Bow tweaking...
Let's say you are presented with a bow. Limb bolts are fully seated, cam is dead on proper timing orientation. However, the ATA is 5/16" too long and the BH is 1/4" too short.
What would you do to bring everything back in spec? |
RE: Bow tweaking...
Put 6 twists in the string and 4 twists in the cable............
remeasure:) repeat;) |
RE: Bow tweaking...
Call BT and tell them to get their SH!T straight:D (for RA & SA, just so you know where I stand ;) )
|
RE: Bow tweaking...
I'd remove the string and cable to measure them to see where/why the discrepency. Are they up to spec?
And I assume you're talking about a single cam..... |
RE: Bow tweaking...
Rack, cable controls ATA and Brace, string cam rotation?
DC, forgot to disclaim, it's not a Bowtech :) Todd, that's what I'm inclined to do. Makes sense that if the cable and string are twisted back to spec measurement then reinstalled, you can bypass Rack's hair pulling out adventure :) Yes, it's a single cam, Diamond Hornet, to be exact :) |
RE: Bow tweaking...
Your pickle sounds easier to jar than mine.
I have a 36" bow (mathews z-light) which measures 37" ata. It's brace is supposed to be 6 1/2" and measures 6 5/8". I'm not sure how to get it back to 36", 6.5" bh. Maybe I'd wind up w/ a 36" 7" brace:D! As good as it's shooting I just decided to leave it be. It doesn't get used much anymore anyways. (my back ups- back up) |
RE: Bow tweaking...
Is the bow reaching the max draw weight?
|
RE: Bow tweaking...
If your asking me, no. Mine only reaches 67#'s.
I had my limbs replaced a few years ago and just accepted the lower poundage as the poundage of the limbs I was given. I realized later that the cables had a lot to do with it, but didn't really care to mess with it after that. ( too many other bows to fool with:D, and it was shooting good) |
RE: Bow tweaking...
Walks, Don't know, I'm too cheap to buy a scale to use every now and then... No local shop, so can't use theirs. Guess I could stop by the bait shop and try theirs out :)
Let's assume it doesn't. Then what? |
RE: Bow tweaking...
I'm too cheap to buy a scale to use.... you'll have decent scale for a looooong time. quit being so cheap and buy one.;) |
