Decided to paper tune
Well paper tuning sure showed me a lot. Pretty bad I'd say. So I know to correct the vertical first. That being said do I just force my d loop down cuz it's pretty tight or do I make a new d loop?

Are you getting nock pinch?
Do you tie in your d-loop? Have someone check at full draw if your nock has slight up/down movement. LC |
Here's what it looks like

Does your arrow sometimes feel like it's lifting up as you draw back? I tie in both the top and the bottom on my bows. Then the d-loop stays put it won't close over time. https://i.imgur.com/sPQltR7.jpg LC |
What do you use to tie in a nocking point? Serving material?

I redid my d loop. Kept adjusting it down but no change.

Maybe my spine is too stiff? Shooting 340 spine, 28" @60 lbs

What bow are you shooting? How far away is the paper you are shooting? Is it pulled really tight? LC |
2016 Hoyt powermax, paper is pretty tight, could maybe be a bit tighter. Shooting at maybe 4-5 metres

I did a walk back tune yesterday at 40-30-20 and it was bang on

There are some really great threads on archery talk about draw length, form and reducing torque. |

Proof is in the pudding if you walk back tune and it's good...it's good, shoot broadheads and if the POI is good you are good. LC |

I've found walk back and broadhead poi to be most accurate with my set up. Paper tune would probably be more for getting things close after setting up the equipment but I think it would be a step backward doing paper tune after walk back.
I'm no pro though and don't charge for any bow services |
paper tune
I had a Mathews that I could not paper tune. I shoot right hand and the tear was tail left. The proshop noticed a little cam lean and put 2 twists in the right yoke and that fixed it.

I have tuned a couple Chargers (identical to the Powermax) and the yoke adjustments are easy and critical to a proper tune.
|
So to me it looks like my cam is slightly leaning left. This tells me I need to take some twists out of the left yoke and add some to the right? Can I do this without a press? I watched a video of a guy using his hand to squeeze the down cable so he could insert a screwdriver in the cam to stop it going back to its rest position and he adjusted his yokes. I'm not sure if this is good idea or bad.

Don't mess with the strings or cables without a press. Not sure with Hoyt but with Bowtech there is always pre-lean. Let the paper tune tell you what to do.

Well I've got an appt tomorrow with a local shop. Hopefully have it sorted out there.

I'm pretty sure my Hoyt is untunable. Either that or I suck at it. Probably the second one. So I went to a shop in Glendon to get help paper tuning. At the end I had bullet holes like I should. Problem is, is that I was maxed out left adjust on my rest and maxed out left on my sight. So happy with the bullet holes, I went to the range and was about 18" left of target at 20 yards with no more adjust on the sight to compensate. So I brought the bow back to where it was when I started and I'm hitting target but arrows sticking out in all directions. Maybe it's my rest. I don't know. I'm thinking of buying a new rest or driving the 3 hours to the city to see if Jimbows can help.
I'm at a loss on what to do, and two weeks til my elk trip. |
