Im new to archery, unless you count as a kid with the plastic bows. I just got a Reflex bighorn hunter off ebay still brand new. I cant find any info on reflex or the internet about this bow, but I did go to hoyt's website and download their 2002 manual which helped a little. The bow is 40" limb to limb, 60-70 draw weight, 29" draw length. It was originally set at 70 and I backed the limb bolts out 2 3/4 turns. I installed a nock and arrow rest.

My questions are when I installed the nock it is harder to pull back using a release than if I just use my finger pull back. Is this normal or did I install the nock to high (see picture)? The fletching also touches the string when nocked, I wanted to make sure it would not affect flight as the cable guard bar it set at the 2oclock position suggested. Also the placement of the arrow rest, Is it to far back on the arrow? I read a post about lining the arrow up with the rest mounting hole, so thats how I set it up.

Thanks for reading my long post and any help you can offer.

I would suggest taking it to a pro-shop and starting a relationship with them...........

Your passage back into the sport will be much easier......

How did you know what your drawlength was?

I have to agree with Rack on this one ,but I would also say that your cable gaurd can be turned abit in order for you fletching to clear the cable ,as for your rest ,you might try moving it forward a bit as well.
But to be sure a good shop will be able to help you much better a picture can be a little decieving .

The draw length is listed on the bow sticker as 29

i think rack means - your drawlength - how did you know what your drawlength is - not the bows drawlength.

by using the formula listed on most sites using arm span divided by 2.5
