    Ok.. something is a-miss here.. Needing a 300 spine arrow or stiffer to tune?? Something isn't right, I get bullet holes with my 350's, those are mid-range in the sizing for my setup, I didn't need a stiff arrow to paper tune. Normally a right tear (right hand shooter) is because the spine is too stiff, the yokes (if you have yokes) are out of alignment or the rest is off and one fix is to put a heavier tip on the arrow (which is what was done above to correct the tear), though in reality was you are doing is weakening the spine (or in other words going from a 300 or 250 spine to a like 275 or 325 spine). So at that point you are shooting a less stiff arrow, with which you should be moving to a weaker spine arrow. If that doesn't resolve the issue and you have yokes you should be tuning the yokes first, then moving the rest for micro tuning the center shot.

    My IBO/ASA arrows are in the 380 grain range and my hunting arrows are in the 420 range, both are 350 spine arrows, hunting I use a 100 grain broadhead and IBO/ASA I use 120 grain points. When finally tuned, both shoot bullet holes out to 20 yards fetched and bare shaft. So just adding weight to the arrow seems like it covering up for a bow that is not quite tuned properly.

    All things being equal as in you've tuned and set you bow up properly. Heavy nock travel is masked by stout arrow spines.

    This was the issue with the K&K bow in their original hybrid system and why they introduced a retro binary switch out before going BK.

    Regardless what you read this bow was a brain fart. A cam system meant to really be on a binary that was with a brain fart modified by the designer into a hybrid. The nock travel was ridiculous. Not knocking anything. Great bow design but a half assed cam system.

    There's u tube videos available that demonstrate all what I'm saying.

    But i don't know of a bow today that has this kinda issue and this bow should tune with a 350 like a breeze.

    Maybe if you buy used (well, previously owned and most not shot) she would be happier. Happy wife...happy life. Sending PM

    Apparently I lied. I can't figure out how to PM. Did we loose that with the sight changes? Or maybe I'm not awake.. Help???
