Speak it bruh! These "Pro Shops" are why I bought all the stuff needed for the "Pro Shop" I now have in my garage and now I'M THE PRO! Whats up!?
Some will fail because they don’t provide a high level of service and assistance. Pro Shops that go the extra mile have or will develop a loyal customer base who will patronize their store for most items instead of purchasing online.
DUDE! Thank you for this! There are some great shops out there but the amount of DM's I get about tuning issues resulting from Pro Shop ignorance or laziness is incredible
Pats in Jasper Al is garbage
Just had a bow shop tie a dloop on along w some more work I had done there. Come home to find my dloop was off . The guy tied my bottom knot where the top knot should be leaving me extremely nock high out of the bow. The people you trust for knowledge are just as clueless as you are so you might as well learn to do it yourself
Another huge thing people don’t know about paper tuning. I used to compete indoor 300’s. I could paper tune with one release, grab another back tension of a different brand, but same design, and it would tear. I go back to the original release and bullet hole again. So every time you change release brands, you need to paper tune again. They do not all release that string the same.
Always enjoy the in depth video's man! Wish every town had a Bow Rack!
Dude, I am so grateful for this video.
I bought a vxr last April and have taken it to three different bow techs. You would be surprised on how little these guys know. Now that I'm a bit more educated on tuning bows I have realized the importance of learning how to work on your own bow. Invest in a press and tools. Thanks for the video. Definitely learned a bit more
😂😂 man my bow shops around here either discriminate against my brown ass or just don't wanna put in the wrk bc we aren't buddy buddies. I Def got the quick and out the door setup 😂😂🤣☠️, the more you know smdh
Ik I’m late on the comments but your absolutely right. I’ve been to multiple bow shops and I always walk out feeling iffy.
As usual, very informative.Passing on tips like these is super helpful. Thanks
One of your best videos dude. Completely solid 👌
Thanks for the honesty!
Love the videos man. Just getting into archery hunting and its videos like this that make it so easy.
Drove 4 hrs to get an alphamax way back. Shop was suppose to set the DL and time the cams before I got there. Once I got there and asked about it they said yeah it's good to go. Got home and noticed they had the bottom module set at a different DL then the top. I do all my bow work now and don't even bother wasting time at shops anymore.
Thanks Kellen for everything you put on UA-cam, this video relates to me as you know! Also huge thanks for tuning my bow so good that it allowed me to split an arrow already!
My pleasure man. Glad its slingin' laser's for you!
@@InsideOutPrecision couldn't ask for any better! If we go on full lock down you might have to do some more UA-cam live for Q&A again!
Great insight! Man, I have recently been working on my old Z7 and followed the yoke tuning method where they say your string should be perfectly aligned with your idler wheel at full draw. I found that after doing this and set my center shot I was getting a 1" left tear through paper. I put a turn in the right and took at turn out of the right and got a perfect bullet hole without touching my rest! You the man! Have you ever done any single cam tuning videos? There isn't much out there for solid info on this. P.S. I'm having fun at home!!
Great video- Thanks for clarifying those myths. I was shocked when you pulled out the Vulcan.. I have one as well. I bought it new in 2007, it is still a great shooter. It will be going on my Az Bull elk hunt in September !
The first thing you said about the tophats is exactly what I went through with my triax. Literally the reason I sold it, because without a press, it can only be in tune so much and its like only putting a bandaid on the problem.
Thanks for the information about cam lean. The rest of it I've figured out over the years in spite of pro shops.
When I got my bow the tech had me shooting it then making adjustments he’d shoot it then I’d shoot again. I walked out feeling really good about the set up, it feels really solid to me
I needed this video big time right now
Thanks dude! Always love the videos, especially this one. After dealing with "lazy" bow shops for years I started doing my own bow work and your videos have truly helped. This is the first year I have ever shot a bullet hole through paper. My old shops said bullet holes were impossible until you have had years of proper form practice. Well it is completely impossible without a properly tuned bow, something a lot of shops won't spend time with you on. Thanks again.
