Someone explain this to me.
I was shooting my MM VFT yesterday with a friend, and decided to decrease my DW. SOoo- I turned back the limb bolts 1.5 turns (each). I was shooting at a 30 yd target. I figured - less poundage = lower arrow velocity = more arrow drop - right? WRONG! My arrows now consistently grouped 6" higher than before. I checked the poundage, and it had decreased by about 4 lbs. What gives??

change in anchor pt assuming you have no peep to line up to the same each time.sights have moved,nocking pt off.go back and check everything and make sure it is set just right and that everything is good and tight including rest.

Did you have the limb bolts bottomed out before?

Sounds to me like you got your tiller out of whack and let your nockset drift low. You wouldn't believe how screwed up your bow can be and still tune to a perfect 'bullet hole' if the tiller is whompyjawed.
That's the first thing I'd check. If tiller is not the same, top and bottom, then make it the same. Then reset your nock height and peep. If that's not it, then you'll need to look at cam timing. Do the easy stuff first though.

Run a piece of fishing line from the top axle to the bottom axle and then measure from where the limb meets pocket to the fishing line.
measure both top and bottom.
measure both top and bottom.

RE: Someone explain this to me.
I ran some fishing line from the e-clip on the top axle to the e-clip on the bottom axle, pulled it tight and measured from both the front of the limb pocket and the back of the limb pocket (where the limbs meet) on both top and bottom. Top limb=21.8 cm, Bottom limb 21.9 cm (both essentially equal). Did I do this right?
