Flight Tune Question

[deadeye]

I've got the arrow hitting the line at 5yds and 20yds but it seems to be about an inch or so high at 15. It may be the shooter but.... ;D

Any ideas?

Give me everything about your bow and I'll have an answer for you hopefully.

I need the :
arrow make and weight
head weight
vanes/feathers?....what length/style
Bow Cam style
Bow weight
Arrow rest type
Angle of fletch to the rest

That info. (above) should just about do it.

[deadeye]

Carbon Express Terminator Hunter Select 45/60 442gr
Razorcap 100gr
Blazer vanes 2 inch 3 fletch
Darton Maverick CPS cam, 62lb draw weight, 243fps
Ultra Rest LD
odd vane down

I thought about playing with draw weight and 125gr heads as well as turning the odd vane up.

The broadheads were hitting low and left of the field points so I lowered the nocking point and that seemed to bring them together when I did my part. I tried the Montec as well. It hit a few inches higher but still low left. Had the family over today so I didn't have much time to play with it. I'm thinking there is a spine issue.

With the ultra- rest you should shoot odd feather up. Other than that BT will field this one.

O.K....

#1: Turn the odd vane up
#2: start your horizontal flight tuning at 5 yrds. and work back 5 at a time until you hit 15 yards.
#3: Set the first pin to hit spot on @ 15yrds.
#4: go back to 20yards and shoot horizontal.

If the arrow strikes spot on then you are set.
If it is low then your bow is beyond the flat trajectory.
( I doubt this last one is the case)

If the high center remains , then your bow is slightly out of time on the top limb and must be adjusted.

I take it that your vertical line is o.k.

Correct?

The arrow you are shooting at that weight (in my experience) is fine for 27 - 29" w/100gr. heads

I thought your answers would eliminate all questions but there are still a couple left ....as you can see

[deadeye]

Thanks Skip and BT.

Yes the vertical is right on. I'll try the suggestions tomorrow and report back.

[deadeye]

WELL....seems the problem may have a been a combination of things. First I turned the odd vane up. Couldn't get them on the line from the various yardages. I mean they hit different at 5, 10, 15 and 20.

So I took a good look and could see the nock point was too low. I took the sight up one hash mark and BAM ...

RIGHT ON THE MONEY OUT TO 30yds;D

Love it when a plan comes together. Thanks for advice guys. Saved me some time. I didn't think about the odd vane up with Ultra Rest. My thinking was contact with the guard on top.

I checked the timing marks on the cams. The top may be off one turn of the buss cable. It's VERY close. I'll get to that tomorrow.

Hey! .... dead on is dead on

Leave the cable be!

[deadeye]

I may try another stabilizer I have before I put it in the press for the cable. She is rocking pretty good on release.
