Fuse WB help please !!!
 
ok, I finally got my new Fuse WB and was ready to install it.
It doesn't fit !!! No use emailing Fuse, they only have a telephone number on their website.....
I ordered a LH WB for my tomkat and I have to place the arm holding the WB inside out if I want to have the hole at the same higth as my arrows....Or I can turn the WB upside down with the loadingspace pointing downward.
I'm going to post some pics.
Anyone had this problem or am I not seeing something ?

here are the pics;

that's what I'm thinking !!!
d****d, I bought it without having my bow with me at the time, that means I need to drive all the way back to the shop !!!

It looks to me like you have it mounted in the front of your riser. The WB goes in the back of the riser shelf. Unless I am blind in one eye and deaf in the other, it sure looks like you have it mounted wrong.

Dude, it looks like you mounted it in front of the riser!!!

Yes you have it mounted wrong. You want the arrowhead bracket to extend back toward you. Just flip it around and adjust your biscuit so that the opening is on top and to the right. Make sure that the arrow sits on top of those stiffer black bristles. Good luck.

well, I mounted it just like the WB that was on the tomkat when I bought it, it came out of the box with the WB mounted in front of the riser...

I'm gonna try and mount it right now

thx dudes

The way it's mounted in your pic you could easily draw back all the way through that WB. If you have a broadhead on there you could seriously hurt yourself

I think it is funny that your Tomkat arrived with it on backwards. If you switch it around you should be fine. Then go back to your Tomkat and turn that one around also!

RE: Fuse WB help please !!!
 
problem solved

thx

I really feel a bit stupid, but like I said, the tomkat I bought was a package deal and the WB was mounted in front of the riser.
There's lots of pics on my flickr account with me and the bow and even some close ups, NOBODY mentioned it to me....
I've been having trouble tuning my bow as well, I think I know why now !!!


Muchas graçias mi amigos

Frank,

that really explains why it didn't work right.

RE: Fuse WB help please !!!
 
Damn, you're absolutely right, it's too late to go shoot some arrows and see how they fly now,but it's almost weekend, so

I am going to send an email to bowtech and to the shop where I bought it, nobody said a word, not even the shop where I buy my arrows and got my peep set on the string.....not one pro saw or said anything.
So now you know why I'm so grateful I have you and the rest of the guys on the forum.....

Fairly amazing the shop didn't see it while they were installing anything on your bow.
Now that I think about it, i'm wondering why your arrows didnt fall through the rest at full draw.

There is no way they didn`t see that.
They had to see that crazy set up.
I think someone was having some fun with you(imo)

RE: Fuse WB help please !!!
 
I am pretty sure that I have looked at all your photo's and I never noticed it. But I am positive I would have if I had the bow in front of me. I find it extremetly hard to believe that no one noticed it. I have been to stores though when they take brand new bows out of the box and have on many occasions noticed things on wrong so that didn't surprise me.

As for the arrows falling through. You can probably take another 2" off all of them now if you want since you are moving your rest back.

I am glad you posted the pictures and also that I could see the problem. I am happy that you can get your setup corrected and I'll bet it improves your shooting. By the way, what do you hunt in Belgium?

No wonder it wouldn't tune???:eek::eek: Oh well common mistake. Good thing you got it fixed, I bet you will have better groups now. Good Luck.

That's just crazy Frank! I thought Belgium was a bit backwards but that's just ridiculous!;):D Glad you got her straightened out.[8D]

RE: Fuse WB help please !!!
 
Man I feel like such a dumb ass right now !!!:)
The WB wasn't mounted backwards on my tomkat, I was so excited about my new Fuse WB that I marked the position of the arrow in front of my riser on a ruler, that's why I mounted the Fuse WB in front and that's why I thought the old one was too.....

from now on I'll shut my piehole before I go blaming companies and shop owners.....( well, the shop owner here's not really that bright, I must add )

And kodiak, I believe we're right behind you guys when it comes to being backwards......;)

Shame on me, I know...
I'm still very pleased with the Fuse WB, without shooting, I already noticed some real noice reduction when drawing an arrow.

and JD, we don't hunt nothing with a bow around here....but there's plenty to hunt......
