    Well I got my Diamond Black Ice pretty much where I want it I been shooting everyday with it for the last two weeks an Im starting to like this bow even more. I cant shoot groups with it anymore at 20 almost out to 30 yds I've already busted up a few arrows doing so which is not all bad. Im seeing things pretty good with my setup I also shot out to 40 and thats also a pretty good group but more spread out the farther back. So I've been walk back tuning it. Heres my best group out to thirty today. And another set I shot cuz im paranoid to shoot groups now. This bow is ready to hit the woods. [​IMG][​IMG]

    Same here. I try to self tune everything myself. I am a cheap skate, plus I love to learn how to do all of the tuning so I can do it on my own. I have learned a lot from all the people on here. BTW, that is some good shooting. Good luck this year.

    Are your arrows not going in straight? The pictures seem like there sticking out an an angle.

    They are going in straight its probably the angle I took the pic plus that yellow vane arrow is an odd ball

    Bag targets can make arrows look like they aren't hitting straight, it's just the target. Good shooting man.

    What have you done to tune it? Have you tried shooting broadheads yet?

    The only things I did was put my sight on and my rest. I had my 1/4 meta peep installed an tied at the pro shop. I eyeballed the smackdown rest by just lining it up with the bolt holes and serial number markings making it straight as can be. I've got pretty good eyes might I add lol. As far as my knock point I also just eye balled it by lining it up with the rest and the bolt holes with the rest in the up position but when the rest is down its more at a down hill position. I had to make a slight windage adjustment to the rest an everything else has just been walk back tuning an micro adjustments so far so good. Im taking it to the proshop again just to see how close I am with the levels but honestly everything feels and looks good. I dont think this bow needs paper tuning French tuning etc. And yes I have shot my rage practice heads and some cheap hundred grain broadheads out of it and all fly like field points.
