RE: Bowtech...money down the drain
But whats with the 40-some other holes, some are complete 0's. Not to mention the plethra of 6's and 7's..Would have been more impressed with a clean target. The resulting robinhood looks more like happenstance.
However, I do not typically put up a "clean" target when I am group tuning. Those holes were probably in the target for twomonths or more.Len,
Thank you kindly for the tip. Have you found any negatives to switching the cable orientation?

You know, I will Be glad to help you out and cut your losses, I will take that off your hands at a much reduced price, say $50, so you don't hurt anymore innocent arrows.
Had to be the bow, not the shooter
Frank, what you couldn't even get all three arrows in the X on the Vegas face? That bow does stink. Nice shooting.
Oh, and notice how much more "penetration" you got that that Hoyt got in JR 120's post.

I was quite impressed with the penetration actually. At 61 pounds it puts up some impressive numbers.

RE: Bowtech...money down the drain
When I first started shooting about 5 years ago the smack of two arrows together was the sound of success.
But now, all I hear is the cash register printing another receipt....
Nice work!

RE: Bowtech...money down the drain
Frank:
Once you cross the cables below the cable guard, there will be two possible orientations - inside out and outside in. Call me if you want an explanation of that.
One way will give you good clearance between the cables butmay allow the upper cam to touch the cable at the longest DLs. The other way will give you more cam clearance but will allow the cables to touch where they cross. I've noticed no deterioration with either way.
One more thing. You will know when you need a new string and/or cables. The bow is so shock and vibration free that a bad string and/or cables will slowly bring about positives concerning those aspects.
