Why not just try a whole different brand of arrow ?? This is a lot of work over the course of a year to get a bow to shoot right.

Ok, fair enough, my 25 years of practical experience says he is fine at 27".

Why are egos so prevalent on these forum????

Archers Advantage has him WAY underspined.I am with BG completely.


I have said it before and I will say it again,I have found OT2 to be less than accurate.
Guys, I have shot .34" spine from 06 allegience at 29.5" draw with a 29" arrow. Perfect performance. Thats 2" longer. AA is way off if it says .4" spine is "WAY" underspined for the guys situation. Thats practical experience.

He said he dropped to 60lbs. Would your AA that you trust so much show that to be a better spine?

TFOX - The rest is a Trophy Taker. I have used a QAD and a WB with identical results. There is a Hostage around here somewhere's that I can try but I don't suspect the rest.

Mikey - Carbon Express 250 Maxima's at 27" produce identical results.

Thanks for everyone's patience. I will post when I shoot the 7595's this morning.

No ego problems with me whatsoever. As I said above, I don't profess to know everything. YOu know that to keep up with this sport there is always something new to learn. My point is, that with many carbon arrows having a range of about 20# getting something that will shoot isn't so much rocket science, or computer science. I've got nothing against computer programs, but as with many things, they aren't always the complete answer. One thing they can never calculate is a person's shooting form, grip torque, etc.

Here again. My experience only tells ME what usually will work for ME. And that's really the only thing I can go on. I do know that if I had a bow for a year and still couldn't get it to shoot well I would have been making some drastic changes a long time ago. I lover limb bolts, though. Most overlooked tuning tool in archery today.

And please, whenever you read my posts do not think I am being confrontational with you or anybody else. All I'm doing is passing on information from my point of view. Now back to the origianl problem

I shot the 7595's at 27", 70 lbs with 27.5 speed mods and laser center. Photo's attached.

I can shoot the same as above with 60 lbs if it will help.

Or, I can make the trek to the bow shop with a chrono if it will help to put this to rest.

Thoughts?

It seems to me that you are relying on your EZE eye to find centershot.

I have a Mission X3, and if you tried to set centershot with a centershot guage, you'd be way off.

I don't know the geometry of your bow, but I do know that YOUR correct centershot setting will be determined by a combination of the bow's geoetry and your form. That's why I rely on the walkback method to establish centershot. Shooting at a point on a vertical line on your target with your 20 yd pin only, at distances of 10, 20, 30 and 40 yds, if your arrows fall in a vertical line, you have foundYOUR centershot.

If you then shoot broadheads and they are impacting left or right of fieldpoints you can tweak your rest accordingly. At this point, assuming your arrows are flying with no visible fishtail or porpoise, I'd say you are all set.

IMO you are unnecessarily concerned with paper tuning.

Yep, good advise.
