Carbon Icon, can't get it tuned to save my life. Groups are just okay with field points, but throw a broadhead into the mix and it's anybody's guess. For the sake of full disclosure, I should come clean and admit that I allowed myself to get rusty with ther bow over the last few years. Since leaving my bow only lease and getting on one that allows rifles, I've hunted with a bow 3-4 weekends a year, then switched to guns. That said, I haven't had this much trouble since I started shooting bows 13 years ago. Not long ago, with a previous bow, i was slinging carbon into the heart of a 3d buck target at 70yards with about 90-95% hits, the remainder were in the lungs.....
Okay, now that's outta the way, this Icon won't tune. I had new strings installed and even the tech said he struggled to get it paper tuned. So, after fussing with it, ther only thing I can conver up with is the string stop, here's why I'm doubting it. The string doesn't line up on it centered, it's close, but there's a groove, and it clearly isn't in that groove. So I'm wondering it if is causing inconsistent string travel. Also, on my Black Ice (God I wish I'd never sold that bow), I added an aftermarket stop and set it up with the string actually touching the stop at rest, this one has a small gap.
Do you think adjusting my stop might help me get this rig shooting consistently? Thanks in advance.
