Helix tuning problems?
Has anyone had problems after changing to helix riser? as draw length reduces due to button position (arrows shoot stiffer) . If I have to cut anything off my existing arrows they'll be way too stiff

I'm looking to change but don't fancy forking out on more arrows

If possible just use the longer clicker plate.

I had the same conundrum when I changed.

Off the top of my head I don't know. They should come with the allen keys with the riser.

I'll have a look next time I've got my kit out. I seem to remember its about an inch.

If the longest clicker plate isn't enough then you will have to buy a Cavalier Magnetic Clicker. I had the same problem with my Hoyt Eclipse recently too.

The magnetic clicker doesn't require a clicker plate. It does sound like a starting pistol going off though!!! well maybe not that bad.

The draw length is reduced not to button position but by the grip being further forward.

They don't if you buy the riser from Bowsports! Mine didn't and I was assured that tools and clicker plates were not part of the package. Morons

I had exactly 20mm or 13/16" lopped off when I switched from my Matrix to my Nexus
