I took it out last weekend, sighted in and walked a couple 15 target 3d courses. the center shot was way out side of center. so much in cat that I thought I would need to move axle shims.
I had not adjusted the LAS which move the limb tips slightly for tuning. I was gob smacked with the small amount of adjustment needed to get the string centered in the grip and behind a center mounted blade rest.. less than a full turn on top and less than a half turn on the bottom and it is as perfectly centered as my eye could see.
oddly I could get a decent paper hole, even off like it was.
very small rest moves got the bottom pic. and the rest of the holes were not giant either. I will be fine tuning this weekend and expect it to be hammering! Even though I was getting a good hole, french tuning was a struggle and eventually I gave up until I could get it centered. The further out the more left it went, didn't matter much what I did with the rest.
Anyways, my first messing about with the LAS was positive and I am impressed to say the least.
One point of interest it I was moving it the wrong way at first pulling the cam towards me to move the string away from me like a limb on a recurve. Then I realized that a cam has the string position see sawed on the axle so the bottom of the cam goes opposite of the top of the cam, which is where the sting groove would be on a 'curve.. ahhh problems all solved.
Before I go, and this will be of interest in those who go to IBO worlds. Mt Sunapee in NH has put in an archery 3D course as part of their Adventure Park. They have all new Reinhart Targets , they only have 15 at this point. they are nice targets Elk, Moose Mt Goat and Dall sheep plus many more. the course is challenging , and excellent practice for 7 Springs PA. you take the lift up and walk to the course, it is a bit away from the mountain bike and hiking trails, with practice bags just near target 1. all this for 10 bucks. worth it for the physical conditioning at a very minimum .
As you may know i am off the FB , but I do have a twitter acct. I plan on using that to announce deals for straps and other items of interest. InsideOutAcademy can be found @HD_Castle
that is where this Twit Tweets!
