Could possibly be yoru strings are streatching or settling in. Have you checked your wieght out? BH's that far to the left is astiff condition.
I have not yet checked my DW out recently. Could you explain a little more what you mean by "a stiff condition?" Are you refering to spine or other? Thanks.
Yep, when BH tuning if you can't get out a left condition, your arrows are stiff. Most guys just up thier wieght. But if you have new strings, your cable could have settled in some. And lost some poundage
Ok, I guess I can understand that. Is it common for strings to suddenly settle and lose some poundage? Just a bit frustrating that with my limited time I had the easton 400's with crossfires flying and hitting very well and then unexpectently hitting left.
I guess I will just have to check weight. So would you put a few twists in the string if poundage has dropped in order to get the weight back, as the limb are tighted down all the way?
Remember, take twistsout of a string to increase poundage, and put twists in the cable to increse poundage.
I would first check the poundage. Its your cable maybe.
These days with these strings, I notice its rare for a cable to settle in and lose more than pound of wieght. But on one bow I have I put FF on it, and it will lose wieght over time.
I appreciate your feedback, as I am still very much a newb in regards to tuning and such. Come to remember, I did end up having, I believe two twists, or a twist and a half according to the guy at Sportsmans Warehouse put on about 250 or so shots ago, as my peep was rotating after every shot or two and it ended up helping to all but eliminate the rotation.Could this be a part of it, or just me speculating?
