    I've been shooting my new Bear Attack for about a week now and Im really adjusting well so I thought I would try to do some tuning today, when the arrow is nocked and in the whisker biscuit it pointed downward I couldn't wind the d loop down so I tried to raise the biscuit so now the biscuit is at a slight forward angle but the arrow is more level I also moved the biscuit to the right a little because the arrow was slightly pointing to the left, so I got the arrow straight and almost level do you guys think it's alright to shoot with the biscuit at a forward angle like that until I can get to the bow shop and lower the d loop?

    Taking a few shots with it wouldnt hurt but I wouldnt keep it that way for long or the bisquit will start to wear out in an egg shape pattern which will cause problems.

    What striker said, then you will have to buy a new whisker ring.

    First thing I'd do is get a bow square and check where that nocking point is actually set and adjust accordingly. For your left and right, try to line up your arrow dead down the center of your stabilizer and go from there.

    I got it to the Bow shop today after work got it all straightened out, thanks guys, Im thinking about getting a new biscuit anyways though because i started shoot Easton Axis and I still have the medium sized biscuit so the the Axis has a little bit of play in it you guys think id notice a difference if i switched to the small biscuit?
