Default So I'm getting a new bow...

I'll soon add a Katera to the collection.

I've tried the bowtech thing and I'm at my wits end, I've never wanted to throw a bow so badly in my life. If the 82nd makes it through the weekend without being run over by a dozer... it'll be a miracle. Maybe I've got the lemon, but this thing has been the most troublesome bow I've ever handled. My 1994 Bear Whitetail with wheels and steel cablestuned better than this bow. All the specs are PERFECT... ATA, brace height, string length, cable length, tiller is perfect, draw stops are exact... the bow will not tune. Period. It won't bare shaft, it won't broadhead tune, and it still feels like I have about 20% let-off.

I've done everything, added twists to the strings and cables, taken twists out... you name it. I took everything off of the bow today and completely started over and achieved the same results. I have a buddy that sets up about30 bows a year, and we spent 4 hours working on it today... he can't figure it outeither.

I tuned a 101st today the same way that I've tuneddozens of bows, it took all of 10 minutes. It stacks BH's, bare shafts and fieldpoints. For some reason, my bow will not do this.

Anybody have any clue?Scott, Matt, Rob...If any of you guys think you can figure it out, I'll keep it and ship it to you. But as for medoing ANYTHING else to this bow, I'm done. It's a shame because I liked the bow, I like my buddies'82nds and 101st, but this particular bow isn't"cutting the mustard".
