    I'm Stumped?

    Many adjustments later! I haven’t shot through paper but these are 2 different fixed blades matched to field points at 20 yards. Will need to find a place to shoot 30 &40 .

    I'm Stumped?

    Yeah for sure .... well I picked up a wrist index style today got peep all tied in and went to shoot and I'm finding myself not being able to use trigger without some sort of wrist/hand rotation. ive lengthened and shortened several times. shortening helps a little but throws everything off and...

    I'm Stumped?

    Im beginning to think my release is the culprit for the inconsistencies I'm having at the moment! I find sometimes I need to reach with my index finger and that in turn 1 changes peep alignment and 2 torques the string. I have a thumb release that I hate! punched myself too many times drawing...

    I'm Stumped?

    yeah im still struggling but feel as though I might be doing something.? Ive never owned a short ATA bow like this but I'm constantly looking at form > im at a point where at 20 my bareshaft arrow hits with fletched and usually entering target straight. I can still see it kicking which gives me...

    I'm Stumped?

    well after hours of moving stuff and shooting paper with crazy results I was close. I gave up on paper and landed on a center shot at 3/4" cams moved around until I was at 20 yards bare shaft hitting target straight and 1" left of fletched arrow. almost looks like the fletched are kicking...

    I'm Stumped?

    I'll check it out. I had a serving knot under knocking point under arrow and removed it when I decided to raise my knock point. I think I need to lower rest as I still have a tiny low tear with bare shaft so maybe I just raise knock the serving knot and that might take care of that?but I was...

    I'm Stumped?

    Ive never had this bow at a shop. no shops near me. I can micro adjust for sure but wouldn't that adjustment make it kick worse? Ive read somewhere that common with these bows center shot at 13/16 then move cams accordingly and the arrow will be pointing left away from riser when shooting bullet...

    I'm Stumped?

    ive been using the same release for the last 18 years. ive tried a couple others over the years and just can't seem to get solid anchor points. and changing releases feels like a draw length change

    I'm Stumped?

    shot paper and had knock right tear with fletched and knock right and a little low with bare shaft so I moved dead lock cam shooting and got a point of small low tear with fletched arrow but same right tear as the first shot before adjustments.

    I'm Stumped?

    yeah its still kicking.. center shot is at 13/16 I believe maybe 3/4 arrows are knock vane up on the "spine align" mark and same position for bare shaft. I originally had 350 arrows per Victory website calculator but everything was worse so picked up 300s and everything seems a little...

    Struggle Stick

    I will second on Tom. I Bought my longbow from him long time ago! he had me just shoot every bow in my price range and basically gave me lessons the entire time as I had never shot one. I don't hunt with it anymore but he got me dialed in that first year and haven't needed to change a thing...

    Bow tuning issues.

    good deal.. ive been moving rest and cams a lot and keep getting a tear, ive come to grips with it being me. I have 2 torn shoulders so I can shoot enough to work it out so I've decided to go with max of 30 yards. after taking 15 bulls not one of them was outside of 30 anyway

    Bow tuning issues.

    Id try a 250 arrow personally. assuming moving the rest didn't help? it was mentioned earlier to do that. have you tried moving the rest? I'm actually having the same problem but with a Bowtech solution SS and I'm beginning to think its me as its a new bow for me and a shorter ATA than ive ever...
