help with set up my Bob Lee
« on: July 23, 2009, 10:42:00 AM »
I needs some help I just got my bow back from Bob Lee, Rob rebuilt for and made a new set of limbs there are 46@28 I am shooting Easton Axis 500 at 29.5 with 100 gr brass inserts and 165 gr point my brace hight 7 1/2 my bare shaft is hit low right I know I will have to move my nocking point down. Now for the right impact is this because I need to build up the side plate or is it because of the size diameter of the my shaft or is it truly a week shaft.Blake

Move your nock point before working on spine.

If you are rt handed and hitting rt, your arrow is weak. Try going down on point weight.

I've got a 48@28 Bob Lee and any 500 class arrow with a 100gr insert plus point would be too weak for me to shoot.

Try a 100 or 125 grain point and see what that looks like.

Blake,
I'm currently shooting a 29.25" 2114 alum. with 125grain points.  I'll probably move up to a 2018 or 2115 and a heavier point soon in preparation for hunting season.

I have tried Easton Carbonaeros, Beeman Hawk and Beeman Black Max MFX.  The Carbonaeros and Hawk shafts shoot good cut to 29.5" using the regular insert and 175gr points.  I never could get the MFX shafts to fly right but I didn't give them much of a chance.  I think they would be a real good hunting arrow...good weight and small diameter.

Just measured the brace height on my bow...a hair over 7.5".
