Who's shooting? Tuning? Tinkering?

Nice little synergy in my mailbox tonight.

I went ahead and ordered a new string due to some fraying of the string material that wax wasn't helping. I was never happy with this string anyways, so I made the jump to America's Best. Once I have that swapped out, I can finalize everything. Almost to the finish line with all this tinkering!

AB makes good yarn.
I got my single pin dialed in for the new darts and through the updated tape on. Walked to 40 yards and stacked 3 shafts in a very respectable group. Shits getting real...

I wanted to get dialed in with what will be my hunting setup, broadheads and all. I got my top pin zeroed at 20. I took a shot at 10, 15, and 20 to finish out the session just to see the results. I’m good with it! I’ll attempt to zero the next pin tomorrow.

Been practicing from 60 almost every night. Things are getting in sync nicely.

I gotta start shooting...

Allen was in need of arrows and I had hoped to buy him a new dozen this year. He had been practicing with some old Victory VForce arrows I had and we got to talking about possibly customizing them and they would be his. I sent him the Onestringer page and had him look through what they had, even the custom stuff. He really liked the flag type and picked out a pattern. Next was figuring out what fletchings he was going to go with. He’s pretty happy with his choices and tonight we started getting them done.

Stripping off the old.

The colors!!

Here’s the final result!!

Two white flag fletch and one white. Can’t wait to see them fly!!

Great looking arrows! Hopefully one of them will get blood soaked soon!

Arrow #1 was the one I used to kill my biggest buck!! Hoping he uses that one to do just that Brock!!

You sure you two aren't related?! Ever been to Michigan about 16 years ago??

 

[giles]

Hahaha!

The first week of bow season is the right time to install a bow press and change your string, right? Asking for a friend.

Confidence is your friend with the stick and string. Dont go down that hole from a few years ago when a no man's land shot rattled ya to the core.

Total confidence this year; I just procrastinated on a mechanical fix that needs done. Should be a simple swap and right back to business in short order

Meh... It's only 9/29. You've got plenty of time to dick around with a new bow string. All good brotha. No better time than the present!

How about that idler cam suppressor? 2007 OEM equipment with thousands of impacts.

Spent 2.5 hours tonight going over things with a fine toothed comb. Had some issues with cam timing and couldn't find my reference material on the subject, so there was a good bit of trial an error until I got it right. ATA and brace height are back to spot on and this was the first shot through paper. I backed up to 10' and shot 5 more, ultimately making a 1/16" adjustment to my rest. A decade ago, this was an impossible task. Tonight, it's what I did after work. Super satisfying feeling to be my own bow tech!

Sah-weet!

 

[Big_Holla]

Pretty damn cool to do it yourself. Definitely a confidence booster.

Tiller measurements are cam timing for future reference unless you have Switchhitters bow
