Getting frustrated with my bow!!
 
I have a Reflex Gamegetter with the whisker biscuit as a rest. When my center shot is right I have about 1/2 inch or less of room from where my arrow sits to the side of the riser. My fletching hits the riser. How the heak am I suppose to help this problem without changing my center shot. Some arrows fly all right and some go off. I shoot with stright flething, I don't know if that matters, but just in case. What should I do?

How old is the bow? Does it have a cut out riser?

How are you measuring center shot?

My bow is just over a year old. I got it last October. I measured the center shot with a laser. The one you put where your rest is and see if it's center all the way from the knocking point to the tip of your arrow. Where it is set now, it is, so my center shot is on.

Paper tune your bow at twenty yards.A center shot tool will get you close,but you need to paper tune it.Center shots are not always true to what a gauge will show you.My current set up is off center for perfect tares at twenty yards.

have the same problem with my bow. I also have The reflex Gamegetter. I was getting fletching contact with my cables. I just turned my nocks so that I shoot with the cock feather out away from the riser. I haven't had a problem since. I also use a whisker biscuit.

Well, i'm thinking about selling it and getting a different bow. I was looking at the Browning F5 Tornado or one of the Fred Bear bows. Leaning more towards the F5.

Do you have the Deluxe Whisker Biscuit?

If you do , make sure you have it mounted on the outside of the riser (duh , just making sure;)) with the WB spacer mounted between the rest bracket and riser.
I'm having a hard time visualizing this because I've set the WB up on Reflex bows before and they normally fall between 11/16"-13/16" from the riser when dead on center shot.

Forget the lazer. Set the center of the arrow 3/4" from the riser and start to paper or walk back tune.

The problem with lazers is that they require a riser that is exactly parallel with the bowstring and most bows aren't that tight.

Chunk all that crap and get yourself a good custom traditional recurve or longbow. Set your nock, shoot off the shelf, use your instincts and all your troubles are gone!
