| X10 setup
I have a question for the recurve X10 users.
A few (actually probably more than a few...) years ago when the X10 was fairly new I went to a seminar by Jay Barrs and Mike Gerard which was about setting up the Avalon limb alignment and also about optimising performance from X10s (I think it was at Bournemouth AC hosted by Quicks but I may be getting confused). Anyway, I'm pretty sure I remember Jay Barrs saying that he recommended cutting 1/2" off the back of the X10 one spine weaker than your normal selection to bring it into spine for your setup, then cut the front to your normal arrow length. The point is so you can shoot one spine weaker and therefore lighter than you normally would and so don't sacrifice quite as much sightmark when coming over from ACEs, but still have the benefit of the smaller shaft diameter with a bit more shaft weight. Does anyone actually do this or does everyone just go for their recommended spine and do it normally? |
