BowJoe Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 How close is considered "in specs" on a Mathew's Outback and is the 13/16" really that close on center for the Outback? Not sure where to put this post but It has to do with bows so... Also, if it looks like the string has been stretched is it better to just twist the string back into specs of both the ATA and Brace height or just replace the string. My bow is a little off on both marks and a few string twists should fix the problem but need expert oppinions. Too short on the Brace height and too long on the ATA.

Straight Shooter Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Re: What\'s considered \"in Specs\"? Twist your strings, they aren't worn, just strechted. It's common with any bow, but seems to be more critical of the Outbacks. My brother has two of them and he has had to do this a couple of times all ready with his older one.

Chrud Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Re: What\'s considered \"in Specs\"? I had to get my Switchback set back into spec after a couple hundred shots. Hasn't moved since. With any new bow or string you'll want to shoot it a couple hundred times to let the string stretch/settle and get it set back to spec.

ScottyLuck Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Re: What\'s considered \"in Specs\"? On the Outback get the ata set exactly at 31.5" and let the brace height fall where it will. Make sure the cam is in time as well. Also, all measeurements are taken with the limb bolts Maxed out. The 13/16" measurement is a starting point. It may or may not be what you'll end up with. My Outback tuned at 13/16". To check the timing check to se if the holes in the cam are parallel to the string. Below is a pic of how to check the timing.

BowJoe Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: What\'s considered \"in Specs\"? That's friggin awsome. In all of the articles and books I have read, nobody showed me that little trick. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: What\'s considered \"in Specs\"? I just tried that measurement and it worked. My string is stretched and that's what's messing up my SPecs. What my original question was, is being 1/8 of an inch off ok or does it have to be exact. I know on the Mathew's specs sheet for the Outback, is says "appoximately" everywhere but that doesn't say what's considered out of specs. I now know that I am out of specs but how anal should I be about it. Remember I like bullet holes and dead on at 50 yds. I think I just answered my own question. Thanks ScottyLuck.

Thjere is a ton of info, just like that for all the Mathews bows. Scotty is a mod over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyLuck Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: What\'s considered \"in Specs\"? Joe, by being 1/8" off on the OB it will still shoot fine. However you will not be able to reach max poundage and your suppressors may wear a bit faster than if it was in spec. The OB likes to have the ata dead on.
