I need the experts.
I have a new bow this year, a Hoyt UltraSport, I've been shooting archery for 20 years and every year except for last, it has been a strugle to get broadheads to shoot correctly. Last year I had an MT Sport and loved it but had to make a change for this year, I wish I hadn't.
I shoot 70lbs, 28.5" PSE Dominator 300, 4" vanes with the most helical I can get, a drop away rest, release, and always follow the Easton Tuning Guide.
Paper tuning this new bow, I can't get rid of an 1 1/4" tear to the right, this is an odd tear, being right handed and I have tried everything to get rid of it, I have lowered my draw weight, I have increased and lowered my tip weight. I have also tried an aluminum arrow, same thing. I've tried moving my rest to the left, I have made sure that everything has clearance and I'm at a loss for options and have a trip to CO, soon. I have tried for a month to correct this myself, but have finally given into asking for help.
P.S. It's been a while since I have done alot of reading within the post, how are people feeling about using expandables on elk? I have always been able to use Muzzy 100's, but may have to look elswhere.

RE: I need the experts.
If any thing the 300 will be underspined and would also explain the eratic tear.
I would go with something stiffer.
and remember that the easton tuning guide is NOT the holy grail of bow tuning and arrow selection, think of it as a start and I have foundthat what ever the tuning guide tells you as far as arrow selection to go up to a stiffer arrow than what it says to use.
I dont use expandables so I will not comment on them.

RE: I need the experts.
Take it to a reputable Hoyt Factory-Authorized Pro Shop/technician for assistance, someone you trust. It could be something as simple as an arrow spine issue or even a rest movement issue, but it could also be something in cam centershot/incorrect shimming, etc. Best to have a tech look at it especially if you have a trip coming up soon. This way you can be sure everything is as it supposed to be when you head out. If you cannot find it in a month's time, iMHO it's time to take it to someone who can better assist you while being able to actually look at it in hand. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
