I was just wondering if this bow has been paper tuned?

no. no shop around here has the equipment to papertune a bow.

RE: String Supressor Problem pics included

I think you need to get that bow paper tuned. You can do it yourself. You don't need a proshop to do it for you. The people on this forum can help you through it I'm sure. I can't remember exactly how to do it myself. I have used the metal frame that holds realtor signs in yards to paper tune before. Just use the frame and tape up some freezer wrap paper to shoot through. Make sure the paper has some tension on it, but not enough to tear it. Then you just have to adjust your rest and or nock on your string.

What brand of arrows are you shooting and what are the numbers on them, the poundage your bow is set at , and how long are the arrow. Also what grain points are you shooting.

as far as my arrows go, they are Super Carbon Magnum Arrows made by Parker. I shoot 100 grain muzzys. i cant find info on these arrows anywhere, so cant tell ya that. my vectrix is set at 29" DL and 61-63#. the arrows are 28 5/8" from tip of nock to the tip of the insert.
thanks for any help.

I would check with a good pro shop about the spine as I've heard of guys getting a new Vectrix the same poundage & draw as their old bowwho had to get arrows spined different than they shot before. Don't know why though.

RE: String Supressor Problem pics included

You stated that the shop used a lazer tuner but doesn't have a paper tuner.:eek:

It has been my experience that you do NOT want to use a centershot lazer tuner to set up a rest on a Hoyt.

If they used a spot-hogg lazer and centered off the cams,you should be fine but if they used the one that bolt to the burger button hole,you will be off,unless Hoyt addressed this for this year.[&:]

I do not believe you could possibly torque the bow enough to cause this,but who knows.

I think the shop is right about moving the suppressor so it is more centered and even moving it inor out a little might help.If your centershot is way off,which I have seen when using lazer tools to set it,it could cause it to jump off also.

I would not worry about going ahead and adjustingit so that it hits more centerd.That shouldn't affect the shot enough to notice.It would definately help you confidence in the bow.

how should i check if it is at centershot if the lazer tuner is worthless in this scenario?

they used one that attached to a hole, not the cams

today while shooting i noticed something weird with the arrow flight. while in flight it looked like the nock was swirling like the arrow was thrown off course or something. hard to describe. was pretty windy tho so it couldve been b/c of the wind. could this be do to it not being at centershot?

Quote:

ok, sounds easy enough, but what should i look for once i shoot through the paper? and at what distance/angle should i shoot through it?

Thanks everyone for help and input, i would be lost forever if it wasnt for yalls help.

RE: String Supressor Problem pics included

TEmbry15, I also would suggest that you paper tune your bow with arrows that don't have any fletching on them if you have any. That way you could tell if you were getting any clearence problems with the biscuit. Good luck!

RE: String Supressor Problem pics included

The wind will definately make your arrows fly different.

Look down the bow from the top with an arrow nocked.If the arrow is centered to slightly outside the stabilizer,you should be Ok but if the arrow looks like it is way outside,you probably need to adjust it in.

The standard measurement for a Hoyt,from the inside of the shelf to the center of the arrow is usually 13/16.You should beRELATIVELY(doesn't have to be exact)close to this.If you are not,I would reccomend moving it.This will require retuning but I believe it to be more than necessary.

This is what makes foc(front of center)so important with your arrows.

RE: String Supressor Problem pics included

TE,
Let me make a suggestion. Check your top cam lean at full draw. I have a Trykon that I had major problems with and it turned to be the idler lean , or top cam in this case. If the vetrix has a FLOATING YOKE as the Trykon check your lean. The top cam needs to be straight up and down at full draw. You may need to have someone look over your shoulder to check it.
IF YOU HAVE A FLOATING YOKE ON THIS BOW AND THE TOP CAM IS CANTED YOU MAY NEED TO SERVE THE YOKE CLOSED. Hoyt pro shops know of this problem if they have a knowledgable person setting up bows.
Once you serve the yoke it's a simple matter of twisting one side or the other to achieve the vertical position at fill draw.
The cam leaning will change the path of the string and proper center shot
upon release and also a corkscrew arrow flight.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE a floating yoke by all means check the cam lean anyway. That might be it.
