Im thinking about ordering an AM with the z3 cams as well before hunting season. Hoyt says about 6-7fps faster and a smoother draw. Sounds like a winner to me

I doubt at your draw length you will notice much speed increase but those of us that are shooting a couple under 30".we SHOULD see a speed increase.

LOL Jeff- while the arrows did not help the sitch, as stated the real problem is ME. ME ME ME.
Derek-are you shooting a Limb driver on your AM35??? I'm still trying to find out WTH is going on with mine cos frankly I'd rather be using the LD vs the TT. I'm tempted to throw it back on- a thread I put up on AT (where 5 bazillion people are shooting AMs and LDs) has yielded basically no advice [:@]

Jeff, have you tried moving the Limb Driver limb anchor to a different location? I'd recommend to move the anchor as close to the cam as possible and stiffen up the spring so it will support the full weight of your arrow at brace if it won't now.

IDK if I'll do it/get around to it this week, but I would like to get that LD working on this bow! I LOVE the rest.

Jeff,
My issue was similar with the Whammy. My old rest on this bow worked very well and with very little effort on my part, I could place arrows just about anywhere I wanted. Enter the Whammy and with its quirks, had me shooting very bad groups and my confidence went in the dumper. Since setting up and tuning the LD, I've been way better, to a point where I am almost "too confident" in my shots.
The other night at the shop, a guy stopped me, hung a ping pong ball on the target and told me to shoot at it. 3 of 3 drilled it. Like you, I have to work hard to shoot and or continue to shoot well. Guess that's what makes it so much fun or frustrating.

I think I do Russ-- I had brought it by the shop to show them (and compare to that new TR one) and I cannot remember if the tech had borrowed it to tinker with or not-will have to double check.
BTW- I no longer have the "cable" yours came with? What would be a good substitute? ActaullY I guess I could use the LImbdriver split limb attachment and just run it to your rest, no? I can't recall if the hookup for the cable at the rest will accomadate something as big as the loop rope.
Muzz- after a bit, I'm going to try the LD again, using Russ' tips- But first I'm going to try some tricks I learned from Dave Cousins- it made a couple other "finicky" bows I had turn into real shooters in the past.
