I need Some Tuning Help. (please help)
 

I just went and bought 12 Carbon Express Maxima Hunter 350's. Im shooting a Hoyt Vulcan, 60-70# limbs, QAD fall away rest, Blazers, Wraps, 100 grain tip, string loop with a relese, all that said, What poundage would I get my peak performance out of the arrows? I have a 29" draw and I think the arrows are 29" also So I can get my BH past my riser.

Thanks again.

Ryan.

You're just gonna have to shoot it and see how your arrows react at different poundages. I don't know of a "formula".

My '07 Ally LOVED 66#'s.....and didn't like 71#'s, much. It took shooting it a LOT to figure this out.

Good luck.

your '07 Ally wont even go up too 66lbs anymore.....[:@]
I have the limbs bottomed out at 65lbs. according to one scale, but I know what 70 feels like and it aint no where close to that feeling. Something in the twists of the strings I think... they tinkered with the cables and strings so much to get the cable to seat in the cam groove I think they have something pretty "off"

I really need a pro shop that knows what they are doing....:eek:

Ryan,
Typically bows perform best near or at the peak poundage. Really depends what poundage is best for you! Figure out what is most comfortable and accurate and you can make almost any arrow fly, with some work.

The tests I use is either bare shaft or paper testing. I preffer the bare shaft method. Hopefully, this helps. Any good archery shop should be able to assist you in tunning it propperly. But after you get you field tips flying well, you should broadhead tune as well. If you do not have any good shops in the area or someone to help, send me a PM and I'll try to help you out. Especially if you fly fish!!! No just joking. Good luck

I think a LOT of the issues with "performance" at peak poundage have been addressed by the mfr's, today....and that it's no longer the issue it used to be (If everyhting I experience, read, etc... is correct). To me....there's difference between "optimal performance" (which would be hard to argue against.....because if your bow is max'd out....it's going to be faster) and where your bow "wants" to be shot (or likes to be shot).

To find this.....you're going to have to go through all the steps td told you at each poundage you wish to experiment at. That's all I was saying in my response. You're going to have to log some serious shooting......or simply accept that you're "OK" with how it's performing at a certain poundage. Either way....you won't know until you try it (at different poundages).

Good luck.
