Default RE: low poundage causing trouble

bows consistently shoot the best when they are at their maximum poundage, I suppose due to less free play in movement. in other words, ifa 50-60, and a 60-70 were both set at 60, the 50-60 would likely shoot more consistently and tune easier. So in your case, upping the weight probably helped the accuracy.

All these issues with your bow is why you need to come here when you want to buy a new one. I'll make sure you get what you want, get it tuned right,and my dealer is top notch.
I'm sure you're dealer is way better than the guys trying to sell bows over here.
example; a friend of mine bought a Guardian in Testarossa finish and every three arrows he shot, one of'm lost their bottum vane. When you cocked an arrow, the tip was about 1" 1/2 left of the nose of his stabilizer. I told him to change the position of his rest to get center shot. he told me he couldn't because it was screwed as far out as possible.
My friend then decided to go back where he bought the bow. The next day he came back and all the guy at the shop did was change the fork of the rest to a swallow's tail and said that the problem was solved. My friend didn't shoot one arrow straight but his arrows kept their vanes........

Dave, I'm still calculating mate.....if I can find a cheap returnflight over for less than 500 euro's, I'm there dude .

I can buy the 101st for around 700 euro's in Belgium, that 1050 dollars.
Buying one in the states will cost me about 500 euro's.
So in order to get my money's worth, I need to buy two bows and set up.
So I need to start eating sandwiches instead of steak......
