B50 & FastFlight tuning issues???
« on: April 05, 2014, 07:02:00 PM »
Today I tried to tune a new FF string.  No matter what I did with brace height and tip weight I could not stop tail high and nock left with the FF (went through all the tip weights).  Once I put my old string (B50 back on I had perfect flight.

I shoot 400 Beman and draw to 31" with a 125gr tip.

Do any of you have any thoughts as to why I can get the other string arrow combo to tune with the B50 string and not the FF string?
Here are a few things about me:

I enjoy Hunting, fishing, raising goats, biking and kayaking. Love living life with my wife and 4 kids out in the country.

Here are my bows and such:
~ Black Widow Bows 66" PLX Longbow 47.5@31"  161fps with 600gr arrow
~ St. Patrick Lake Longbows (SwiftStyk ~ 64" (50#@31" = 161fps 600gr arrow)
~ Hitman Traditional Stykbows #1 (Recurve) (63" 52lb @31") ~

Pad your strike plate out with the FF or lighten your tip weight. You are probably gaining 15 fps.

Rubber bands vs cable in difference there...
