Fred:

Welcome aboard. I hope we can help you.

Your problem does sound like it could be torque. The Mathews grips tend to be pretty thick near the bottom in particular. I had a Mathews MQ 1 that had even a fatter grip than the Legacy. I had to "high wrist" grip that bow. If you are not familiar with that term, it means that you bear the backward force of the drawn bow with the web between your thumb and index finger, and do not allow any other part of your palm to contact the grip. The upper part of the Mathews grip is fairly narrow, making that part of the grip less likely to torque. I used this grip on my Q2 XL also with good results. I also needed a longer stabilizer to control the torque, and allow the bow to be tuned more easily. The grip is such an individual thing, it is very difficult to get good advise on what might work for you. Also, if you keep getting tears that indicate an arrow that is too stiff, I would try some heavier weight points to see if they make any difference. If they do not, then the problem is more likely to be torque. With your problem, I wish you "bon chance."

Hello Fred and welcome

take the grip off the bow then paper test without the grip, this way you will know whether or not it is the grip.
hope this helps.

Thanks for the help in Iraq !! Was Normandy that long ago that no one over there remembers ?

i understand your ironic request.
You can't push all the french people on the same catégory of mind !
In the same time it's not possible to think that all the american people think that the war is the best option.
One think is sure for me, your guy who have lose the life for us in Normandie, and in all the other country for have a planet without bad dictator are héros !
I have no problem (for a frenchy) to speak with american people on this forum.
I've 34 years, but i've studing history. I know that your people has help us 2 times for the 2 world war ! Many people in France don't have forget that !
Best regard
Fred

dually what does your comment have to do with his tuning problem? you cant judge one person for the decesions that the countrys politicians decide

Lets try to help the guy out with his tuning issie instead of judging him for his nationality.
