RE: Vane hitting the riser
If you look down the string you can see that the vane is hitting the riser by about a quarter of an inch. I had new limbs put on about a year ago. I am shootting the proper arrow.

RE: Vane hitting the riser
What arrow rest? How are the fletchings oriented,cock feather up or down etc.If you set the centershot properly your Vanes should not hit the riser.You may need to index the vanes by rotating the nock.Then again if center shot is correct this should not be a problem

RE: Vane hitting the riser
How did you set the center shot? Just curious.
If the center shot is fine, which I doubt, whatever' s wrong with the bow should be obvious, even to a beginner archer. if you go to the Hoyt site, or any bow dealer' s web site, you should be able to compare from the pictures you see, and determine what' s wrong right off the bat. Something that out of whack would be instantly noticeable.

RE: Vane hitting the riser
I imagine you would not be able to paper tune with any sort of clearence problem. Here are a few things to check for and a couple of suggestions.
1. Check the clearence at your rest. Are you sure that there are not clearence problems at the rest? Put some lipstick on the edges of the vanes and shot a few times. Then check the rest and riser for lipstick. If there is problems at the rest, it could be kicking the arrow.
2. check all starting points again, the center shot horizontally and vertically, nock point, tiller, arrow spine,
If there is no possible adjustment, you may want to try to use feathers, they will forgive more then vanes on any clearence problems.
You may want to go to a plunger style, or drop away rest, so you can shoot with the cock feather out.

RE: Vane hitting the riser
The rest is not the problem. If you were to take the rest off the vane would still hit the riser. The string will not give me enough clearence for the vane not to hit the riser when centered with a guage. Could this be a bow defect, because I cannot tune this bow with this setup.
