Jcrawford2001 good point.

I had a buddy come over last night with problems. He damaged his cables in the woods Friday. He dropped his bow by a shop (not the one I work at) and picked it up saterday before they closed. He tried to shoot it Sunday and the arrows were going all over the place. None of the shops are open on Sunday so he gave me a call. Now the guy at the other shop assured him the bow was shooting bullet holes. He comes over and we shoot a test arrow. The darn thing is shooting cork screws and he is complainging the draw is shorter that is used to be. We got on Hoyt’s and checked the factory specs. The bow was 1” to long A to A and the brace height is ¾” short. That tells me the cables are to long. I was trying to find something to use to check the cam lean when my daughter came in with the laser pointer that she uses to tease the cats. We use a similar pointer from Spot Hogg at the shop. I checked the pointers plumbness on my bow because I know it is correct. It gave the same results so I trust its accuracy. The idler wheel was leaning so bad the beam wouldn’t even shot on the bottom limbs. We twisted the cable to get the bow back to spec and lined the cams. Then we checked the center shot. The guy set the arrow rest so far to the right the darn thing was pointing off the shelf. After setting the rest we went back outside and the bow shot great. After paper tuning and fine tuning we had his field points and broadheads hitting in the same spot.

I don’t know about all shops, but the other shops in my area don’t spend the extra 5 to 10 min to make sure it is correct. I just won’t let myself turn out something that isn’t as correct as I can make it. I don’t know of any books to buy but you can download the Easton Tuning guide free. It is a great resource. http://www.eastonarchery.com/downloads/

If you have any questions shoot me an email and I will do what I can.
