DropZone Broke / Bare shaft tuning woes...
Well, got my new DropZone on, my new MicroMatrix sights on, got everything how I like it and the stupid rope on the drop zone came untied inside the rest.... [:@][:@]
So, I got back from the bow shop around 3pm yesterday (they fixed it and told me if it didn't hold, they would fix it again for free... I think I finally found a good bow shop!!! :D). Anyway, in order to fix it, he had to take it off the bow and when he put it back on he adjusted it for centershot. But when I got back home, all my fine tuning was gone so I decided to do it right and bare shaft tune. So, at 5 yards, the back of my arrow is low and left. I decided to tackle the left issue first. The first recommendation is that the spine is wrong. But looking at the charts for my arrows, I should be a no brainer! So i'm pretty sure that's not the problem... I tried moving my rest left. Got a little better, then started getting worse. Thinking I was doing something wrong, I tried moving it right, just made it worse. Never even got to the issue of the back end of the arrow being low. Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything else to move to adjust for uneven left / right flight? I JUST WANT TO HUNT!!!!! But I can't get my equipment to be happy this year... I'm debating going back to aluminum arrows (i only have 4 left) and my old whisker biscuit and crappy sight... maybe it would work... |

Never even got to the issue of the back end of the arrow being low. Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything else to move to adjust for uneven left / right flight? As for left/right adjustments , (assuming your a right handed shooter) a left impact indicates a heavy spine. You can either turn your poundage up until the arrow impacts the same as fletched shafts or try a heavier tip. Or you can try a longer arrow of the same spine or switch do a different spined arrow. Being a little over spined is not a big issue (to me anyway). How far to the left are your arrows impacting compared to your fletched shafts? I'd also suggest backing up to 15 yards , 10 at the very least. |

Thanks BOWFANATIC!
When I got it back from work yesterday, I sat down, took a couple of deep breaths and started again -- this time with the nock. Since i'm shooting a string loop, it was not too hard to move it up and down a little. After about 20 minutes of playing with it, things started to click and I got the verticle issues taken care of out to 20 yards. After that, i get a small amount of nock low behavior but I've heard that's normal due to the lack of fletchings. So I started to tackle the windage problems. I was looking at my arrows, and I don't think I could be over spined. I'm shooting the equiv. of carbon express TR6075 at 29.5" with a 125gr tip and 70#draw. Knowing this, I started mucking around with the rest and finally found a setting that seems to give perfect flight. ;) So, just have to tune the broadheads and I'm good to go! Thanks for the help! |
