tuning problem
 

ok here is my problem my hoyt razortec is shooting good for me but in order for it to hit where i was aiming i had to move the pin way left so the pin isnt barried it is way left of center the guy i talked to at a pro shot said this shouldent be.. he said if that is the case i must have a torking problem which i dont.. so i was wondering what else could cause this? i am shooting a hoyt razortec hha optimizer sight. trophy taker shakey hunter rest gold tip 55 75s shooting 55 pounds at a 27 1/2 in draw with a string loop. do any of you have any suggestions? does it really matter that the pin isnt barried.. by barried i mean if i line the sring up with the tip of the arrow my pin is way to the left... thanks..

Pup.

How are you hold the bow.
Do you have a relaxed grip with your knuckles at 45 degrees away from the riser?

RE: tuning problem
 

You might be getting too much of your face against the string which would cause it to shoot to the left further than normal for a right handed shooter. Try changing your anchor so just the tip of your nose lightly touches the string at full draw.

RE: tuning problem
 

i would go with bow-fantic, i shoot right handed and look on the right side of the string, with a knot touching my nose. if you shooting a peep the y do make some that mount on the side.

RE: tuning problem
 

Have you tried adjusting your rest to the right?

RE: tuning problem
 

It is one of these:

You are applying torque to the riser

As Bowfanatic said you are pressing to hard into your face

Your aiming eye is too far left of string

your rest is too far left

your spine is stiff (and it might be)

you are canting the bow when you shoot.

you are getting some major fletch contact

Are the arrows flyimg well?

RE: tuning problem
 

I' m no expert, but it seems the only thing not mentioned was that your center shot could be off. I had similiar tuning issues with my Magnatec, fairly decent shooting but arrows with poor attitude at the target. I could not meet the tuning rules and make it shoot well, especially the rule of lining up the string, pin and arrow. I took it to three shops before the third caught it. There are two kinds of tools to check this, make sure they use both. I had to send it back to Hoyt and they replaced the risers for free, it shoots great now.

Hope this helps

RE: tuning problem
 

try a 35/55 goldtip more than likely your to stiff on spine. I' m shooting a 28" 35/55 at 60# with a 29" draw and 100 grain point and tuned out perfect.

RE: tuning problem
 

i have a relaxed grip. i am shooting a thumb style release my anchor is nuckles on my cheeck bone and sting on the tip of my nose. i tried shooting the 3555s they shot the same i am using a peep. i might be getting fletching contact but the arrows are grouping good. thanks for the help so fare.

RE: tuning problem
 

Pup, i am shooting a 35/55 goldtip with 85 grn.point, 4" feathers 27" long, out of my razortec, they shoot great.
That is at 58# , 27.5 draw. without a loop.

RE: tuning problem
 

I think it has been pretty well covered, but just out of curiosity, are the cables between the tuning marks, or has one of them gotten out of the marks?

RE: tuning problem
 

one end is dead center in the marks and the other is of to the side a little but both are between the marks.. i shot it through paper today. i got bullet holes. i powder tuned it no fletching contact. i shot it with some diffrent arrows.. gold tip 3555s,carbon express terminator hunter 4560s,easton 2117,and easton 2315 everyone had the same point of impact side to side. i also shot with my normal arrows and payed real close attention to the bubble and my bow is level when i shoot. and i am shooting open handed and with how small the grip is on this bow there is no way i am torking it.. so i dont know what it is.

RE: tuning problem
 

also it is just barley touching my face i tried some diffrent snchore point and it didnt change the side to side.

RE: tuning problem
 

Someone once said there' s no such thing as a stupid question , so here goes:D
Do you have a sight that has the windage adjustment by moving the sight pin only? The majority of the new sights allow you to move the entire bracket for windage adjustments while leaving the sight pin centered in the pin guard. If you dont have that style I' d suggest getting one.

RE: tuning problem
 

Move your rest to the right.

RE: tuning problem
 

Another stupid question: If you shoot with both eyes open like you should, have you checked your eye dominance? Sounds like you could be shooting right handed, but sighting with your left eye. Try closing your left eye and see what happens.

RE: tuning problem
 

im not sure what you mean bowfanatic. i am useing a one pin ajustable sight.

i am right eye dominate but i will try what you are saying .. my center shot is on.

RE: tuning problem
 

Pup,

Measure your centershot and tillers and get back to me.

RE: tuning problem
 

if cenetr shot is what i think it is i am getting 3/4 in does that sound right im not sure what the tiller is refrech my memory. thanks for all the help so fare.

RE: tuning problem
 

My centershot measures 3/4 in. The tiller measures 8 5/8 top and bottom.
Brace height measures 7 3/16.