Joe Mattox Safe Steps Training I did the same thing......I bought a press draw board from last chance a bow holder for omp and a ton of tools but,it paid off within three years.....and I love it.....screw all these bow shops....especially here in NYC
Man you’re a GOD sent 👍🏽!!!! Thank You 🙏 for the valuable information
Ok since my last question I recentered the rest and put two turns in the left yoke and took two out of the right. Pretty much dead on bullet hoke at twenty yards with both field point and broad head. Sorted. Thank you for all the info...I am only a beginner and it is a great help given the lack of pro shops here in Australia to help me.
When I first started shooting bow, My "Pro Shop" set me up with at 28" DL. The kid that was supposed to be some kind of Hoyt tech. (and rather smug) insisted that was my draw length... I knew and could feel something wasn't right so I started watching videos and learning on my own. Come to find out my DL was 30.5", and my bow accommodated that just fine, but this person either didn't know, or was just unwilling to help out..
Thanks for making all these super helpful videos, it's a blessing to have some one that knows and is willing to share.
Great Job...good stuff
Always look forward to your vids mate. About to have my first bow setup/tuned and the fellow said to allow an hour at least so I think he’ll be thorough. I got a traverse with a hamskea so hoping for the best 👍
Nice! Going to be a killer set up.
Inside Out - that is Downtown info to share. Your the Man! Keep'em flying.
As always.....ON POINT!
Thank you. Good video as always.
Awesome info! thanks man.
Hey Kellen, Just getting back into bow hunting after about 25 years, so it's like starting from scratch!! Really enjoy all your videos, great info. Keep up the excellent work!! Much appreciated!!
Me too🤣🙉. Its a new world huh. Sights! 🤓👌
Your vids are money bro! I love my bow shop but I was shooting after a “tune” and this video is giving me dejavu. Expensive tune for zero change in results. I’m working on learning how to do it myself but for now I like to let the pros do it so I don’t Jack it up. But I always appreciate your insight.
This is the reason I stick with my preferred pro shop. I take bow in for a paper tune I shoot the bow through paper and they make adjustable until it bullet holes with me shooting
Great vid . I like the NO BS !
Thanks for more good information!
It’s funny u mentioned the cam lean issue. I recently had to shim my top cam on a pse evo33. I went wayyy too far because I had a pretty bad tear. I stuck it in the drawboard(thank god) and it locked up like a virgins chastity belt. Let’s just say I won’t make that mistake again. Small adjustments make big changes on paper
great advice - thanks
Number 2 is spot on.
Solid.
Thank you! 👌
Folks, this IS ACCURATE AND TRUTHFUL information. And in my experience of 25+ years of compound bow shooting I've honestly had very little issues getting a bow to make bullet holes in paper. I've had Mathews, Bowtech, Elite and PSE. The easiest by far to tune to me has been the PSE. I can not remember ever moving shims on any PSE. BOWS with the yoke system have been the easiest to tune. And sometimes there was a very little lean in the cams. Honestly. I don't understand why so many have trouble getting a bullet hole set up easily. Of coarse the bullet hole thing is just THE STARTING POINT only to get great arrow flight and grouping down range. Best thing I ever did was buy a Last Chance bow vice. People, do whatever you can to get a good bow vice.
Like any retailer, there are some archery shops and bow techs who are either too busy or don’t care about solving a customer’s unique bow problem(s). As a consumer, you have to take responsibility to know enough about your equipment to operate it effectively.
Good factual video. When I tune a bow for someone I tell them to check it to make sure it's tuned for their style of shooting. Just because it's tuned for me doesn't mean it's tuned for them.
Happen to me , that's why I bought my own bow press easy green
Thanks for the details, solid information, now where can I get one of those Tee shirts?
Nice Video! Would love to see the perfect set up on a Mathews. Center shot, nick heights, etc.
Great video thank you !
