Thanks for the help guys. Just so you know it was the Muzzy. As bigbull suggested the muzzy had lowered itself when the increase in weight was made. I have had no experience with this type of rest and have some getting used to. I now know that moving the poundage around also effect the muzzy and tuning of it are required.

Well, I got the bow shooting pretty good. My groups are not as tight as I would have hoped, but will come with practice.

Got the Muzzy tuned, with the mightymite and no contact is being made.


70lbs x 29" draw x 350gr arrow = 290fps average.

I have two brass nocks, all the stuff from the hush kit, and a superball peep on the string.

really? i thought it was slow! I was hoping to get into the 300's. What's weird is the bow is two turns backed off from bottomed out and is reading 70lbs. If I went all the way it's like 78-80. It has more power but I don't need it. Still getting used to it!

Increasing your draw wieghtmight haveslightly changed your nocking position ,try adjusting your nocking point slightly down..I also found a similar problem with my own bow [BowTech Patriot Dually with the MZE rest]this summer ,I'm sure once you adjust your nocking point you'll be back in the running .

Now that you've found that the MZE had lowered itself ,if you had done a paper test you would have figured it out either nock point down or arrow rest up.
