erm... just seen this video & I don't get why you've shimmed the cams, surely the set adjustment system is to cater for cam position ie to adjust the cam & limbs left/right.... there's no need to shim anything
@@michaelbaker5427 I saw some forums of people saying when using the bottom pin as your sliding sight for anything past 40 it’s tough or not very functional, what do you think about that?
The way to avoid the issue without changing limbs is to put the bottom pin low but not below the base like he shows. THEN you adjust your GANG adjustment fist. Micro adjust shout not be your first move.
Good video. I think il have to go with black gold duel vertical sights. The middle pin being non adjustable bothers me and the blockage of the lower pin will do me no good out west.
Once you get sighted in with the middle pin it becomes a non issue. On the pin gap issue I had, keep in mind I was shooting a pretty slow speed out of the bow and I think most hunting setups will not have that issue. I just covered it because I was using an old target now of mine for a hunting bow and that was something I ran into with it. I’m now shooting 285fps with it and don’t have that pin issue.
@@Rustingraham1 That is correct. I could have slid the sight in closer and adjusted to a bigger peep sight, and wouldnt have needed the heavier limbs. I knew I wanted to go ahead and get 70# limbs to turn this into a hunting bow anyways, so it just seemed like the right move for me.
I can’t stand having a bow that has to have shim changes etc. it pure BS to buy a new bow that the shop or owner has to fricking rebuild. I want my bows set up everything straight down the centerline. I’m not wasting my time doing something the manufacturer should have done BEFORE it was shipped. I’ve sold several bows three to four days after getting it set up and discovered it’s got to be fricking disassembled and trial and error BS to work out the issue. IMO, a $1000 bow should not have to be fricking worked on. That’s pure laziness at the manufacturer. I have NEVER had a PSE or an ELITE of several models each that needed to be “ rebuilt”. Mathew’s and Hoyts you can count on having issues.
Are you able to get the bow tuned and not have a control cable running through your sight picture. Shot hoyts forever and never seen a cable in my scope. Now have 2 elites and the scope has a cable about a 1/3 of the way in. Just not used to seeing anything in my sight picture except for my pin.
I have noticed before that sometimes companies do put the weak limb on the wrong side a lot of that has to do with veryzer deflection and your cable guard the pressure that is on those cables at cool draw
If you have to shim the cam it kinda defeats the purpose of the S.E.T. I wonder if the weak limbs are both on the same side like some of the omnias with cable rubbing issues. Guys were saying they had both weak limbs on say the left and the S.E.T wasnt fixing the issue.
do you mind if I ask where you can get shiims? Im right handed and I have noticed my stabilizer is pointing off to the left. Bow shoots great so I just figured it was riser flex at full draw so I was leaving it alone. But if shimming it will help Im open to trying it. Just need to find out where to get shims
@@michaelbaker5427 Although I’m only 20 min away from Calgary (city of 1.3million) only one archery shop and they don’t carry elite. I do all my own work. Do you think elite would send them to me
G’day Michael, I’ve just received my verdict 70# OD Green, I’m just loving it. I’ve also shimmed it to the right being a left-hander like you, but I was interested to find out what is the gap you have? do you have only one shim? The .3? Does that give you the cam clearance so it doesn’t hit/rub your limb? Thanks
😂 Oops Not quite what I meant. When you’re moving your shims about on the axle, you don’t leave out any shims I get that, but when you moved your cam to the right, what was the smallest shim that you used to keep the cam off the limb? Or did you move the cam all the way and have all the shims on the left-hand side?
Correct, righty. Been bugging for a while but everybody keeps telling me if it’s shooting good then just leave it. Or they’ll say it’s me torquing the bow 😂 Appreciate you covering this fix!
Hey guys! As you mentioned, when using SET, it will change the direction of the way your stabilizer points because it is changing the limb direction. Spacing a cam, like you mentioned can help fix that. But also, you can use a 10* degree down disconnect and get it pointing directly straight. Personally, I’m OCD about that. Great video Michael! Love the insight and this will help a lot of people make up their mind when they are on the fence about these bows. The only hard decision to make is what arrow to use because everything will work!!!!
@@nathanbrooks4324 The stab pointing out to the right didnt bother me and the bow shoots great. However while prepping for field when I started running my site out farther it really changes the position of the scope and the further out i run the sight bar the further out tot he left I have to move the scope (need the long rod) I've actually played with the set tech to help but it still torques out to the right even if I use the max setting on the SET tech screw. I've even done it on a draw board to prove to friends who said I was torquing the bow (Im not). It is critical to set 3rd axis at full draw on this bow for sure.
I honestly haven’t noticed a difference to say yes or no. I only did 4 fletch on these because I like bigger vanes on my indoor arrows, and they didn’t come in quick enough.
I only had 1 camera and I wanted to cut down on the video length. watch my latest video and you will see I used 2 cameras, and you’ll have the context your looking for. Enjoy.
Unless you can successfully think of the score as purely an indication of the quality of the shot it is probably a bad idea score practice rounds, Practice with a purpose and then score a round as a way to measure the progress AFTER the practice, If you score practice generally the score becomes all that matters and the practice disappears, you should still benefit from the exercise, but the score tends to reinforce the negative effects of the bad shot Especially if a bad arrow is anything that isn't perfect, positive mental reinforcement works best if you can be at least non negative about moderate shots and it helps if you fail to talk about the "bad" shots and reinforce the Bad Enjoy its a game ! Either be positive or forget it and move on Nice vid, good shooting
Howie. I am on the shooting staff with them currently. So when I order one, it gets shipped to my home. Go see your local Elite dealer and give them a try.
Many years ago I tried to get a sight mark outdoors in January, it did not go well, I drew up on the first shot and the wind was blowing so hard that while I was wobbling around "aiming" the wind lifted my side quiver up and emptied the arrows out, I did hit the bail but didn't get a mark till later
“ that was almost really bad”- lol, wait until you’re 72. 🤣😂 It’s great your shooting at lunch cause it shows you have a goal 👍👍. I have a room in my home where I can get a 30 foot shot and I shoot nearly every day to keep in shape? hopefully for 3-d in a couple months. I guarantee at my age it doesn’t take but a few weeks of not shooting to get horribly out of shooting shape. Enjoyed this video Mr. 👍👍👀
Good shooting for outdoors and new bow. You will get there. Might space out frequency of your shots. One thing I learned in my 20 years of competitive shooting, you will shoot just like you practice. Just my 02 cents.
Thankyou for your content! I've watched many bow build videos in hope of learning more. I definitely picked up a few things from this video. Please keep making more when you can
This time of year, I shoot every Monday night at our indoor league (maybe 100 arrows) and then usually on Sunday afternoon I find time to shoot for a couple hours (100-200 arrows) the rest of the week I don’t. When the days get longer I will shoot 2-3 evenings a week after work.
