Tuning question for BT Experience

[boom]

I wouldn't do it with a Bowtech cam. They are not near as beefy as the Hoyt cams. Not sure about Hoyt's manual but the BT manual states right in it not to use this technique.

I'm guessing here:

We are talking about drawing a bow and then sticking a screwdriver into the cams and letting down on the draw?

Lol.

Why?

Because that is a great deal of stress directed onto an area that is not designed for it. Those little interior cam bars can easily bend or worse. And if they break or the screwdriver slips out and goes flying across the room, a broken bow may be the least of your concerns. Not to mention all the stress torquing down on the limbs. Bad idea all the way around, IMO.

While not ideal, it can be done safely, as demonstrated above.

On a Hoyt bow. Big difference in the cams. I own both. Maybe Darin will ring in on different brands.

Centered rest, checked timing, put two twists in the left yoke, and got a bullet hole. Was done in 15 minutes. Further proof how easy the overdrive binary cam is to tune. Will check bare shaft and shoot broadheads in a little bit hopefully.

Slick! That could save your ass in the woods.

Bare shaft tonight. Not sure if the bag moved on the shot or what, thoughts?

 

[SDHNTR]

Looks pretty good, given a bag target. Go to broadheads. But for future reference, don't bare shaft tune on a bag. Need a block type target.

 

[Jason Snyder]

Agree, screw on broadheads and see how they fly.

 

[rhendrix]

Thanks. Working tomorrow. Hopefully will check broadheads on Friday.

Just curious, why can't you bare shaft tune on a bag target.

 

[Manosteel]

because fine tuning arrow flight using bare shafts is more than just getting them to hit the same spot at 10-15-20 yards. You want both arrows hitting the same spot perfectly straight and parallel to each other. From your pick it looks like you have a micro amount of nock right but then again it could just be the bag sagging/rebounding a bit from impact. A solid target like a 18-1 Reinhart will keep the arrow in the same position it impacted the target and not let is sag from rebounding out a bit.

Got ya. Thanks.
