Stone is right. If the d-loop isn't straight, you will twist the string when drawing. Also, not all strings are created equal. Lousy strings won't hold their twist well. Good strings once settled after install (should be only 10-20 shots at most) should hold the peep as installed. There is some art in straightening the peep once installed. It should face you at rest and once drawn be in the same position. A 1/2 twist at the top will rotate the peep more than a 1/2 twist at the bottom of the string for purposes of adjustment. You can also move individual strands to straighten the peep, but I try to avoid it. You can also tie the peep in closer at the top or bottom to slightly rotate the peep. Easiest is to tie in and then adjust by 1/2 twist at top or bottom of the string as needed. Levi morgan has a good video on how to neatly tie the peep in. Easy to follow and works well. I just tried his method with Phade's bow and it worked well.

If your peep is twisting after being shot in a bit after install, you probably need new strings. A good set of strings will hold the peep in exactly the same position for a long time. I haven't touched mine in 2 years. I agree that the larger peep centered on the housing with pin on the target is best for hunting. the bigger the peep, the more light it will allow in under low light conditions and its the peep not the pin that will prevent low light shots (not advocating when or under what conditions to shoot, just sayin)

Pygmy!

That poor deer. Likely will be happy to be arrowed to put it out of its misery.

The lighted nocks weigh more (I think in the range of 20+g) which can impact poi (lower poi) and make an arrow act dynamically stiff (hit left for a rt handed shooter), especially if the arrow was close to being too stiff. If it tunes better without the lighted nocks, don't use them IMO.

Very cool. I would need the bases of a booner to fit my fat fingers. Very creative wooly.

You are darn funny Pygmy. I assume you were donning the lizard skin thing on this trip? Law you should feel honored.

My buddy just had carpaccio made of that in Quebec. Said it was good. Not giving it away though. Did you have that shipped to NY?

So you guys can share underwear. very economical of you Pygmy

My sight has 3rd axis adjustment and I did adjust it on install (the whole vertical line on the wall thing), but I really don't think its needed for hunting distances.

I actually went on ebay to see if I could find the deal you did. No dice. I have 6 new ones so I decided to pick up some of the knock offs for $17. Biggest issue is that the knock offs tend vary a bit in weight. You will like them if you are shooting above 65lbs in my opinion. Big holes.

No point in fishing Keuka anymore, all the fish are in Law and Pygmy's freezer.

That's a great day! Congrats. BTW Pygmy, you don't look short at all sitting.

I am not sure he is there, but there is a weight where no shirt is a worse option than a tank. I think I hit it about 100lbs ago. lol

Great price for the real deal. I use 125g and think they run close to 40 for 3. Of course, the knock offs are $17 for 12. lol

Trespassers aside, you have some of the most well manicured hunting property I have ever seen - you and Grow. Guessing you would both hate the muck filled swamp we hunt. Its like the dilapidated house on the street by comparison. lol

Pleasant surprise for sure!

Those arrows would be very stiff at my draw length on a 50lb bow with 100g heads. That said, I don't have a 30" DL and that will impact dynamic spine a ton so I really don't know if those are way too stiff or manageable. You appear to still have some arrows flying stiff (nock right tip left) and some straight. (they will tend to enter the target straighter at further distances since the fletching has more time to steer the arrow) Best guess is that you have adjusted the centershot to make up for arrows that are too stiff by moving the rest towards the riser (right) and now your broadheads are planing to the right. That said (and its a wild guess), the fact that you had BHs both left and right of your FPs above at 30 is a good sign. Not sure you can ever bring them together and get great arrow flight if the arrows are way to stiff. Can you measure your current centershot, ie. measure from the inside of the riser to midway on top of your arrow at rest? I am curious if you have it set closer to the riser than recommended by the manufacturer (not sure what bow that is). Do you see fishtailing by the arrows in flight? It is tough to tune remotely. lol

Yes - great slug gun. I shoot Winchester partition gold, but have some accutips ready when the Winchester run out. The Winchesters shoot great from it too but are more expensive.

For a right handed shooter, stiff spine usually results in arrow left of target. That said, compounds usually have quite a bit of wiggle room for arrow spine. Single string not so much.

Yep - adding weight to the back is the opposite of adding weight to the front for dynamic spine purposes. It will make an arrow act stiffer. Not sure about camera angle, but those sure seem to be entering from different directions which shows tune problems, unless he started shooting at different angles.

Good job Zeus. Better for sure. I understand getting tired of tuning. That said, its hard for me to follow your photos, but assuming the FPs are consistently hitting lower than BHs, try dropping your rest a touch (not much) since your don't want to change your nocking point. The BHs may be planing a bit. Also, I think you said BHs are still right of FPs, again, small adjustments to the left may help. Honestly, I question whether you have the right spine since the arrows seems to be landing at different angles, but I also understand that you may just need to use what you have. Also, using lighted nocks, which weigh more, will stiffen your arrow dynamically. Not saying you are not a consistent shooter either, but the rule is that you can only real tune as well as you can shoot. So the better you become as a shooter, the easier the tuning process is since the shots are more consistent and flight errors are more easily identified. This is even more true with trad archery.

Good luck

I think you did plenty big guy. Forget the extra man made scent.

Lol. I did this a few times this morning with Phades sight. Oops, now where was it? I like micro adjust too but sighting in is the easy part. Takes a while to understand what each rest movement should do for arrow flight. Then you have the outlier. I have even had bows that I had to move FP to BH and not the normal BH to FP. Like you said, small movements, check and adjust. When you start flopping limbs or changing axle shims, like I have, it's probably more than is required to kill a deer.
