RE: 3 questions about my bow???
 

sorry havnt been able to post, i have been at school, my poundage is as low as it goes. i dont have it maxed. So what do i have to do to get it fixed??? i am alittle confused, would i just have to have the nock pointmoved up. oris it this complicated tiller thing???

RE: 3 questions about my bow???
 

Yep.

Doesn't matter what your poundage is, it can still be out of tiller. Simple thing to do. Get a tape measure. Stretch a string tight across the axles and measure from the limbs at each end of the riser to the string. If the nock point is as low as it looks in the pic, I'm pretty sure it will measure closer on top than the bottom. If so, back off on the top limb bolt, tighten the bottom limb bolt or both. Keep at it until you get the measurement equal.

I go a good bit further with my tiller adjustments, as I describe in the thread pinned at the top of the forum. But whether you decide to go that far or not, then at the very least, your tiller should always be adjusted to measure the same at each end of the riser before any other tuning is ever done.

ok i will try that.

I just measured my bows axle to axle and it should be 30" and it is 30.25" is there a problem with that???

And i just tried letting off alittle on the top and it didnt do anything, and i tried putting alittle more on the bottom and it still didnt do anything.

A quarter inch off in axle to axle isn't anything to worry about. When it gets to about 3/4" to an inch, it needs adjustment.

If you've got your weight backed way off, it might take a full turn or more to get the tiller measurements to move. In fact, it sort of worries me when you say the draw weight is at minimum. Don't take any more off the top limb. I don't know how much more bolt you've got in that hole and it really gets exciting when you back a limb bolt clean out of the riser. [:-]

Make your adjustments with the bottom limb bolt. It will likely raise your draw weight a couple of pounds, but it's better than taking the bow to the shop to have it put back together.

^ lol i know i thought about that after i started doing it and put it back, i though holy crap what if this things shoots out at me:Di am no bow tech by anymeans so when i get new arrows in a week or so i am just gonna let them do it, i might try the bottom one, i will problay just wait, thanks arthur P.and everyone else for the help.

RE: 3 questions about my bow???
 

Well i tightend the bottom one and it got worse[:@]so i figured what the heck and tighted the top one and i think i got the tiller evend out now, here is the new pick, i asked my mom and she thinks the nock point might be alittle high now instead of low. here is the pick.
