New Bear Grizzly & Intro

[eidsvolling]

Welcome! Can't tell you anything about 3555s. But I can tell you that my first grown-up bow was a Grizzly, back when Embarrass still had a couple of grocery stores. (My mom grew up there and we made frequent trips from the Cities.) I had another one until very recently, and I have a high opinion of them.

On shooting in the cold – I've had real good luck using these with a shooting glove. Not sure how well they'd work with a tab:    Cabela\\'s Big-Game Fleece Glomitts    

Enjoy your bow and good luck getting some venison next fall!

Well I had been fighting this for a little while now. It shot great when I had a heigher brace height then I noticed the string had stretched enough to lower the brace height to 7.5".  :rolleyes:  

I raised it to 8-1/8" and still was having problems. So I kept working the height up to 8.5" and nock point to +1/2" and it seems to be shooting better. I noticed a big improvement when I went to that.

However I wonder is that is too much? The range for this bow is 7.5"-8.5" and a suggested nock point of +1/8".

Still seems like it need a little work, or maybe it is me. Hehe.

Are these setting OK for the bow? Is it OK to be at the far end of the brace height? Should I try removing the nock and go down a bit?

I wish I had someone here to give me a hand in person. But I guess there is only one guy in the local club shooting traditional, and no one has heard from him in some time.

Any help would be mucho appreciado.

Thanks,
Dave

If the arrows like 8.5" it is the right brace, but the +1/8" refers to the arrow and if your nock is the same width as your arrow, then the bottom(under the arrow nock) would be plus 1/8". Not all bows(even of the same make are equal) and not all people release the same. I would look at that 1/8" to the bottom nocking point as a minimum.
