yes

My ATA was off 1/2" and my brace by almost as much. Remember, the "proshop" yahoos had me seriously out of whack...

Like stepping into a whole new world, or something like that.

Hope you are having fun, and the bow is all you want it to be when you finish.

Actually, I've been on the lookout for that comment...

Some day, maybe sooner than later. Or maybe not...
