Dont feel bad grandviewer Im having problems with mine also. I just got it the other day so far Im still trying to bare shaft tune it the way they suggest in the movie. I had it set put an arrow in it with vanes shot and same problem with the vanes hittting. the vane hit and tore the felt so now I have to install new felt and start over. I did order the one for Hoyt tech risers and Found out the have a different one for parallel limb bows so I dont know if thats what is causing the problems. I have a trykon.