Great video mate thanks for the info great to know 👍🏹🏹
Thanks so much for this video. Im a first time owner of a relatively cheap Kinetic Mirage compound bow. I had a cam lean for ages (bottom cam, lean right) but it shot true and I could nick tiny points on my targets no problem really. Then one day (yesterday) I decided to fix the cam lean so I watched another random video of how to fix cam leaning right. Did that succesfully, but! no other video mentioned the fact that if I only add twist to the one side to fix the cam lean, it will throw off my timing! And it did! Now my top stringstop had almost 1cm of gap (didnt touch the cable while the bottom did). So here I was again trying to watch videoes on how to fix cam timing now. Then I found your video and you explained it SO well!! Even the tiny little detail of taking out a twist in the opposite cable when adding twist in the first cable when fixing cam lean (Noone else bothers to tell this, wtf kinda important now I know that I understand what will happen lol!). So by simply retracing my steps/twists, I evened out the "twistings" by resetting the twists I put in the first cable and then do it the way you explained, add one, take out one. And now the cam is completely straight, both stringstop is touching the cable at same time, and my shots is on point again :D Im SO happy and grateful for you fixing my bow and also teaching me those basics. Thanks again for what you do man. Deeply appreciated.
Great video good info
There's few things worse than a lazy archery shop! They really hurt new shooters that are trusting them to steer them in the right direction.
Team Hoyt @vintage!! My backup is a turbohawk and it still shoots very well.
Most, shops, just call themselves a pro shop..
Back in the day, we had to go to the company, to get training, before we could sale their bows..
My Invicta likes the top a touch fast, worked on it for a month and a fast top was the only thing that fixed it. Shoots amazing now
I just had the issue debating whether or not to allow cam lean to keep the bullet hole. Thanks for the info
Great video
Very useful thanks
Hoyt bows are notorious for low tears, and the only way to fix this is to put the bottom drawstop 1/8" away from the cable when the top is touching, and then pull until the bottom touches the cable. There is no difference between tiller tuning and just moving the nock point up with the drawstops touching at the same time - you're still gonna get a nock high setup. This low tear that Hoyt is notorious for is the reason QAD made the TL1 launcher, so that the vanes aren't hitting the launcher at the shot with both cams timed. This tuning issue with Hoyt occurs in all grades of their bow line, from the least expensive right up to their flagship.
I shot bowtech , and bow tuning is really easy for me any time !
During quarantine mode. Would be be willing to do a detailed video on how to tune a bow, time your cams, etc. I just bought three bows from a local shop. Three Mathew’s, two of them for kids and one for myself and everything you just described happed to me. I am one that really likes to do my pens stuff because I like to learn and understand it all. There are a lot of videos already on it, but you come off as being very knowledgeable and would love to see how you tune a bow.
We have a paid video series coming out shortly with all that info!
Inside Out Precision does the video include how to grip a bow?
@@toddlymburner5783 aka If you grip.. You are doing it wrong :-)
Thanks ,stay safe
Awesome t shirt, what brand is it? I ‘m from Montreal Canada and can’t find a shop to tune my bow. Getting my self set up to do it myself. Thanks for the great tips and info. You would not believe the struggles I’ve gone threw. We are talking about some pretty big mistakes. Bolts combing loose after 1hr of shooting.
greate video love the info
I agree with everything except the cam timing on Hoyt bows. It isn’t generally done for tears but for forgiveness esp when shooting a hinge to tighten the grouping with varying pressure. You actually want the top cam hitting slightly early and by slightly I mean just enough to see light through the bottom cam.
Also sometimes a half twist will only get you close to perfect, in that case gap the bottom stop.
The other issue is that tiller tuning or limb bolt tuning on a past parallel bow does little to nothing, timing is the better option.
The main effect it will have on paper will be that it will tear cleaner/ more consistent at different back pressure. Similar to torque tuning a rest for left rights for forgiveness.
I saw these results not only on the line but also through my hooter shooter inducing different levels of back pressure.
Thank you.
Can you do more reviews soon... releases, sights, rests, stabilizers... etc
Thank you
Dude, love the videos.... Making corona lock down bearable.
