Is this okay?
« on: April 26, 2018, 05:13:06 PM »


Not sure if the fletching rubbing the cable is going to be a problem or not?  I’m having a consistent problem with hitting too the left and I’m trying to eliminate all the variables that it could be. Most likely it’s not the equipment it is my form. What mistakes do you think I’m making? Any advice is very much appreciated, thank you.

Rotate all your arrows a bit to the left or right is what I do
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

No not ok!!! If the cable guard cannot be rotated a bit, then you may need to yoke tune to get the arrow away from the cable. Or do some adjusting of the thickness on your cam spacers. Not sure what how that is but it would depend on the bow what needs to be done. I'm guessing it's a Bear? Quick fix could be turning your nocks but I would look at the long term fix.
Shut up and Hunt!

That is not ok. You don’t want your arrow touching anything once you release. Same reason you want to use a drop away and not a whisker biscuit

Thank you for the info. Does turning the nocks affect the arrow flight? Also can’t afford a drop away just yet but will definitely get one when I can. I will try messing with the bow for that long term fix but I’m new to bows and don’t want to mess anything up. Again thank you.

Turning the knock won’t hurt a thing. Turn it so you have one vane straight out and your other two about 1 and 5 o’clock. You should notice a difference in your point of impact

My Diamond Deploy SB does the same thing.  The RAK kit they're selling has an arrow test that sent slow you to rotate the arrow, so I went with a bare bow and added a code red fall away and spot hog sight. 

It's a great shooting bow now, and all i do is make sure one fletch  is aiming at 9 o'clock that way my other two fletches clear the cables.

I grew up shooting a cheap recurve and having one fletch at 9 o’clock was required. I still clock my arrows the same way, it is natural and gives better clearance.  Clock all your arrows the same and shoot away.

FYI if you are hitting left, aim right :chuckle:

Love my QAD but the whisker biscuit is a proven performer

It might just be the camera angle, but is your rest lined up with your string and cams?  It looks like the arrow is tweaked to the left slightly.  If that is the case your rest needs to be installed closer to the riser.

I think it’s the camera, the guys at riverside set me up. Everything is coming together better now.

Well turned all my nocks to keep the fletchings from rubbing. Getting way better consistency. Thank you for all the help!!
