Anyone who feels this way should purchase a press - seriously. It’s the only way most people are gonna see perfect.
It’s not to say that some bow shops arent good because some are - but one, there’s far too many hacks out there who don’t have a clue what’s going on… and two, even the good ones have a backlog of work - if your bow is gonna take 1 hour to get to 85% and 3 extra hours to get to 100% guess what - you’re getting a 85% so he can get to the next bow on the wall. No one is going to spend the time on it like you will because it’s yours. The expense of a press sucks, but now I no longer have to wonder if the work being done is right
FWIW I also had a tear with my Ventum 33 and ended up needing to shim as well to get it close. After that I bareshaft tuned at 20 and then walk backed. Broadheads were dead on after that.
Also, I’d stop letting that shop touch my bows. If they send you out the door with a paper tuned bow and you weren’t the one shooting it - well, remember how I said there’s too many hacks out there? The shop you’re going to employs one of those guys.
