WStreblo Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Bought the Hoyt Vector 32 dbHunterNY was selling. Sweet bow, fast and quiet. I'm having a heck of a time tuning it. Spent a good 2 hours paper tuning and doesn't seem like the adjustments I'm making with the rest and nock point are doing much. Anybody had similar issues with Hoyt or any other bow? Heck maybe it's me but my other Hoyt wasn't an issue but it shoots close to 30fps slower than this Vector. I'm using a NAP Carbon Apache drop away rest. Input is appreciated. P.S. Took the bow into Dicks Sporting Goods... I ended up teaching their bow tech how to paper tune and how to tie a d loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smha6784 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Tuning trouble I was thinking bout buying that one lol, you got me wondering so I did a little research. Seems your bow and mine are similar when it comes to tuning. Which way are your tears and how drastic are they ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smha6784 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Tuning trouble Was it always slight or is that where you got it to by moving rest and nock point ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 should've asked me... first thing that's most important. DON'T TAKE IT TO Dick's Sporting Goods! ...unless you know the bow tech. just to start off you should bottom out the limb bolts if you back them out at all. I didn't really touch the bow at all so you should check the tiller, cam timing, and rotation. that should kill any or almost all vertical nock travel and any low tear. unless your arrows are .300" spine or stiffer if you're paper tuning, getting a tear that's "slightly" low and left but a 1/4" or less don't worry about it. when you broadhead tune or group tune at distances you'll straighten anything out, but it may just be the flex in the arrow.

Straight Shooter Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 should've asked me... first thing that's most important. DON'T TAKE IT TO Dick's Sporting Goods! . Agree! These guys are not Pros, just some one who has an archery shop job because they know a LITTLE about bows. Be sure and start out like DB said and make sure tiller is set, crucial for nock travel. Then go to your rest for arrow squareness. To be honest, I have never been an advocate of paper tuning. I have set countless bows up without flinging them through a piece of paper. Just make sure all of the above said by DB is set and you should be good. I did switch from WB to QAD HD this year on both my hunting bows and those boogers are a beast to fine tune. Stick with it and you'll get them flying right. Arrow square is the upmost importance on drop away rest. BTW are you shooting cock vane up or down?

WStreblo Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Tuning trouble I got it grouping... I got some arrows to replace now. I shoot cock vane down. Thanks for the input fellas, getting close to deer killing time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 good to hear it. newer whisker biscuits have stiffer bristles on the bottom center and many drop away rest mfg recommends that the cock vane goes up. however, if tuned right you can shoot a cock vane in any direction. cock vane up just helps with better clearance though so that's how I set my bows up.
