bare shaft tuning-possible timing issue?

[hunter_mike]

I attempted to bare shaft tune my bow (hoyt x-tec) today and I am completely baffled now. Trying to achieve good arrow flight as i was not happy with the twirling flight i had. I have 70# draw weight 28" draw and using carbon express terminator express 6075 which is the correct size arrow for this combination.

1. I began setting up my new string loop using a string square, making sure my nocking point was level with the bolt hole for my rest.

2. I put my rest in an initial position by eyeballing it the best I could.

3. I began bare shaft tuning. Using a bare shaft I took my first two shots at 8 yards. i eventually backed up to 30 yards so that I would be able to watch my arrow flight.

4. Using my initial rest position, I watched the arrow flight. Vertically, the arrow flight was good. Consistently, my nock trailed to the right every shot. So I moved my rest to the left of initial position. This worsened the flight.

5.So then i moved the rest to the right of initial position. Arrow flight got better. Nock still trailing to the right.

6.So i moved my rest to the right again. Arrow flight got even better. Nock still trailing to the right.

7. I moved my rest as far to the right as possible. Arrow flight was at its best but still not great. Nock still trailing to the right.

8. The problem now is that i can see that my rest is obviously WAY to the right of my actual centershot.

Anyone know whats going on?

I am thinking that either I don't have a clue what i'm doing or my bow is a pile of junk. I am posting this on a few other forums as well. :helpsmilie:

cam lean issue. the string is traveling too far in a lateral motion. need to put it on a drawboard to check the lean and the stops. stops need to be hitting the cable at the same time and the cams should be straight up and down at full draw. start there.
