For the first time in my life I am taking the time this off season to really go through my bow (2018 RX-1) with a fine-toothed comb and get it up to to speed in all areas.
That has included:
Finally building a draw board
Re-serving peep and nose button
New rest pull cord/re-timing rest (what a shock to see how far off it was on the draw board)
Getting cams synced perfectly (also thought they were perfect until I got it on the board)
Replacing worn out rubber cable stops with new shrink wrap
Getting ATA and brace height to spec
Resetting centershot to spec with calipers
Micro tuning the rest with bare shafts
Paper tuning with different grain weight to test my spines ability to handle a lower point weight
Torquing and re loctite on all bolts/fitting
Installing new replacement grommet on corroded wrist strap
Rust removal and refinishing of quiver attachment bolts
Setting sight 2nd axis (3rd is still on the to do list)
Dialing in L/R on sight using a plumb bob hanging in front of my target (line up all pins with vertical line and fire)
I have done pieces and parts of all this over the years but never systematically taken the time to go through it all with a fine tooth comb bit by bit over the course of several weeks. It was a very rewarding process honestly.
I finally tossed a target out at 20 yards a few minutes ago and let an arrow fly. Everything felt good and the thump landed the arrow directly above my aiming point. I retrieved a second arrow, nocked it and let it fly but was confused to hear a different sound on impact. Welp, there went 11 dollars or so. Ouch. I guess she's tuned????
Anyone have ideas how to retrieve my ethics insert out of the front of the arrow I smashed? Them things are pricey!
