Default I took your advice

and downloaded that Easton Archery bow tuning pamphlet and after reading the entire thing, I actually fine tuned my bow.

I was one of the many that shy'd away from fixed broadheads because I never seemed to be able to get them to fly straight. Well, after spending a little time with the old bow, I can now say that my bow is fixed broadhead tuned.

I did everything from start this time and did everything myself -put a new Vapor Trail string on the bow, placed the peep sight and vibration dampners, adjusted the rest, fletched some new Easton Axis ST arrows...etc.

I would read the posts on here about centering the arrow and I always noticed that my arrow rest and arrow seemed to end up to the left of center.All this timeI thought it was my bow.

I bought some Slick Tricks last year and was disappointed when they kept hitting lower than my field points - little did I know that it would be due to my knock point being too high.

After fine tuning the bow according to that manual, I can now say that my bow is tuned oerfectly and out to 40 yds, my Slick tricks are hitting exactly where my field points are hitting. There's nothing like having the confidence of knowing the devestating Slick Tricks will hit exactly where I aim.

You guys are very knowledgeable. Thanks for the advice.

The only thing that's kinda 'wrong' with my bow is that Vapor Trail sent me the orange and black string that I ordered, but sent a green and tan cable so it's not the most attractive setup. No big deal though.

I'M SHOOTING BULLETS!!

Sounds great!

How in the heck didVT mess up and send you two different color schemes? Did you order them at seperate times?

If not, I'd be fireing off an e-mail to get it right. No use paying money for one thing and receiving another....

No, I called and ordered both at the same time.

It's not a problem though.

I put the string on my old Mathews Q2. After removing the string that was on the bow (2 year old zebra string), I found that it had stretched almost 2 inches.

Maybe not a big deal, just hard to fathom how getting the colors wrong before stuffing them in the envelope or package could have occurred.
I could see the wrong colors on the whole order, but a mismatched set is just hard for me to comprehend.

But then again I seem to expect a lot when money is involved nowadays.

Glad to hear it worked out on another bow for ya.
