    Bow Scale Reading Low

    Ok, maybe a naieve question. I just got a last chance 2.0 scale for my homemade draw board. It’s reading 68 pounds with limb bolts absolutely right. Factory said 73.5 when I bought the bow. Why would this be other than scale is inaccurate? I back limb bolts out 5 turns which should equate to 5...

    Draw length measuring long

    His is a Bowtech Realm X, mine is a Reign 7. I've never had a Bowtech measure long. He bought it used and really makes me wonder about strings/cables.

    Draw length measuring long

    I made a drawboard finally just the other day so I could check things st home. Anyway, I have a friend who asked me to look his bow over. His draw length is set at 30” but it’s meauring 30.5 on the board. My bow is set at 29.5 and measures to exactly 29.5. Why would his be measuring so much...

    Scarpa Kinesis

    Any interest out there for a pair of Scarpa Kinesis size 12? They are about a year old...have the Lathrop and Sons Synergy footbed and they were also custom ground by L&S. I've worn them in town walking the dog and on a few hikes in our local "hills". In terrific condition. They don't seem...

    Scarpa Kinsesis Pro Pain

    Thanks for the insight guys. It’s just a weird thing the pain I get. I was directed towards these from a pretty reputable place, but they just don’t seem to be the fit for me. Quality is outstanding in them. I think I may just need a boot with more room in the forefoot area maybe. Or maybe it’s...

    Scarpa Kinsesis Pro Pain

    I have a pair of Scarpa Kinsesis Pro that I got over a year ago in prep for some elk hunts that never happened. I've kept them and tried to use them for weighted hikes and general stuff in the whitetail woods. Anyway, I get some pretty bad pain near the first knuckle of middle two toes of my...

    Tree Saddle Questions

    Will be in a saddle for the first time this fall. It is different, but so much safer imo and obviously way lighter. I can't wait to use 6 wild edge steps, a whoopie sling, my new tethrd predator platform and wear my saddle in. So much different than lugging a light hang on and sticks at 22...

    Hamskea rest problems?

    Looks like a lot of fletching contact?

    Which Spine

    Would also depend on point weight. Have you put your current setup through a chrono?

    Release Issues

    Got an email back from Forrest Carter. He suggested putting a drop of rem oil at the bottom of the jaw where it meets the sear. I did that and ran the release through several cycles. It made a world of difference and I had to really tighten down the spring. My rights have really dwindled and...

    Finished my new bow

    300 and 307 fps with that heavy of an arrow? That's incredible. Your momentum would be outstanding too. Glad you're back in the game.

    Looking for input on my new bow

    Completely agree with shooting a bunch of different bows and find out what feels best. I've shot Bowtech forever simply because they are so much easier to tune IMO.

    Hamskea rest problems?

    I have the same rest. I had some fletching contact on initial setup. I just played with how much I stretched that little coil. I think they say 1/8" after blade is all the way down. Is your cord tied in the correct spot on the limb? I know with the newer past parallel bows, it becomes even...

    Spott Hogg question

    Love my fast eddie, don't have the XL, I have the standard base. Love the double pin and new double pointer. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

    Release Issues

    Went and shot again this morning. I put the lightest screw and backed out the screw as far as it would go. This is supposed to be 11 lbs of resistance. I don't have a scale so I can't verify. Anyway, I still could barely get the thing to fire. Maybe something is defective. I used my nock2it...

    Stabilizer Mounting - Offset or Side Mount for Secondary

    Good to hear you have found something that is working well for you. I've been toying with different stabilizers the last couple weeks. I've settled (for time being) on a quivalizer with an 8" bee stinger back bar with 3 oz of weight. It's holding very steady for me and my pin isn't moving...

    Release Issues

    More of a closeup. Took me 15 seconds to get it to fire. I don't like how vertical my hand is, but when it's not, the string digs into my face. https://youtu.be/tDLHDUJ-gPA

    Release Issues

    Yeah I've watched about everything he has published several times. I just don't know if it's me or the release. The last couple times I've sent him messages I haven't heard back. And understandably so. I'm anxious for his new website where I can load video, have him look at things etc.
