Help with new setup

[niceguy]

Anyway to get back to the subject in hand, fezza is saying that with heavier limbs, lighter stabs and the stabs moved forward his bow won't settle. Possibilities---

1. The exra draw weight has changed his stability i.e he has got the shakes. Try the lighter limbs with the new stab set up

2. He needs more mass weight as the new stabs are lighter, add more mass weight.

3. Centre of gravity is wrong. Move the Cof G forwards and backwards.

4. Tillering is wrong on the heavier limbs, I heard it said that this effects the way a bow holds on target. No personel experience of this. Difficult to do with out retuning the nocking point or use nock sets.

5. Other options- buy a long bow and get rid of the stab problems. Buy a compound and have so many problems to tinker with you'll forget about the original problem.

I think I would check the tiller before anything else.

Question ?

With refrence the tiller, do the limbs have there own tiller setting or do I still use the settings for my SF handle.

I ask as I do find that the bow pivits up as I draw, but its allways done this, should it?

Don't know. Some limbs have built in tillering and some rely on tillering being set at the riser. Turn your limbs top to bottom and see if the tillering changes, if it does the limbs are pre tillered. Generally the tillering should be approx 3-5mm less on the bottom limb. Start from that point and see if you get an improvement. Are you sure the extra poundage isn't just simply affecting the way you hold the bow on target.

[fezza]

No I am not having any problems with the poundage. Was using a friend’s pair of G3's at the same weight, for a few months, before I bought the inno's and I was not getting this problem with them.

I noticed that the inno's have a thicker root to them than the G3's or my older SF GSF limbs." Found out the hard way as the limb bolts cracked the surface finish on lower limb on first stringing I nearly died ". Could this have an effect to the tiller?

I believe the G3 limbs have built in tillering, don't know about Inno limbs, go back and try your friends limbs again. Don't know what else to suggest, I wouldn't have thought these small tillering differences would make much difference. The only other answer is that Inno limbs just 'aint as good as settling as G3 limbs, not something you want to hear, sorry.