Like your video's because of your video's i just ordered me a Prime Black 5 Today. Sorry I couldn't buy it from the Bow Rack but I live 6 hrs away.
Best explanation of how to adjust cam lean & vertical nock travel I’ve ever watched. (While at the same time explaining how the adjustments change/affect the tear.) ~ Thank you!
thanks bro
Right, I've heard people say the same thing!
Thank you
Thanks for the help. Where did you get that t shirt?
Where is your shop located? Might be worth a trek when upgrading (once we are good to travel again) to a shop that sounds as professional as yours. Nothing but big box stores anywhere close to me that staff far too many uneducated and unmotivated individuals for me to have any faith (based on consistent experiance) in any purchase or setup help. And thanks so much for your videos with absolute top notch tips and pitfall warnings for us early to intermediate archers.
Great video --- tune the bow to the shooter!
Elite has built their brand on cam lean and they're one of the best bow manufacturers in the world. So yeah I'd say you're right on about cam lean
Ran across your vid. Like the things you said. Thats why i dont let no one work on my cars or bow. Its like tou say dont know what they did to it and say its all fix and when you get home and find other issues that they screw up
They have the cash in there hand and you cant get it back
Ok good video, I've heard some of the same things and your right, not true. I'm wondering about a different cam system, it's the Evolve cam by PSE, I have a 2019 PSE Stealth Carbon Air. On a system like this is some cam lean acceptable? It doesn't look that bad but I just got it and I am still waiting to set it up. Hopefully I won't have to wait that long until my pro shop opens back up. Thanks, Danny
I used to think cam lean was the issue with all my shooting and tuning woes. Then I learned how to properly shoot a bow. Cam lean isn't the big deal that I thought it was.
How about a video on creep tuning
I wish I lived close to your shop I always am tuning my shooting but don’t have a bow press to try things out ,I don’t have a good shop within a hour drive
Nice video 👌🏻
thanks for the video, incredibly well explained.
But is a 1 cam better than 2 cams, and to adjust?
I live in Belgium and we do not have the option to shoot anywhere in a field or meadow. Also that ATA in the States, that is something that we do not know or have.
We go to a store and buy a bow. Everything else is up to us., Adjustment, pounds, draw length. So everything. A pro shop is not here either. So we have to buy everything and hope that we can shoot well with it. We have to order a bowpress like that of last chance archery in America. And that is expensive, very expensive with the transport to Belgium.
I think the reason why most shops just take the bow into the back, "tune" it and give it back is that they know that the shooter is a novice and he will get tears with any setup because his grip and form are inconsistent, but they dont want to tell it straight to the person to not sound mean and offensive.
Yeah we just work with them on all that stuff. Only takes an extra few minutes and sets them up for success in the long run
Lord of the Toads appreciates your Explanation, my dear minion
Shop I bought my Reign 7 from here in Oklahoma pulled the same crap a few years ago. He through everything on it and was done in his mind. I asked if I could shoot it through paper and he said it wasnt needed. He even started to throw a fit about needing to change the draw length from 29 to 30. This shop was over an hour drive for me too. Being a lefty leaves me limited on options so i made the drive. They have the biggest selection of bows of all brands that Ive ever seen anywhere, by far. But I will never go back there. I will settle and shoot a brand Im not real crazy about thats closer to home before i ever go back there.
Id just buy the bow there and then get it set up at your local shop!
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts and input. Im going crazy. I have a Halon pro comp and found that the new string is extending to the point of impacting the cable guide. Small pieces of the kisser was being left behind on the guide so I removed the kisser incase the weight of it is a factor cause I have no idea. Never had this issue with a bow and worried the string will be compromised, this is my only outlet to decompress from life. Please help when and if u can. Love ur vids and much respect.
Awesome video! I'm having an issue with my right fletching touching my riser when shooting. I'm shooting a Hoyt defiant turbo, with a QAD dropaway and I'm running blazer vanes on FMJ's. Do you have any tips?
