My initial tune is flying nock left and I need to move the rest to the right ( I never like to doing that ) or I guess option 2 is swap the top hats. I do see a lean in the top cam. After thinking about moving the top hats I decided to tweak the rest.

Ordinary Allen keys do not work to loosen the windage screw. They hit the control cable arm.

*** …do they make a set to get in that small space to loosen that screw?

I just punted and swapped the top hats but damn, what do I do to tweak the rest? Remove it from the bow? Or is there a tool?

Thanks for any advice

Would a set of t handle wrenches work? Or do you need to trim the short arm of a regular Allen wrench down to increase clearance?

As I thought about it more I saw they make some “stubby” allen keys. Then I got pissed thinking Mathews should include one. Then it occurred to me, that’s a Hamskea Epsilon rest and I recall they included a weird wrench … so I dug it ip snd guess what …it fits!!!!

Lord

Thanks Man !!!

The local Cabela’s gives the stubby wrenches away. I probably have 20 of them if you need one? QAD usually includes one with their rests.
But, you were better off adjusting the top hats so the problem solved the important issue.
 
I was going to order the podium top hats to clean up a minor tear on paper.

Then I saw a video on tuning to get broad heads hitting with field points at distance.

Just a few tweaks and I was hitting good at 50.
That was my objective.

Not saying you specifically but I think many of us get caught up in getting the perfect paper tear and then expect that to automatically translate into
The above condition.

It is my opinion that you will get a hole inly to undo your efforts when it comes time to bring the field point and broad head impact to come together that last inch or two.
Again, this is dependent on type of heads used.
Not to say it can’t happen.

My B4 and After ..the tear was actually really bad this was after adj the rest just to see then I put that rest back and used the top hats
 
Thats how the rx8 shot at first then switching top hats greatly improved it.
Couldn’t get rid of the creak tho.
Got a Lift 33 instead.

At 1st switching top hats was putting me off but now having done it a couple of times I really like it. I had luckily already bought a pkg of top hats so I had them on hand.

Also, I have to give kudos to Hoyt hate to admit it but I have a 2017 carbon defiant and I have dry fired that dude at least twice and other than me peeing down my leg …nothing bad happened.

Wow that Hamskea looks huge. Nothing streamlined about that
