Default RE: STS... a tuning nightmare??? UPDATE

ORIGINAL: Buck Magnet

Hey guys,

I figured that I would give you guys and update. This evening I was at the pro-shop about an hour and a half before I had to do my screen shoot so I set-up the paper tuning rack and decided to mess with the STS system. I spent nearly an hour messing with it and finally I was able to get it to shoot bullet holes through the paper. I had to move the stopper closer to the center of my string but I also had to be very careful because when set as close to the center as possible, the cables would bump the STS when drawing back. I am glad that I finally got it all set-up but boy was it a pain.

I got a chance to chrono my bow with my new arrows and I was pleasently suprised...

2006 BowTech Old Glory (fast mod)
70# draw weight
29" draw length
STS system
single brass nock and fletcher tru peep on the string
Simms Limbsaver Ultras and BowTech Vibra-blocks
27.5" Gold Tip Pro Hunter Advantage 55/75's with 4" Vane Tec vanes and Burt Coyote Lumenocks....

I was getting 297 f.p.s to 299 f.p.s. This seemed really fast, maybe the chrono was off?
Don't know unless you weight those arrows. It doesn't seem that far off though.
