I thought of you when I was shooting my Patriot at the shop the other day. Man I know why you fell in love with that Bowtech.

Anyways,

A guy walks in and says he wants to sell his Extreme VFT because it shoots like crap and is too hard to pull. The shop owner sits him down and solves all his problems by simply putting a Simms teflon slide on for him......he was pulling smooth and shooting even smoother within minutes.

You would have had yourself a great deal if you had been there. He wanted to sell the bow, accessories and all for $300 [] IT IS BRAND NEW!!! What a dork.

It was also nice to see the shop owner NOT just jump at the chance to make a quick buck and buy it from him only to sell it for double that in 2 days. He took the high road and made less then $20.........but he also probably gained a customer for life.

Good guy.

Hey atlasman,

Yep, I had my bow all fixed up and it is shooting sweet again. I am not sure why my tech guy did, but, he got it back to normal. I had the BowTech out yesterday and was shooting my broadheads! At 15 yards I am hitting about 1" high, 23 yards I am dead on, and at 30 yards I am about 1" low! I was putting the Rocky MT Gator right in the 1" circle every time. I am taking my other two pins off before season starts as this year, 30 yards is the furthest shot I will take!

Boy, that would have been a deal though. I could have picked up a EX VFT and still kept the MightyMite!! O well, it is great that the shop owner helped the guy out. The first thing my best friend did with his EX VFT and I did with my MightyMite was put on the Simms cable slides. They really help out!

I can' t put one on my Pat because the NAP rest uses the cable slide as a drop.

Oh well.

Hey buck, didn' t want to start a new thread about it, but am just busting at the seems wanting to tell someone.

I FINALLY got my Mighty Mite dialed in perfectly. A little more creep would be nice, but besides that-

I was fighting my whisker biscuit rest and gave up and put the trophy taker back on, What a difference!! Not that I dislike the wb, I still have it on 2 other bows. I just couldn' t make the moves I needed to make with my nocking point without experienceing a hard fletching contact on the supprt bar. I could shoot f/p' s and mechanicals great out to 30 yards, but fixed blades were a mess. Even the slick tricks weren' t working for me.

So I put the shaky hunter back on, made some adjustments, fletched up some helical arrows and wolla- muzzy 100 3 bladers, titan 100 4 bladers, slick tricks, mechanicals- whatever you want well inside of 2" at 30 yards. It' s almost like majic!!

I also picked up some major speed (well all things considered). I refletched my arrows with duravanes which knocked 12 grains off the rear of each arrow and also lowered my bottom string leech all the way to the serving. I placed a small black nock (don' t know where I got it) directly above the string leech to hold it down.

With these two changes I went from 266 to 272!! consistently!!
That' s at 65#(never touched the limb bolts) with a 426 grain arrow!! for a 70 ft/lb ke result. This was with the WB still on.

When I removed the wb and installed the TT I served it into the cable and shot through the chrony after lining everything out, still 272fps (I figured I' d pick up some more, but oh well).

I' m a Real happy camper now, so happy I think I just bought another Bowtech!!

(still waiting to see if the deal pans out, it' s a lower end bow and might get added to my collection, or sold to a friend in need)


Oh ya, and the simms cable slide is a must. I tried a alpine glide slide and it was even smoother, but the rubber housing slowly sltretched and allowed for cable to fletching contact that was non-existant before it stretched.

Ahh, now I feel better[:-].
Good hunting to ya!!

HOLY CRAP Dave,

I entirely forgot about finding my center shot for you! Glad that everything turned out good though. My bow is still shooting great, and I have been putting alot of shots through it again. This baby is screaming. I bumped it back up to around 67#, with a 30" draw, and 65% let-off. I am shooting a 385 grain arrow. I am not sure of the speed, but, I know that it is SCREAMING!!!!!!!

The only thing I can tell you is that the string leech' s probablly won' t last long. They work amazingly well to reduce noise, but, that bow is so fast and has so much power to it, that it will do a number on the string leech' s.

I am just ITCHING for a chance to get out there and hunt with the MightyMite!!!!! Seeing all these big bucks and having the bow shooting perfectly again, wow, it has me pumped up! Now, all I have to do is wait till Oct. 4th, have that big 12 point come in to me, and then just let the MightyMite send a Rocky MT Gator tipped PSE Carbon Force Dominator 300 right through that bucks boiler room!!!!!!!

Which other BowTech are you thinking of getting? The TomKat or the Stalker? I can assure you that these " lower end" bows aren' t what I would call a low end bow. The stalker is a GREAT little bow, but, I wish the grip was wooden, and the TomKat, well, where else can you get all the goodies and performance of that bow, for the price?

I' m getting a used 60# stalker w/ infinity cam, new strings and cables. (no grip, it was replaced with simms wrap)
All 3 of my current bows are 70# models backed off some and I always wanted a 60#er so I could just max and forget about it. It was such a good deal I couldn' t pass it up. I don' t want to jinks it, but lets just say the sights on my mighty mite cost more than the agreed on price!! When I have it in my hands I' ll fill you in on the amount spent.

MM speed- I accidentally shot one of my arrows through the chrony w/out the 100 grain f/p and my it read 305!!

Yeah, the string leech' s won' t last long, so far the bottom shows no wear and the top has ripped an arm, but they do their job too well for me not to use them. I ordered the new super duper model today. They are slimmer and supposed to last longer.

I' m still undecided on what head to use this year, with all heads tested performing so well the sky is the limit.
I' m tempted to use my marden mini-max' s 3' s, but am afraid to wound an animal trying them out. I might pick up some muzzy phantoms from wally wold the next time I head to the lease, But then again I already have 5 titans with the same cutting diameter, yeah they might explode on the other side, but I really don' t care once they' ve passed through.
Then there' s the muzzy 1003 & 4 blades, sidewinders, shockwaves, snypers and slick tricks.
I' ve bought too many and now have to decide.

My quiver will include some cut on contact for deer or pigs and some mechanicals for deer or smaller pigs only.
