Hi everyone,
I'm new to the site and have come here in search for answers. I shoot a 2005 Bowtech Defender VFT 28.5" draw, 66# bow w/Easton ST axis 340's, 100 grain tips, trophy ridge dropzone rest, string loop, tru-fire release, and tru-glo site. I have had an impossible time paper tuning my bow. I was shooting a whisker biskuit and constantly had a upwardright tear in the paper from as far out as 10 yards. I tried every adjustment possible and could not get anywhere close to a "bullet hole" Today I switched to a trophy ridge dropzone hoping that would help me solve the problem. No luck, instead my problem is even worse!!! If I paper tune at 10ft I get a right tear that is almost 3"long !!! No matter what adjustment I make to the rest I can't shrink the tear. I've tried shooting Axis 400's w/no change. I've tried 125 grain field point w/no change. I've moved the nock up and down over a full in w/no change. i've moved my rest left and right over it's full adjustment range w/minimal change. I've experimented w/my grip and can make the tear worse but not better. My arrows appear to fishtail badly but I can't fix it!! The oddest thing is the nock is properly set, (per bowtech's technical department @ "0" on my square) the arrow is centered from left to right and the fletchings don't appear to contact anything. Any changes I makedon't have any effect on my tear. They should but they don't!! ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
