Introduction/ my new Omega longbow

[jt85]

Welcome from Oklahoma and you will not regret putting down the compound.

[Nick Adornati]

Got some arrows in.. For now, just got some basics.. Cabelas Stalker Extreme 55/70s - full lengths, fairly certain they are 31.5".  I am starting off with 100 grain tips.

They shoot OK side to side, but I notice at about 15/20 yards the tail of the arrow wags up and down..

I shoot 3 under.  The bottom of my nock is 1/2" above sqaure - therefore the top of the arrows sit right under that point.  It seems the fletching is hitting the shelf, you can see where it rubs in the pic below.  Other than that, it flys fairly straight.  Advice? Is my nock too low? Kegan tillered the bow for 3 under.

Regarding your question on arrow flight-- it's hard to tell from the pics, but from the first pic in your last post, it looks like your brace height is pretty low.  I think you said in an earlier post that your arrows have 4" fletching; if that's true, it looks to me like your brace height may be low.  I have one of Kegan's Omega Originals (same model as yours) as well, and I shoot 5" fletching-- I brace my bow so that the fletches just clear the shelf & sight window (maybe 1/4" clearance between front of feathers and the sight window).  And I tend to like low brace heights because I have a long draw.  With your fletches being only 4", it looks like your Omega is braced even lower than mine.  Just a thought, I could well be wrong (and often am    ).

Hello Nick from jersey, very nice looking bow, what part of jersey are you from ?

[Nick Adornati]

Correct the fletching is 4". I did not mess with the brace height. It is the original string that came with the bow.

I am from east brunswick area

I can measure the brace height. I did originally, I don't remember what it was tho.

[Nick Adornati]

Just double checked the brace height. It's 6.5"

My bows aren't omegas, but they seem to like 7.125 - 7.250.

[Nick Adornati]

Just twisted up the string... To 6 7/8". Ill see how that shoots Friday

Welcome. Don't forget every twist changes your nock point. I would go with tied on nock points until you get it all tuned. And just try a few shots with the cock feather in, it gives the bottom feathers better shelf clearance.

Pretty bow. You are probably gonna need a heavier head.  Arrow probably a bit stiff.  Just a guess.  Kegan should be able to tell you a good spot to start with brace.
