oz31p Report post Posted September 13, 2010 I dabbled with archery tackle last january with a older overdraw bow that was given to me. For a week I used a borrowed 08 dimond stud. Well I jumped in head first today. I tryed about every bow in my price range and was set on a hoyt turbohawk, untill I shot the pse bow maddness xs. About a dozen arrow and I had the gentleman at the shop set it up with a new ripcord rest and new carbon arrows it should be close to ibo as the arrows are around 360 with a 100g tip. I'm pumped but he wanted to keep it overnight so tune it up so ill have to wait to shot it untill tommorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grizzly Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Congratulations and welcome to the ranks. What is your draw length? Dont get too hung up on how close you can get to IBO, you will find that the heavier your arrows are the quieter you will be at the shot. I have also found that heavier arrows tend to group better than lighter ones. I think you will have alot of fun figuring out all of that cool stuff by yourself and seeing what works and what doesnt. Hopefully you will be posting up some pics in Dec of a nice deer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cohofishing Report post Posted October 31, 2010 Hi, I shoot a pse madness and heard a sound right of the bat. Drove me nuts untill I found it. Check the tiny set screws that are on the string dampener. It's the one's that adjust the length of the dampener itself. Tighten them up and you might get rid of the noise. It did for me.

oz31p Report post Posted October 31, 2010 I was shooting right next to a block wall. I think it was just the rest coming down but echoing from a few feet away. I can't wait to chase some deer around the desert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
