How much of a difference (between top and bottom tiller measurements) would be considered acceptable? I checked my Patriot today using a bow square and found that the bottom measurement was 1/8th longer than the top. Would that be something to worry about?
You may remember when we got our Patriot 04 SC a couple of months ago because we complained about the speed to Bowtech, & posted the Bowtech letters on this Forum. The speed did not appear to be as advertised.
At that time I called them several times & ask about the set-up because we thought a new Bow should shoot, set-up as they say is should be set-up, & with about the add speed more or less.
One of the things the Tech said is the tiller is correct when both limbs are jacked up all the way. We have it down now to change the 60 lbs limbs to 70s so it cannot be measured & I do not remember the measurement.
We even took their recommendation on things like the release and arrow rest(fall-away), because the first thing we wished to know was, if set up in this way was it worth the money we paid. The verdict is still out ????
The 70 lbs limbs will match the IBO adds.
But to me, a new bow should shoot almost as advertised & set up the way the company says is most right for that bow, otherwise take it back, exchange the bow or the limbs.
