    Fletching with the spine of the arrow

    The problem might be is when you’re nock tuning if where the arrow would tear the best you’ve got a vane sticking straight at 9 o’clock towards your cables. On my new Hoyt, it doesn’t have the clearance that some of these other bows do and that would probably cause fletching contact. Other than...

    Fletching with the spine of the arrow

    I have Easton 6.5 match grades and when I was picking up my new bow this weekend, the guy was shooting through paper at the shop. He tried several of his arrows along with mine and mine was not getting as good a tear. He rotated the nock to lineup the word Easton at the top and he got a good...

    Fletching with the spine of the arrow

    Really? Can you link me to an article? This is interesting info. I’d love to read the basis behind why he thinks this. To be honest I’d rather not waste my time.

    There was a guy on YouTube using a long pipe clamp

    Awesome trail cam pictures?

    My son had this beauty in front of him last bow season and we caught it on our trail cam recently. We won’t shoot it even though in Iowa she’s probably be legal since she’s more than 50% brown. Too pretty to take.

    Fletching with the spine of the arrow

    My new Hoyt has tight cable clearance tolerances so fletchings have to be aligned a certain way to prevent them hitting cables depending on fletching choice of course but you see what I’m saying

    Fletching with the spine of the arrow

    I’m in love with a finely tuned bow but I spent so much time in them last year getting wrapped up in the super tuning hype that I’m done with it. I spent so much time adjusting and messing with stuff I could have been shooting and focusing on more important stuff. That’s why I’m wondering if...

    Hoyt alpha X is awesome

    I didn’t find time to shoot much today. I have been busy since this morning. I managed to fling about 20 arrows while my charcoal chimney was going this afternoon. Then I put it up. But during those 20 arrows I had taken the two .73 ounce weights off the stubby and replaced them with the 6...

    Fletching with the spine of the arrow

    This is something I’ve never worried about but I’m going to start doing it next time I fletch some up. I’m assuming when you do this you better know exactly how your cock feather is going to align before you start because don’t you want the arrows stiff side or spine mark at 12 o clock? This...

    Inconsistency day to day

    I asked the same question a while back on that other archery forum. I think it affects me as well but as long as I’ve been drinking coffee I think not having some coffee in the morning might have an equally detrimental affect as well.

    Hoyt alpha X is awesome

    Tomorrow I’m going to remove the stubby and put my 8” in its place and see how it feels. If it balances just as well there is not point in having the extra weight

    Hoyt alpha X is awesome

    Just out of curiosity for those that own an alpha x or Hoyt in general, how many of you like them set up the way mine is with a second stabilizer up high and how many have ditched the stubby factory one and just put a longer stabilizer in its place? I may play around tomorrow

    Hoyt alpha X is awesome

    I got her set up today. The tech had to swap shims around on both cams to get a tune with my arrows without having to move my Hamskea closer to the riser which would decrease cable clearance even more. I brought my old 1/4” peep with me but I decided to bump down to a 3/16”. We set it up on 30”...

    Getting my new alpha x tomorrow

    I had torquing issues and I copied my grip from a frontal picture of Tim Gillingham. It works well for me.

    Getting my new alpha x tomorrow

    So tell me what you have to do different on the Hoyt grip? Currently, I just close my index finger and have my other three at an angle off to the side of my grip.

    Getting my new alpha x tomorrow

    I’ll check into it

    Getting my new alpha x tomorrow

    I was worried about my grip. I have good form and good grip but coming off a 2012 Martin they have that big flat backed leather wrapped grip and I was afraid this one would be narrower.

    Release Recommendations

    Nothing wrong with a wrist release. Look at some of the pros. They compete with them. There are quite a few actually. If you decide to go with a better index release look at ones that have multiple trigger adjustment screws and are adjustable for length so you can get your trigger set where you...

    Getting my new alpha x tomorrow

    It came in! Planning on being at the shop bright and early. I’m providing my Hamskea drop away, and my Black Gold Rush sight from one of my old decommissioned bows and I’m taking a few of my arrows. The tech said he would get it roughly tuned and then have me shoot it to get it finished. He said...

    Build me a hunting bow

    Buy new and go to an archery shop and get fitted. Since you are inexperienced and new stay away from used. I’ve bought two bows used as fixer uppers in my life and while they turned out to be excellent bows and killed deer, I knew what I was doing and had to buy things like limbs etc to redo...
