With all due respect to ToddID - Dump the FOB's first.

Did I send you a sight on that bow with no bubble level?

I figured that out probably about the time you posted this.  I'm not used to having a level.  I was WAY off center.  It helped a lot.  I'm going to give the FOB's a fighting chance.  I REALLY want them to work.  I am done with the Fusions though.  I also have some Vanetc HP 2" I got a free sample of a few days ago.  Going to load a few of those up tonight

You should have packaged them with one of those butt out tools.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

DoubleJ.

Finish tuning the bow first, then shoot BH's for fine tuning. You should go to the Easton web site and look for downloads, they have a great tuning guide you can download and never have problems again :)

Good luck

If you get the chance, I would come out for this. We have a couple guys at CRB that are great at tuning.  http://cedarriverbowmen.net/docs/flyers/2012_FinalTune.pdf

Where is this?

John,
PM me with your email address.  We can get this remedied with little or no trouble.  I just need to send you a PDF.

I thought about trying them after I saw a guy at the rang using them but I think I would break to many of them and it would get expensive. Also, the walk around course is next to the flat range and I could hear those thing going all the way down the rang to the target. Not for me!!!

Go here and learn to tune your bow well, once you know how too it becomes easy to make changes to your bow and then re-tune in not time at all.

Tuning issue:
The simple answer is:  If one distance is hitting left or center and other is hitting center or right, then there is a tuning issue. Where your arrow hits at longer distances is where your bow wants to shoot the arrow.  Where you hit at short distances is where your rest is trying to force the arrow.  If you move the rest in the direction your bow is trying to shoot the arrow, you will essentially be tuning your bow or bringing the arrow closer to center shot.  A tuning method called modified French tuning takes this into account.  You start out shooting at 3 yards and move the sight pins so you are hitting a vertical line going through bullseye.  Then you step back to 10/15/20 yards and take 3 shots.  If your arrows hit left (then close in your bow is pushing arrow to the right of where the arrow wants to go) you will move rest to the left (1/16 inch at a time).  Then repeat at 3 yards (adjust sight to the hit the vertical line).  Step back and repeat rest adjustment if needed.  If you cross center shot, then the adjustments will reverse and you'll need to go back to previous rest setting, or half the distance.

I like this tuning method because I can consistently hit the same spot at 3 and 10 yards.  When I start missing at 50-80 yards, I can only blame form and fatigues.

Sighting issue:
If your arrow is left at close range and left at distant range, then it is a sight issue.
