    hoyt element g3 @62lbs
    29" draw, shafts cut a 27.5 (throat to end)
    using release with d-loop and peep. right handed shooter.

    mixed paper tuning results using easton axis nfused with a 100g tip. i have shot both 400 and 340 spine. bare shaft and 3 vane fletch @ right offset.

    OT2 is telling me the 340 is preferable over the 400.

    guys, tell me what the issue is here. which spine is better? Do I have a Cam timing issue?

    All shots made at 4, 8 and 16 feet. best form used. 1st, 2nd and 3rd axis are set.

    OT2 results:

    400 spine/340 spine

    To the best of my knowledge you will choose your spine based on the draw length, draw weight, and arrow length, get on easton arrows website. They should have the chart on there. I personally haven't paper tuned a bow myself yet but i know the pro shop i used before just moved the rest around until it shot the way it needed to. It could be a timing issue as well especially with a double cam bow as well. This may not help you with your problem but i thought i'd share what i've learned.

    There is an obvious tuning issue.

    Neither should tear like that.



    You may have a timing issue as well as a yoke tune issue.

    I would guess that the timing is off or that you have some cam lean. The only other thing that comes to me is you very well could have a weak limb that is causing the tear to be like that as well
