I need help. I just bought a new bow (xt) and had the biscuit put on it. I didn't exactly like the way it was put on, so I remounted it. Well I have had the bow for 4 days and have shot it about 6 hours worth. My brand new vains look like they are years old. They are wrinkled up from end to end. Every vain is wrinkled. Also, I noticed the arrows themselves are getting scuffed up. So from previous posts it appears that my bow is out of tune and possibly badly out of tune. If it were out of tune, would all the vanes be damaged or only some of them? Can I tune it in with the wrinkled vains? If so, where do I start? I did see the arrows fishtailing the past two days, but there was a strong cross wind.
Additional info: Carbon arrows, 4 inch vanes, Large WB.
thanks for the help
Stinkbelly,
Try thisfirst......Set up the biscuit with a center shot (to the string), next make sure the biscuit itself is level (not tilted forward or back) set yournock at 90deg. and your tiller even. You can start your tuning process from there. I have found that the Whisker Biscuits I have set updid not need much more adjustment (if any) from this set up.The ones that did were mostly with adjusting the center shot. I haveyet to need to adjust the tiller or nock position.
If you are having trouble setting it up get to a good pro shop and have them set it up to the basic settings listed above and tune from there.
Good luck
