I recently bougt 3 older bows, and am having fits trying to get them tuned. They are as follows. Hoyt stick on rest.
Ben Pearson Palomino, 66" #30@28, absolutely stunning bow. New string.
Blackhawk Apollo, 66", #44@28. Osage and black Phenolic, rug rest and plate.
Indian Archery, #40@28, 58", deep pistol grip, locator grip, rug rest. Looks like black walnut, with lots of birdseye in the wood.
I have mostly been shooting 35/55 GT's, 2000 vapors,2018-xx75's,Easton Carbons, 8.4's, all w/4 inch feathers. I finally got the #44 Blackhawk to shoot a Axis that was footed, great flight. I am getting a lot of tail whip, nock high on target. They are grouping well, just awful flight and that messes with my mind something awful when I am so used to getting good flight out of the other 12 bows that I own and shoot regularly in the #40-50 range. Is there a knack to tuning these older, longer bows. All replies appreciated.
