Hey guys, I recently picked up a PSAII 56# @ 28". My draw length is about 28.5". I shoot split finger which the bow is tillered for. I need help. I CANNOT get this thing tuned. Before I tell you guys what my set up is, I would like to see how you would set it up just to see if I am in the ball park. I love everything about this bow, but it's got me frustrated. So I'm all ears.

Id get some of the heavier gpi carbons made for trad. Id prolly try a full length 400 for more weight. the stiffer spines are more gpi. might even need a 100 grain insert but thats where Id start.

Gold Tips 55/75 cut to 30-29 1/2" with 225-250 gr up front.Thats my set up for my PSA-III 55@28 and I draw a heavy 28".Widows can be testy with their arrow choice.

When you say "cant get it tuned", what exactly is the bow "doing" that you dont like?
How I would set it up, and this is just a WAG, CE 250's, 30"+, with 175 grain field points.
I would start with brace height in about the middle of what Widow recomends.
If that didnt work or I couldnt get it really "RIGHT" I would call and ask the folks at Widow monday morning. Posts: 1803 | From: Jasper, AL | Registered: Sep 2009

Yes about there plus maybe a little length or weight.

Thanks guys!! Here is what my current set up is. Im shooting CX Heritage 250's cut 29" bop with a 2" aluminum footing. I've tried everything I could think of from front loading with 300 up front right down to a 125 gr tip. The arrows seem week even with a b50 string. (big time fish tail) I can shoot these arrows off my other 55# bow with a fast flight string and 145 gr point and they fly perfect. I was thinking along the same lines as stevewills and bumping up to 350 heritage as I think it needs a heavy spine. I sure appreciate all the info!! Thanks again

Many combinations possible. As I remember the widow handbook will direct you with the tuning, bare shafting ett., how your arrow is fletched and passes through the window will make a difference as well. A good bow shop will have you fitted and tuned in 30 minutes.
