xzavyer Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I took ur alls advice nd went to youtube to sight my bow in nd got my 10 nd 20yrd pins hitting dead on got my elevation sighted. I just dnt kno if it would be better if i went ahead nd put my peep sight on. But my vanes r a lil crazy lookin but not tore up. There just black were they been hitting the other strings. Just need a lil help. Nd would it mttr if i switched from 7in vanes dwn to like 4in vanes would i hold tighter groups or would i hve to resight it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropTine49 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Using a peep sight will definately make the bow more accurate. It's like having a rear sight on a rifle with open sights. Where your vanes are hitting the cables, depending on the rest but with a biscuit you can cock the arrow just a little and keep them out of the black part on the bottom and help miss the cables. As far as vane length goes, I will not shoot anything different than a 2 inch BLAZER Vane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcot2773 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Ok so two things jump out at me right off. Fletching contact is never ok. Fletching contact on your cable means out of tune. Something is not right with that set up at all. No peep. Peep sight will indeed help you. However I know some people that do not shoot with a peep and probably never will but that is personal preference. I need some set up specs to help you out. Bow make and model, draw length, draw weight, arrow brand and what size (300, 5575 etc), arrow length and tip weight. 7 inch vanes? have never seen them. Try blazers or fusions. Fusions are 3 inches and blazers are 2 inches but the hold the profile of a 4 inch vane and perform much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 what's been said is right. not sure if you're doing some of this stuff or having an archery shop do it. having a peep will help you aim and have you draw back to the same spot on your face. if you add it later you may have to resight your pins, because it may change how you aim. you should read the different threads in the bowhunting room, tips we've posted could be helpful. probably better off this close to the season to simply bring it to an archery shop and have them tune it.

As far as the fletching contact with cables, I changed the cable slide on my Truth 2, and did have slight contact with the cables (nothing out of tune, no cam lean and paper and group tuned great) but I did have to shoot kind of a cocked vane to the right a fraction of an inch from straight up, to get the tolerance that I needed. Through the WB this was not a problem, but I could see where with another brand of rest this would not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcot2773 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm spoiled to FLX guard bows lol. If they hit on that system something isn't right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xzavyer Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) How would u go about stoping it from hitting. I shoot a 04pse nova exstreme, 28in draw length, 55lbs draw weight, 30in arrow, 125 grain field tips, carbon fury arrows 6075. I have the peep sight to put on it just waiting to get paid so i can put it on. I have one of those cable guards but when i pull the string bsck with arrow in i can tell its rubbing when i pull it back. My vanes r 4in but im wanting to switch to 2in and a lower grain broadhead but tht will be next year. i also have the nap cable guard.

dbHunterNY Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 your center shot could be off. your bow is an older style, but some that aren't straight and have a bend to them can be loosened and rotated to move cables away. that's done at a last resort, but almost always never needed. like said depending on what kind of arrow rest you have, you can rotate the nock on your carbon arrows so vanes that hit are pointed more up or down. basically when you get paid and if you have a place put the peep sight in, then they could tell you which one is the best way to fix it and then do it for you.

jcot2773 Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 New cable guard probably threw the cables out just far enough that the vanes nip the cables... be almost willing to put money on it. also, your arrows are nut cut to length are they? Just just glue inserts in and put heads on them? Not real familiar with carbon fury arrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
