Allegiance Issues...
Well, after all the praises I've sung about my Allegiance, I'm finally having problems with her. [&:]
It's the middle of turkey season, I've sworn off the shotgun, and I was drilling tacks; time to mess with things! My serving around my cams was seperating pretty bad, especially around the loops. We had an extra Allegiance string and cable set lying around at work, so I took my bow in and we threw it on.
Big mistake.
My bow was shooting perfect bullet holes through paper with both field tips and broadheads at 6 feet and at 10 yards. Now, I can't get it to tear for the life of me. Neither can anyone else who works there.
Too make matters worse, it appears as if my cams are leaning. Not horribly, but enough that we've noticed it.
I didn't think the cam lean was bad enough to warrant a real interest so we spent the better part of today [off and on for our eight hour shift] trying to tune my bow. We tried it with the rest I had on. We tried it with the Limb Driver, which I had planned on switching over to, and we finally put a NAP Smart Rest on right at close.
I have no clearance issues, the arrows does not contact the rest at all and yet we cannot acheive good tears. The tears aren't even consistant. One minute we'll get a perfect tear and the next it's high and right or just high.
We tried shooting different vanes and feathers.
The timing appears to be fine. The only difference between when I took the bow to work yesterday and how it hangs in the shop now is the new strings.
I'm shooting a 2007 Allegiance at70lbs with a 27.5" drawand fast mods. I'm shooting Easton FMJ 400's with 100 grain tips, wraps, and blazers.
I'm stumped, frustrated, and a bit annoyed with myself. I knew I should have waited until after turkey season, but couldn't help it.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Words of wisdom? I love this bow, but I'm extremely frustrated at this point. What can I do, short of shipping it back to Bowtech?
