Default Tuning nightmare

This is just another lesson for us all. Well me. I don't know what you call them, the hex head screws on my bowtech that goest thru the riser to I guess secure the limb in its pocket is critical!!!!

Long story short, I noticed accuracy went downhill and arrow flight, I could see doign all kinds of crazy stuff Friday evening. I have been meaning to recheck my idler wheel lean. Since the cable is new and figured let it settle in.

Well Sat, I work on the yokes, straightening out my idler wheel. It was leaning after a new cable. After that, I had a bad nock left tear, and poor arrow flight the whole weekend.In consistent tears all over the place. I tried paper tuning, retiming my MZE, french tuning, walk back, broadhead tuning. Spine tuning my arrows.Just didn't make any sense. How could 350 carbon express edges be weak spined which is typical of nock left tear?? I dropped my wieght down 6lbs, no change.Maybe even worse. put lipstick my fleches,sprayed foot powder on my fletch. No clearnace issues? After 3 hours yesterday and4 hours today, I was about ready to give up. I was getting ready to put the idler wheel leaning back to cable guard.

I then noticed that loose screw on the riser going into to limb. Tightened it up, and bullet holes. Went out and microtuned my rest with broadheads at 50 yards and now all is ok.

I would have never thought that hex headed screw made such a difference in flight.

Anyone else notice this?
