I'm having some problems tuning my bow.
2014 Mathews Monster Chill R. Pulling between 60-64 lbs - I don't have a scale and I need to get one but I'm two full limb bolt rotations back from Max(70 lbs.). Draw length is 29 in.
Arrow is an Easton Carbon Bowhunter 6.5, 300 spine, cut to 30 inches. It has 3 blazer vanes, arrow wraps, 75 grain inserts, and 150 grain points/broadheads.
I've been shooting 150 grain field points all summer with good success at 20 and 30 yards. Last week I threw on 150 grain Magnus stingers and they did not fly like my field points. I remembered that I needed to tune my bow. I followed instructions for bare shaft tuning a whisker biscuit(what I have) from AJA. At 13/16ths center shot my point was hitting about 3 or 4 inches left of my nock. I can correct that by moving my rest but it takes about 1/4" of adjustment to the left - is that too much?
I was able to get my bare shaft to group with my field points but the issue I have is my rest is moved so far left that I have run out of adjustment to my sight to compensate. Basically, I can't move my sight any more to the left so at 20 yards I'm about 3 or 4 inches left of my aim point with my field points.
Am I overthinking this? Am I over spined? Is there a step I'm doing wrong?
Pretty flustered at the moment.
