hey guys, picked up a new Defiant Turbo. Going to be shooting 330 FMJ injexions out of it tip with a QAD Exodus fixed blade. What should i do tuning wise before i sight it in?

I'm assuming that since you purchased a Hoyt that your pro-shop would get your basic tuning taken care of, but if not, I would start with the obvious tuning modalities:
Draw length (tip of nose, corner of mouth)
cam timing, nock points, rest mounted, paper tuning, sight leveling and install, just to name a few.
I would iron out any form and posture flaws that may be there, if none exist it will make tuning easier.
Once I walked out of the shop with my bow dialed, my next step would be to French Tune, which might involve
moving the rest which one would think would screw up the ever so sought after "bullet hole" through paper and
it probably will, but that's ok. Paper Tuning is just a starting point. I would also make sure that the pro shop spins
my arrows to make sure there is no wobbles on the back portion of the arrow. I have seen a lot of arrows just get tossed
on the saw and cut from the tip end with no testing to see where any inconsistencies are in the shaft. I would also play around
with draw weight to see if my fixed blades grouped better at a given weight. 3-4lb of DW is pretty much the same as changing
arrow spine one way or the other.
 
I shoot the same set up. Im finding my 2016 to be far more sensitive than my 14 & 15 turbos are. Its almost as if the 330's are a lil under spined for the new cam (#3) ive backed my limbs out 1.5 turns and seems to help. Easton is coming out with a 280 spine fmj injection this month. I will prob run with them as soon as i can get some.. best of luck
 
There are a bunch of threads on AT talking about how this year's aren't tuning the same. Most are saying bottom cam ahead to get best bare shaft flight / bullet holes. My limited experience with mine agrees, I am running bottom cam ahead with the limb stop installed currently.

I am at 29" draw, 71 lbs, running a 250 spine gold tip with about 170 gr up front, but had no issues with my 300 Gold Tips either with 125 gr tips.

Maybe we can get Shane/ontarget7 to chime in - he usually has tested the hell out of these bows and tried pretty much everything...
