This is all easy stuff, no big deal. Don't sweat it. Take it to a reputable bow shop, or even maybe a local bow guru, and it is all a 15 minute fix if anything is off. It may be just you torquing your bow hand. If you pins are sighted in and they are straight up and down, walk back tuning probably won't help. Go poke around at www.archerytalk.com and they have a ton of helpful information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 my pins are all in a line up and down. sorry for the questions but what is... wall back tuning walk back tuning is a great tuning method used to get your center shot. you can shoot X's at 20 yards, but if you center shot is off, when you go back to say 40 yards, you'll be shooting left or right. Start by using a bag or block type target use tape or a string with a weight at the end or draw a line down the center of the target. shoot a couple arrows at 20 yards with your 20 yard pin, or what ever distance you plan on using it for (shoot at the line you made). step back 5-10 yards, shoot a couple more with the SAME pin(again at the line). step back 5-10 more yards, again use the SAME pin(at line) your if your line of arrows look like this: / then move your rest right, if it is like this \ move it left, repeat the process after moving it each time until you get it like this l...(move in small increments) hope I explained that right...pretty simple to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 The berger hole is the hole in the riser near where your arrow rest bolts to. Call Hoyt or call your local proshop and ask them what the center shot should be. It is different from bow to bow, but each model is usually specific within its own group.

1997xltlimited Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I think I might try the wall back tuning first before I take it anywhere. If I change this will this cause my sights to change so its more in the middle? Also so it doesnt matter where the straight line is on the target in the end. At that point is when I will move my sight is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 sorry guys, but walkback tuning isnt going to work if he shooting at 20 yards and is 4 to 5 inches left of center. doing the walkback method, he will continue to shoot left badly all the way out to 40 yards. we already know he is off 4 to 5 inches at 20, so why even bother with walkback until he gets the center shot close at 20 first. my question is who put your drop away rest on? im betting its way off and needs to be moved right. start at 10 yards. shoot arrows, make your best shot possible.. if they are left of center, then move the rest to hit center. once thats ok, then move out to 20 yards. again make your best shots and if your still hitting left of center, then move the rest slightly to hit the center of the target. once you get it close at 20 yards, then you could do the walkback method. remember when you move your rest right, to only move it slightly. sometimes a 1/8 inch at the rest makes a big differance at 20 yards. pictures could help if their possible.

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 pretty sure someone mentioned for him to set his center shot at the recommended distance and go from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ptbuckpa Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 You will have to move the sight once you get the rest set properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 pretty sure someone mentioned for him to set his center shot at the recommended distance and go from there Definitely have your centershot checked.

1997xltlimited Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 so move the rest till I am hitting center then do the wall back tuning correct? or maybe it sounds like I should buy a matthews instead or maybe not:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 so move the rest till I am hitting center then do the wall back tuning correct? or maybe it sounds like I should buy a matthews instead or maybe not:D Who originally set your bow up, you or a buddy, or was it a proshop? If a proshop did it, I would have him re-check it for its set-up, and paper tune it. This should take care of the centershot issue, as long as it is a reputable proshop and the guy knows what he is doing. This may take care of your problem and you won't even need to mess with walk back tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
