I should know this but...wrist getting slapped every shot with new bow..

<< < (2/2)

Pappy:
If the string is off set to the shooting side they will whack you worse than if they are right down the center, if it was mine I would tweak the tip over so the string is down the middle. Some like them to shooting side and say it makes tem more forgiving on arrow spine, but I prefer to have them down the center and tune arrows accordingly. I usually set the brace at about 6, also if it is a b50 string and really twisted up to raise brace it is like a coil spring and will slap the wrist when shooting. :)

Badger:
  I agree with Pappy, for hunting bows I like them best down the center. I set up flight bows to sometimes be 1/2" to the left of center and the string kills me but I get cleaner releases with light arrows.

thanks guys!  not sure what kind of string this is...came with bow, i'd guess made by bowmaker..as for string center  have to really look tomorrow at it...dang thing shoots great  but whacks good too! it maybe right of center a bit..it was way left before i turned it over...jus hope i have hand it right place an arrow nocked right,,,thanks!

Rcdeer:
well...from what  I can see.... I,because it's osage,and a lil wavy..string is off center and turning bow upside down just changed it to off right, which I'd guess better cause arrow would shoot right instead of straight,,and string is twisted pretty good so going to get new fast flight string see if that'll help..  thank you guys!
