OK, got the new Z7 today and got it set up. I have a problem with the sight. I really like this sight, it is a Spot Hogg Hunter sight with the wrapped pins, its very bright and easily adjustable. My problem is this, I cant adjust the sight over enough to get on target. At 20 yards I am still 8-10" too far to the right and the gang adjustment is maxed out. I like the sight, I like the bow, maybe this sight/bow combo just wont work, any thoughts?
Are the bow and arrow tuned? It almost sounds like you have a severely weak spine. Tune bow/arrow first, then adjust sight to POI.
I agree with Bruce, there is something wrong with the tune of this bow/arrow combo. This bow should accept any sight and have more than adequate sight adjustments. How about listing your exact set up.
Thanks guys, I am not a "bowguy" so I relied on the shop that I bought the bow from for help. I got a good deal on the bow and accessories but was skeptical of the method they used to tune my bow. I am shooting a new Z7 28.5" @ 70lbs. with a spott hogg hunter sight, a octane hostage pro rest and Beman ICS 400 hunter arrows. I am thinking of heading to Bass Pro Shops where I bought the sight and letting them help with tuning.
What is meant by "weak spine"? Are you referring to arrow stiffness? I am shooting Beman ICS Hunter 400 arrows.
spine is the stiffness of the shaft. A .400 spine is way to weak for your bow at 70#. They should have tuned the bow with your arrows or arrows of a similar nature but they should have known that a .400 spine is to weak for your bow. you will likely need something in the .340 range. For reference I shoot a 29" arrow, .400 out of a 58# bow
