First pic shows how out of alignment my sight is with my rest. Second pic shows felt wear on right prong of my drop away. Bow shoots excellent groups with BHs and field points and gets good paper tears. What do the gurus think?

I think it's most likely you have a considerable amount of hand torque built into your form. However, if you get good paper tuning results and good groups with bothFP's and BH's, it's at leastconsistent on each shot. It's something you couldeliminate with a good coach.

How about this. I have my bow level, vertically. I nock an arrow and raise the rest all the way up. The arrow is not level horizontally. The tip of the arrow is low. This isn't right is it?

Roskoe

On a lot of bows, the optimum arrow position will be a little nock high (tip low) relative to the bow. Usually only 3/16" or so. Is yours a lot more than this?

loogout1

From the nock to where the rest supports the arrow, it looks to be about 3/16s or so. Thanks for the help, I'm just bored and tinkering around. I'm just trying to figure out this fletching clearance thing, if its a problem or not, or if its me, like Arthurp said.

It could be hand torque as mentioned, but it also could be you are a little stiff on spine

Have you walkback tuned? Level on the nock point is the best place to start and with my Binary Cam bows it never varies much. Best way to get it exact is Bare shaft tuning.

I never walk back tuned, I'm definitely going to try that out this spring though. I was just checking vane clearance and am pretty sure I have enough to shoot cock down(been shooting the opposite). As soon as I unload these groceries my wife just came home with, I'm gonna try it out.

As far as spine goes, I'm shooting a '05 allegiance at 70lbs, 27"dl, ACC 3-49, 390 at 27 5/8". Sounds right no?

IMHO I don't think cock down would be the best choice for your setup, but you can always try

The Binary cams tend to like a softer spine in my experience, and while 3-49's are close and shouldn't cause you a problem in tuning. I would probably have tried a 3-39. I shot 27.5"CX Maxima 250's out of my 70# Allegiance and those things flew awesome.
