    Actually, cutting your arrow will make a big difference.

    When your bow is at full draw there are two white lines on your rest that need to be perfectly aligned.. are they?

    Even if those lines are aligned, the rest can be coming up too early. Which means with this rest, it stays up longer.

    Gotcha. I've just heard it said that all you need to worry about with the qad is making sure the lines, line up.

    Oh Gotcha. Problem in this situation, I believe, is that we could be dealing with multiple issues.

    Internet tuning sucks.

    As trial said , one issue at a time and eliminating contact Is first and foremost.

    Of course, getting the bow into spec is part of that as well.

    Refined, I don't know about that. Full of bs, quite possibly. :what:

    I can usually french tune in my garage extremely close

    I have been considering this. Based on other tuning methods (I typically paper tune then bh tune, if needed) do you see a difference in accuracy/consistency at given yardages from one to the other, or? This is considering that spine are form are flawless.

    I just find it to be easier. Like I said above, I get it real close in the garage. But to be honest, on my hoyts, 13/16 is damn near perfect everytime.

    That's what I like about my PSE. If I do my part on the timing and the spine I can usually set my center shot and elevation per the riser marks and be ready to roll with bh's.

    Most are that way. Getting familiar with each is the tricky part.

    Spine is easy. Just punch the numbers in archers advantage and your golden.

    Agreed, lost of little quirks with each.
