RE: arrow jumps when shooting
well i got the bow for xmas shot targets for 6 months moved it nc out in the mountains. and did not shoot but a couple of time that year. then i did not hunt that season. last year i did not shoot as much as should have and have always thought i was jerking the string when i get close to full draw.
I will fix the issue before i hunt with it this year.

Why the heck did you wait till now to fix the problem? Shame on you Tim.[>:] I'm guessing your awfully jerky when drawing your bow back (drawing to many pounds) or like a few others have said nock pinch.

RE: arrow jumps when shooting
it is all good straightarrowny.
I have only had the bow for a few years last year was my first yera hunting.
i had thought of it before but never really knew what it could be. I became a member on here before i got my bow. I think i got on huntingnet.com when i was looking for info on what bow to buy.

That's not what I meant. The fact that he's a life member tells me that he's been around for a while and would have thought of this before. I didn't want to insult his intelligence.
Relax tough guy.

So if your not a life member..insults are o.k.?? Some of us know what we are doing, but do not post 4000 times.

I see you're a life member so you know what your doing, so I don't want to insult you, .

RE: arrow jumps when shooting
is a nock set a little black thing you set your arrow on or is it the gold looking piece . the loop is a d loop that is made of some kind of hard string.
I pulled the bow back a few time with out a arrow it looks like it could be the loop it looks to pull up when i draw back. or it could be the rest looks to jump a bit at near full draw.
I think when i take my arrows to get fletched i will ask the guy to look the bow over
As for weight i know now after pulling back the bow a few times i need to either lower it or shoot alot to build my muscles up

It's one of two things:
1) Your nock set is defined by two areas of serving material on your string (My preferred method). If this is the case....you're going to need to carefully remove some of the serving material to allow your nocks to "float" freely between your two nocking points (servings).
or
2) Your nock set is defined by your D-loop spacing (top to bottom). If this is the case.....the simplest thing to do would be to remove it and tie on a new one. You can do this yourself, if you have the inclination and the know-how, or have someone do it at a shop. What "I" would do is have them serve a small nock set above and below your nocking point that wouldn't allow your D-loop to slide on your string and "pinch" your nock.
Good luck.
guys does this mean i need a new string new loop new nocks. what do i need to solve the issue and not cover it up

LOL.....More we talk the more confused I become.
Do this....Put an arrow on your string. See if there's any room to slide your nock up and down a little (and I mean a little). Now understand that when you're at full draw.....the nocking point (where you're arrow's nestled on your string) IS gonna pinch down (get smaller) a little.
You should be able to tell if it's getting pinched or not by how much "play" you have when its not at full draw, though.
Good luck.
Also....do you have any arrows that have smaller nocks than the ones you're planning on using? You could test this with one of those, too.

It would seem to me it would be evident if the rest was coming up and bumping the arrow up. It would also go right back down onto the rest, pretty quicky (but so might a pinched nock).
Just take it in to a shop. I'm out.

RE: arrow jumps when shooting
another way to check a pinched nock ...is to go out and pick of a set of speed nocks, they are to my limited knowledge the smallest on the market. simply pull your old nock out of one of your carbon arrows and replace with the speed nock....if the problem is fixed when you re-draw then you have you answer = pinched nock. if so, go get a d loop put on at a pro shop....or as GMMAT stated take it to the shop.
