RE: Explain This One
I know for a fact I'm not getting contact with the new drop away, so I guess the logical conclusion is that there was some contact or other "tip up" factor inherent to the WB setup. Probably also why it shot different arrows of the same spine so differently with the WB. So, as others have offered, the tune with the WB maybe wasn't really as good as it appeared. The new one shootsjust about all arrows in the locker very close to the same spot. Sometimes it would be nice to have access to one of those high speed video cameras.
Thanks to all for your thoughts and insights.

RE: Explain This One
Roskoe, I won't say anything bad about the WB, I like it...
BUT, I practice at an archery club where 18 or 25 yard lanes are used.
I shoot an average of 270 on 25 yards, at 18 yardsI manage an average of 240.
My arrows are all papertuned at 4 yards and 2 yards....
I shot them all more than 30 times at those differences and they gave perfect tears....
so, what would cause that ?

Seriously there's much more to tuning, your results prove it.

I will say that the WB is very good and masking inherent tuning issues. The cam lean is so extreme on my Old Glory that I could not get either my NAP or my QAD drop aways to tune with that bow to less than 1/2" nock right tear through paper. I put the WB on and BAM! bullet holes. The problem is still there but the WB mitigates/masks it.

RE: Explain This One
ok, Nodiggitydog, besides having papertuned bow and arrows, decent form and repetition, what else would you suggest ?
My results only show that shooting at 25 yards, I hit bull's eyes ( 9 points average per arrows)
And at 18 yards I suck....
What would be your opinion, enlighten me, I beg of you......
If my arrows shoot straight and my sight is set on 18 and 25 yards, how come the arrows I shoot at 18 seem to get sown around the bull's eye and at 25 they don't.
I did a check up with shooting at a horizontal line and a vertical line to tune my WB as well.
any advice is welcome here !!!

RE: Explain This One
And I would suspect it does this by putting a little drag on all three fletchings equally, as the arrow is leaving the bow - giving it a final little correction towards straight flight?
