Default Upset with 82nd...

No, my limbs didn't fail.

I can't broadhead tune this thing for the life of me. I spent roughly six hours (off and on)with this thing today, and I can't figure it out.

Started out with the Limbdriver installed. It was the original model, without the vertical adjustment.

I started from scratch day before yesterday at work. I re-squared/paper tuned it before leaving work tuesday night. I sighted in/walkback tuned with fieldpoints yesterday evening.

Today I go to shoot broadheads and run into the same problem I had last week. I run out of adjustment before the POI gets close to the same. At 20 yards, I can cut vanes right and left, but step back to 30+ and I'm off again. 30 yards I'm hitting low and right. So, 1/16th of an inch at a time I adjust my rest left in hopes of getting the POI close. Negative, Ghost Rider. I get to a point where the broadhead and field point are maybe 2" apart, and they start moving to the left in even incriments. They stay 2 inches apart, but keep going left. [:@]I tried four different broadheads, all with similar results. With the Limbdriver I wasn't getting the vertical adjustment I needed anyway, so I did something drastic.

I installed a Whisker Biscuit.

Same crap, different rest. Can NOT get the broadheads and field points close enough.

So, I dida little digging on AT last night with the help of Bols, and he came across a thread on tuning Binary cams. So I read, then drove to work to use the EZ Press. I retarded my cams in hopes of getting things better in sync. I do all the twisting/un-twisting necessary to get everything in spec.I re-paper tune and drive home.

Saaame crap. [:@]At this point I was about ready to throw my bow into the street and drive over it. Maybe I was spoiled with my Allegiance. I had absolutely zero issue getting my broadheads and field points to hit the same.

So, lets recap what I tried today;

Two rests:
Limbdriver
Whisker Biscuit

Four broadheads:
G5 Striker
Shuttle-T
Slick Trick
Magnus Stinger

Took the bow to work and worked with my cam timing.

Paper tuned twice.

Walkback tuned once.

Finally I gave up and sighted in for my broadheads. I like shooting daily, but I guess at this point I'll settle for shooting my broadheads once or twice a day and calling it good. I'm driving tacks with JUST broadheads out to 40 (as thatsall the range I have access to here at home.)Anyone see anything I missed? I'm not messing with it any more until after I get back on the 22nd, but I'm open to suggestions. This damn thing is driving me nuts. I'm not nearly as confident with it as I should be.
