Broadhead Retuning

[Brendan]

When you say "tips the cams to the right" I assume you mean "moves the bottom of the cam to the right" towards the direction of the cable pull. Because on my lefty, when I tighten the cable guard more (cables on the left), it pulls the bottom of the cam to the left which tips the top of the cam more right.........which has the same effect as tightening the outside yoke (away from the cables).

No, on my bows, tips the top of the cam to the right.

Although, now that you mention it, depending on cam design, cable tension, where cables attach, I could see this being different.

On mine (LH), when I put more tension on the cables by pulling them further from the string, the outside yoke takes the brunt of that pull which pulls the outside of the axle and outside limb down. Which in turn turns the top of the cam away from the cables and the bottom towards. Which does the exact same tuning adjustments as tightening the right (i.e. outside) yoke.

Ya, really easy to start to see why so many different variations of tuning seem to work for so many different people.

Well after completing my last shot for the cold bow challenge, I sent 2 of my fixed blade heads at 50yds with this result;


I'll wring this out more once a corneal abrasion mends, but I think I might have been gripping the bow differently in such a way that it affected the broadheads but not the fp's. Thinking back, I remember having a hard time getting my bow to level out which probably means I was having to induce some grip torque to center the bubble.

I may try playing around with my grip to see if I can replicate and identify the difference.

If they are back shooting like that with no adjustments on your bow then I'd definitely say it was a form issue. Grip torque, facial pressure, etc. At least those are easy fixes! Good luck figuring out exactly what it was.
