Default RE: Bare shaft tuning

W A Shooter:

Which '02 Bowtech do you have? I had an '01 Pro 38 Dual Cam which I am thinking I never should have sold. You are right that the grips were not very good. I covered the grip area of the bare riser with fleece material, like moleskin, only black. That Pro 38 was the most solid, best shooting bow I have owned to date. I replaced it with a 2003 Pro 40 Wheely. I really like the draw and grip, and lighter weight of the newer bow better, but I think the older one was more stable and had less noise, vibration, etc. and shot better for me, at least so far. I'm sure I had to set my rest just outside of the center of the grip to get the bow tuned right. With the Wheely, the grip and centershot are not even close to lined up, with center shot (measured at the limbs) way outside of grip center.

I would really like to have a bow with the older, heavier, straighter riser, and those smooth "wheels" of the Wheely. Oh well, I can dream.
