Default Bow update

Well, after getting WWAG's most excellent press and finally getting around to working on my bow, it's somewhere I don't think it's ever been since I owned it- In spec

Everything is dead on right now. It's amazing how the FDC feels different, holding characteristics, etc. It needs a serious re-tune, as my nocking point is now almost 1/2" off, but things are looking up. Once re-tuned, I'll set the chrony up to see what if anything I gained/lost. During this process, I'll hopefully be able to get a good feel for what the NVs are doing for it.

On to round #2...

Isn't it nice to be able to tinker with your setup until you are entirely happy with it? I know I would feel very frustrated if I was not able to do this as well.

Let us know how it goes.

What did you do to have your nocking point change by 1/2"? Is that from string/cable twisting?

Yes

My ATA was off 1/2" and my brace by almost as much. Remember, the "proshop" yahoos had me seriously out of whack...

Like stepping into a whole new world, or something like that.

Hope you are having fun, and the bow is all you want it to be when you finish.
