Too much practice not enough time chasing critters! Happens a lot this time of year. Time for that new string and cables I guess. I leave on Friday for my spring bear hunt. Not sure when I'm coming back as I plan on staying until I've got blood on my knife and meat in the cooler. But I will call you before I leave Colville so we can try to meet as I'm traveling through. I can pick up the bow and get it restrung and do a hootertune for ya. Might cost you some good home made peanut butter cookies
You can be a scouter, or a photo taker. You don't have to be hunting, Smoss!! Get out and burn some boot leather. RadSav you never cease to amaze me, man. You're a good dude.
RadSav you never cease to amaze me, man.
Hey Smossy - Those colors you chose are looking very nice! But I have to say you had that bow set up very nice. Not sure the string and cables were the problem. Just a little tweeking with the arrow rest and nockset height is all I could see. But this thing is going to look WAY cooler in about 15 minutes That might be all it was lacking
Wow! That's a dang good shooting bow too Just finished the first 50 shots with the new string and cables. Peep hasn't even begun to turn. So I'm not even going to bother with the next 50. Let you do that on your own. Looks good, shoots good, and I like what you've got there. If it had some deer or elk blood on it...it would be perfect.I bet I've made more than 100 strings and cables for Hoyt bows in the past. Never in that time have I had the factory specs result in perfect cam timing. The control cable always needs twisting one way or another. It's been bad enough that I quit making the control cables until I have the new string and power cable made and on the bow. I then twist the old control cable in or out until I get perfect timing. I then measure that cable and make the new one to that length. Usually that puts the control cable 1/8" to 5/32"" from the factory spec when measured under 100# tension/ATA standard. I need not have bothered on this bow. First ever perfect Hoyt I've held in my hands! I knew they existed...but was beginning to think I would never see one They do exist!!!
This is awesome! You da man radsav.
So will the string stretch at some point or no? (Making the peep rotate) and if it does what do I do with it then?

I took the time to do this one right knowing you have limited access to shops where you are at. So floating yoke, power cable, control cable and string have all been pre-stretched @300# for at least one hour each before serving was applied. Then serving was applied while at the same 300#. The same I would do on all my own strings. If that peep did not move in the first 50 shots I expect it will not move ever. But there is always a chance something could give If that happens a good pro shop can make the adjustments.
Smossy.....hope you don't feel to much pressure....I mean....If you DON"t whack something with this bow.....
Was very nice to meet you RadSav, ... Oh and your wife is spunky lol, she's cool I liked her.

Larry is a good guy no doubt. Hes not at puyallup anymore hes at the federal way store. He helped me out with my first trail cam. Cookies? Psht gotta do special favors for me to get cookies!
I don't imagine there will be much sighting in to be done with the new string. I did move the rest a little (1/16") to the left and the nock set up a little (also 1/16"). But if you gang adjust the sight at 20 yards all the rest should fall right back into place. I'm shooting your bow at 9 yards using the 30 yard pin. Impact is 1" high and 3/8" left of the spot. Not sure where your 30 pin crosses at close distance. But my bows all do it at 9 yards. So you should be very close.I did change your D-Loop configuration a little as well. Kept the longer length as you requested. But I adjusted the way it is located so the release sits directly behind the arrow nock. That could potentially change things more than the adjustments to the rest or nockset. You should still be close though!
So your saying if i have a 7 yrd. Shot in the elk woods i can use my 30 yrd pin?
Smossy - you can pay me in cookies any day Those are yummy good The world would be a much better place if cookies were standard currency
Soft and crunchy made no difference. They were all good Sshhhhhh! Don't say whole wheat around the wife. She really likes them right now. Say the words, "Whole wheat flower" and they will instantly turn to "Icky". She's not quite right in the head
Hey! Be careful calling my Super-Deuce 38's "meta" The aperture on that SD38 is slightly larger in diameter and more true to string angle than what you had on there before. That should definitely improve your vision in low light.
