Compound launcher........

[simon m]

OK hands up.....I'm a dummy.......

Started shooting a browning vanguard, first time back to shooting in ages, first ever compound...yadda yadda (all sounds like excuses)

Its got a inertial flip down rest on it....very nice, was help to set it up and centre it etc.........all good.


Last weekend...shooting 30m at the end of the FITA my sight ended up out of sight behind the limb......scored 827 total shooting the last three dozen blind.

Methinks, sight bar could move out....three holes adjustement left.....still no improvement............

Methinks, maybe the nocking point/d-loop has crept down or something......goes to chiltern archery.........asking about new string and cables/ also quizzes stan on problem......he assumes i've checked the launcher and moves knockinig point up a bit........

Then arrive at practise yesterday......explain to our resident compound experts...and......they take one look at the launcher and say..........................................ITS MOVED UP?......D'OH!

Finally after an hour of messing around with said launcher moving the d-loop back the where it was...etc etc etc....I shot 100yrds 80yrds and 60 yrds scoring reasonably.......

Moral of the story don't "assume" anything when it comes to compound.......

Oh i feel silly........

Shooting forty yards B-hol monday aiming at the bottom of the target!.....
