    Bow tuning help

    6” to 8” at what distance? If at 40-50 yards a rest adjustment will likely take care of it. If at 20 yards, then you might need to shim cams.

    Bow tuning help

    What he said above about moving the rest. I’ll add if you’re going to rely on paper tuning as a first step you should go it at two distances. One a few feet in front of the bow and the other at around 15’ - 20’. Lastly, how far left are the broadheads hitting and at what yardage?

    Micros in wind

    My experience is the same as most others when shooting my skinny arrows from my compound and as 5 miles pointed out FBBH amplify wind drift dramatically. I’ve also noticed when shooting my longbows in a crosswind that the point normally hits close to the spot while the 5” x 3 feathered end gets...

    Wrist strap?

    I’ve used on for the past 15 years. Just got a new Hoyt Alpha X 33 earlier this year and chose not to use a wrist sling on the new bow. I was shooting the bow a day or two after picking it up with a new Carter Like Mike 2 release and the release failed at 3/4 draw. I punched myself in the face...

    Removing inserts with drill bit, safe arrows to use still?

    That little, curly fiber is likely from the front 1/16” of the arrow and just came loose when the insert was removed, so it’s likely only the front 1/16” of the arrow is weakened. When you install the new insert that area will be strengthened so you should be good to go.

    Broken Hoyt Bow

    Sorry to hear about your bow. Lots of things could’ve happened with that screw to cause it to shear. Tech at shop could’ve left it loose or stripped it when adjusting the draw, factory assembler could’ve done the same, screw might’ve backed out a little on its own due to vibration and/or...

    Hamskea Rest

    I’ve been shooting Hamskea rests for about 15 years. All the things you point to happen; rest lays flat, arrow moves to the side before the draw begins, I have felt on the launcher arm, etc. Rest works as designed and arrow always settles in the middle of the launcher arm by the time I reach...

    How many strings do you go through each year?

    I use to change strings every year. Now I’m pretty sure I’ve been shooting the same string since 2017 on my Habu Vyperkahn and it’s still in great shape. That said I don’t shoot nearly as much as I use to.

    Shipping to a bow shop

    A draw board is a must so you can adjust timing. Look at a LCA press and add their draw board accessory. A good bow vice is nice but not mandatory. Bow square, a set of levels and a set of loop pliers are cheap add ons.

    Beartooth 7 or 9" tall boots?

    I currently own and hike in Schnee Beartooths at 9” and Granites, along with Lowa Renegade and Lowa Camino. Both the Lowa boots are 7” or 8”. I actually find the shorter boots a bit more comfortable and they seem to provide better mobility. The Beartooths are slightly stiffer than the Lowa...

    Retuned and lost a lot of sight tape yardage?

    You stated in your original post that you verified cam timing. It could be your cams weren’t in time before you changed the cables. Even a 1/8” difference in timing can have a pretty profound impact on nock height.

    polarized sunglasses

    I’ve worn Costa and Maui Jim glasses for years but prefer the lense quality of Maui Jim’s. Maui Jim have many frame styles available from fishing to casual to fashion. I’ve also got some Maui Jim prescription fishing glasses and my vision has never been as good as it is when wearing these...

    Nevada draw

    The guy who hosted the YouTube cast of the draw yesterday said updates in your online account then shortly after cards charged then emails. I bet they all happen within a short period of time once one starts. It’s around the 11:20.

    Nevada draw

    After seeing the number of entries listed yesterday during the YouTube showing of the draw I’m not feeling very good and I’m a resident with lots of points for most everything. See picture, next post. One entry equals one bonus point generated random number. For example, if you have 10 bonus...

    Re fletching arrows

    Shoot the arrow with the lost vane as far away from you as possible in an area you’ll never find it and forget about everything you’re thinking of doing. That should help cure the OCD.
