Limb Savers changed my tuning

I threw on some limb saves for solid limbs. I put them about 1/2" below where it forks. Now my POI has dropped 2 maybe 2.5" at 30 yards and my 3" groups at 30 yards are now 5". Guess I better paper tune. Happen to anyone else?

I would believe something else happened never seen or heard of that even for my self. check everything first one thing at a time....

Yes indeedy limb savers will slow your bow down. How much limb energy the savers knock off depends on the type of limbs, draw-weight, setup, etc.

Anytime you put something on the limbs or string of a bow, in most cases you will lose some speed (stored energy).

It must depend on the bow, because some of mine have increased 1-2 fps when Limbsavers were installed.

I've seen both cases..speed loss and speed gain...depends on where you put them and how much vibe/recoil the individual setup has.

But it's usually only a couple of FPS either way...shouldn't cause a 2" drop at 30 yards. Are you positive the buss cable or string is not contacting them in their forward motion?

Holy cow, I lost 10fps. I was shooting 275fps before. Now around 265 or 268 with my shooting chrony. I would take them off to verify, but you only get one stick with these for solid limbs.

JeffB, It look like I am now poiporsing (however it spelled). I get nice vertical groups at 30 yards now not 2" wide, but 6" tall. I am going today and paper tune again. These limb savers did quiet down the bow however significantly. I think its worth the effort to retune.
