Good article and sorry if this seems like a hijack but it goes with all the tuning help that you guys are posting.
Here's something I ran into today. Last week I was adjusting the drop on my QAD and let the barrel slide a little. I checked at distance and through paper and the tear was perfect. However, ever once in a while I could see an arrow do a little tiny fishtail and my arrows were slightly off center in the target. I asked MDBUCKHUNTER if he noticed this at all and he said, No". So, I thought I was imagining things.
Well, the bow still shot good groups back to 40 yds today. (Or at least as good as I can shoot). No problems with the arrows moving left as I moved from 20-40. Or at least if it was it was a very small amount. But I'd get 1 arrow that wouldn't quit cooperate and I assumed it was me.
However, I go shooting today I could see the arrows (not all 3 during1 group)fishtailing just a little on their way down stream just like Saturday and could see that my arrows were not grouping as good as they should.
With the QAD Hunter you loosen a lock down bolt and slide the barrel by hand to adjust. There are small marks but they are not very close together. So, I barely slide the barrel about 1/64" or less to the right and bingo the fishtailing is gone and my groups tightened-up. All right together at 40 yds if I shot right.
I learned3 things tonight.
1.I'm not as crazy as I was starting to believe.
2. Josh is blind and can't see an arrow fishtailing.
3. I think this is where the advice that you guys give about a micro adjust rest really comes in handy and is a great idea.
I may give creep tuninga try next to get super-tuned. After reading Rick James' post andthinking a great deal if it's even possible due to the slaved cams I may not. I know that you can adjust the cables and stringto correct if the marks are off a little on the binaries.And I do believe that the let-off will be changes. I know that moving the stop a very small amount changes the let-off from 65% to 80% due to the steep valley.
Sorry again for the hijack.
