Default RE: Tuning problems

Try moving your rip cord rest as far forward on your bow as you can. Many times they are set up way too far back. Sometimes they are not dropping out of the way in time, or are acctually bouncing back up and making contact with one of your vanes. I high tear can often mean weak spine as well. Those super carbon arrows I believe are or were made by Carbon Express. CX arrows tend to be a little stiffer than advertised (tend to be... not always be). At any rate, if your bow is pulling 62# and its only supposed to be maxed at 60... something is too tight or too loose. I'd take a hard look at the cable... it may be twisted too tight and need to have a few twists taken out of it.

You definately do NOT want your fletchings to contact your rest, no matter what kind of tear you may be getting. Make sure that your rest is center shot as well. Most shops have squares, levels or even lasers that give you a good starting off point.
