bowtech s/c timeing
 

does bowtech have marks on it s cam like some others to show where best performance is ?

RE: bowtech s/c timeing
 

The Mighty Mite and Patriot singles I have owned did have timing markes on them as well as both the Pro38' s I have had and my brothers new Patriot dually has them as well. They put them on with what looks like a magic marker. Kind of hard to see but it is there. Also there owners manual had a measurement you take from a bolt on the cam to limb on the singles to check timing or posiotion.

Are the 2003 owners manuals available yet?

The 2003 VFT has timing marks on the cam, as does the 2002 Extreme Solo. They are little black majic marker type lines that can be seen in the right light.

My 2003 VFT came with a note that the 03 Owner' s Manuals are not available yet due to printing issues.

RE: bowtech s/c timeing
 

Thanks for the info formula1.

Did anyone get a note with thier bow saying someof the target models would not be available yet due to issues with suppy and demand[:o];)?

Welcome to the board formula1. I hope you like it here!

RE: bowtech s/c timeing
 

I am still waiting on my owners manual . So can someone tell me how these marker marks should line up

RE: bowtech s/c timeing
 

The marker marks on the cam so you have one mark on both sides of the limb

The 2003 owners manuals aren' t quite ready.

If anyone needs to know the timing measurments for their bow, email me with the bow model, model year and brace height if it was offered in two options.

I' ll get you the measurments ASAP.

Regards, Pat

ChiefHeadHunter:

I am a new member, but a long time reader of the forum. It' s one of the ways I did research for my recent bow purchase. I enjoy the forum, but as with any forum, you have all kinds of folks on board. But it doesn' t take you long to figure out those who are sensible in their approach.

I was as PSE owner and fan until I looked at Bowtech. I must credit my son with the interest in Bowtech as he has an 02' Extreme Solo. After much testing (PSE, Mathews,Hoyt,Bowtech,Fred Bear), I settled on the 03' Extreme VFT. In the end it was between a Hoyt Razortec and two Bowtechs (the VFT and the Pat DC). I thought I was going to buy the Pat DC, but chose the VFT. I shot all three side-by-side. For me, I just thought the VFT was a better fit for hunting(I don' t target shoot yet). I didn' t choose the Pat DC because of the short valley. It just seemed to me that in hunting situations (strange angles, etc.), the short valley could be an issue. I really liked the Razortec, too, but I was just as comfortable with the feel of the VFT, and it was considerably faster. So I now am the proud owner of a 70 lb./29" Extreme VFT (306 fps at 367 grains)

I was lucky enough to be able to try a VFT this week and I do believe you have decided on a fine piece of equipment. I expected a somewhat less shootable bow than it is and it was quiet, stable, light, and sexy all at the same time :). I share your feelings about the valley and I' d also say that the letoff might add to those concerns. I, on the other hand, hope to use the lower letoff and higher holding weight at a lower draw weight to my advantage as my primary target bow; once I' m fully adjusted to it that is;). I' ll still be hunting with 83% letoff though[:-].

I' d say 76 ft lbs of energy will bring home the bacon for you. And I notice you said that you don' t target shoot yet; whatcha waitin for?

You just made my day!

I' ve never ever heard anybody say their bow was sexy... I like it...It sounds like something I would say... :D

RE: bowtech s/c timeing
 

Bowtech shooter,

Have you seen the multi black in person yet? Since we think alike I' d like to know your impression of it is. I' m thinking it is going to be ultra-sexy:D.

The wait is killing me:(.

RE: bowtech s/c timeing
 

Yes I have...And it is ultra sexy...LOL...

It' s the most popular color being ordered so far this year.

I have a 2002 BK2 that was a sample of the same varigated pattern only in Blue/Black and the Black/Pewter looks better than mine. [:' (]...LOL...

Hey Chiefheadhunter:

I will be doing some local 3D' s as soon as I get comfortable with the new VFT and I get my rest I ordered for it. Right now, I don' t have anything but a quick tune 1000 on it and I' m waiting for a CAMO GKF Mirage to come in. I' m shooting it anyway to get the feel of it and to sharpen up my form. This is about 50 fps faster than my PSE, so it does take practice. That' s why I bought it way before hunting season...to be sure I am proficient with it when the time comes.

Yes, 76 ft-lbs KE is sufficient, about 6 ft-lbs more than my previous setup. But I still have a momentum loss, so I just might up the arrow weight a little for hunting. We' ll see in time!!

Good hunting and good shooting!!