Is it hitting the riser or the launcher arm on your QAD? If your rest is not timed correctly, you can get contact with the launcher arm. If it’s truly contacting riser, is your center shot adjusted correctly? 13/16” at a baseline. You could also try switching to a lower profile vane if these aren’t your issue
This is what I am scared of I am a new archer and I feel like my pro shop just takes advantage since I am new but sadly where I live it’s the only shop others are like an hour away
I have an opinion of 2 local bow shops.
#1 says "its tuned from the factory" and only tunes by center shot.
#2 is an excellent Bowsmith, but seems to want to select who gets to buy the brand that he sells.
Rock vs. Hard place.
Great discussion....but could you clarify something?....Tiller Tuning effect on cams.......if you put a hoyt's cams both "in time", such that both draw stops hit cables at the same time....If you "tiller tune" after that (let's say there is a nock high/low condition and you don't want to/can't adjust nock pt or rest anymore due to clearance issues), and with slight tiller tune (adjusting limb bolts) you correct the nock travel condition....if you then place the perfectly tuned bow back on draw board, won't the cams be hitting the stops at a different time now? Thanks!
What does it help with when I tune a bow?should I get my bow tuned I don’t know if my bow has bin tuned. Can a bow get tuned more than once? I only shoot target with my bow. Should I take it to a archery shop to get my bow tuned
So quick question. The shop I purchased my bow from didn't check anything other than squaring the rest and nock point. They didn't even want to shoot it trough paper until I requested and insisted on it. When I shot the paper, it shot a bullet hole with a fletched arrow. Since I know they didn't check timing after swapping the mods out or top hat alignment, should I be worried about my bow poasibly not being perfectly tuned?
Shops are going to be a thing of the past at some point and it’s being driven by bad shops. If you have a good shop in your area you are very very very lucky.
Facts
Most of this sounds pretty familiar. We have a shop near us that does everything that you just stated.
What about the Bear Cruzer G2? Can you do a cam tuning/setup for out of the box? I just got this bow and my local shop adjusted the cams and timed them but when I bare shaft paper tune it kicks up and to the right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You talked about cam lean.. is that true for a VXR ?.. my ATA is 28”.. one side is 28 the other is 28-1/8. What’s your thoughts?? I’ve shot around 100 arrows through the bow since I’ve had it. I purchased it brand new.
nice T shirt! :)
Hello from Australia!
I hope you can help me.
I am shooting a Bear divergent at 60 pounds. I have a hamskea trinity hunter pro rest. I shoot Easton axis 5mm 300 spine arrows at 30 inches with 100 grain field tips.
At centre shot the bow has a whooping tail left tear. To correct I have to move my rest so far right I cannot get the sight on target at twenty yards and still see the sight housing and ai must be close to touching the cables with the fletches.
Where do I start with this problem? The yoke?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Craig
I have the exact same bow , what about the bottom cam , is it normal for bottom cam lean on this particular hoyt
I just had my pse ferrocity re-strung because the old string (about 1.5 years old) messed up. The cable on the top cam had some serving binding up in a ball and eventually jumped off... fast forward to my new string cutting the serving and doing the same thing 2 weeks after being done. Looked to me like too far of a cam lean any thoughts? He couldn't get a right tear out of it either.
You mention how cam lean and cam timing affect paper tuning. Do you have a video where you go in depth in paper tuning?
Im on my 3rd bow now and my proshop owner said that he only paper tunes as a last resort. He said that if everything is square and in time , shouldnt need to put through paper. My Elite Kure should arrive any day now ( depending on this virus ), should i insist on paper tune?
My bud just ordered a new VXR and it came in last week. Proshop owner told him the same thing when they got it geared up on the weekend. In ideal conditions ( 20 yards in doors ) he has broke 3 arrows in 50 or less shots. 2 broken in half and a robin hood that you would have to see to believe haha. Its shooting very well.
It seems like the shop I go to is always cutting corners when they can. I wonder sometimes if there is a certain type of customer they like and other types they don’t want to help. For example, if a target guy capable of shooting 300’s walks in they’ll get preferential treatment over a guy who is asking about his “starter” bow.
