problem w/ darton avalanche extreme
hey gang,
I just bought a darton avalanche extreme a couple of weeks ago and i can not get it to paper tune. no matter where i adjust my nap 4000 drop away , or my trophy taker rest i get a 1" to 2" right tear. ive started with the rest all the way in til the vane just cleared the riser and gradually moved it out all the way to the left, where it should be getting a severe left tear, but its still tearing right,
IM right handed with a realease, 60# 27"draw, 9.45 f.o.c. on a gold tip ultra light .500 spine. tears right with gold tip 5575's also.
i sent it in to darton and they couldn't get it to paper tune and said there was something wrong with the riser. so they replaced riser and sent it back to me. it still does the same right tear!!!!!
has anyone else had a problem with this bow?
can anyone help me out?
thanks

RE: problem w/ darton avalanche extreme
I have the Tundra, which is basically the same riser but with different limb angle and longer, recurve limbs. I pretty quickly took the grip sideplates off my bow. I didn't care for the feel of the sideplates, especially the left one. On several bows I've owned, I tended to get a right tear like you are talking about. With the Tundra, and the sideplates removed, I am not having any problems getting it to tune. I've only had the bow for about 3 weeks, but I am really liking this bow, ALOT!
It may not help at all, but I would try removing the grip sideplates and see how it does. I am planning on putting some camo fleece on my riser grip area for this hunting season.
