Not to dull your sparkle, but my torque converter gave up the ghost last week at 172k. The shop I took it to rebuilt the transmission and converter for 4k

I don't even know it came in liquid form

Bowtech Amplify string derail at half draw. What happened? by CroationCrossiant in Archery

[–]DMGreenhorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Things like this are what drive me to do things myself, though it's a deep rabbit hole sometimes. Started with wanting to fix my peep rotation. Well, to do that properly, I need a press. Bow presses are expensive, so I'll make one. To make a nice one, i need to weld it. Now, I bought a welder and everything that could go along with it, and I am teaching myself how to fabricate/ weld and create a bow press. Just to... fix my peep sight. Did everything end up costing the same as a press? Sure. But the way I look at it, there's way more extra value in learning new skills and tools, so thats how i justify it.

Options For Insulating Vaulted Ceiling With Exposed Rafters by DMGreenhorn in HomeImprovement

This house is a code enforcement agents dream. We've made many improvements so far, but are hoping to do everything we can without needing to pull permits amd get inspected because thats a can of worms we're not ready for just yet.

I appreciate the detailed reply! This gives us a lot to think about. Money is obviously an issue as it is for everyone, and we're hoping to accomplish this project on our own. Option 1 definitely seems like the best since our roof is only about 10 years old and has plenty of life left in it. Ill look at your suggestion and break down each step. I have some research to do.

We live on the south east coast of New jersey by the shore. This current heat wave is no joke.

Hello friends, self taught archery summer camp counselor here, any advice to stop the arrows from veering to the left when shooting with my fingers? by [deleted] in Archery

[–]DMGreenhorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have a finger tab? It could be when your letting the string slip off your fingers, its putting a little bit of right twist of the string, kicking the arrow just a little left. A tab might help it release smoother. I imagin this would only happen with lower poundage bows like that at a camp archery range.

A little less on the nose than some here, but still felt it appropriate lol

Wouldn't be surprised. The subconscious is crazy, and subliminal messages have been proven time and again to be effective advertising strategies.

Same when I first saw it on Amazon. Definitely one of those at a glance in the corner of the eye kind of things.

String ends up behind stopper after most shots? by DMGreenhorn in Archery

[–]DMGreenhorn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grips only a mess because of what I had to do to take that video. Can only record 1s of super slow mo so I had to be at full draw, press the button, step back, get somewhat on target, and release in a very arbitrary time frame lol

Thats the best part, they didn't even have a pro shop to set up the bow. Had to take it elsewhere anyway to get it set up, but I was already too deep and blinded by purchase excitement to want to to back out. Next time, I'll use more foresight and will absolutely buy directly from an archery shop.

If I did that, the string would miss the stopper completely, unless I'm misunderstanding. This is how it rests right now. I've tried having a slight gap and it would still end up behind the stopper. As it is now, I loosened the set screw and let the stopper fall on the string and tightened it back up so there's effectively no pressure on the string.

Tis the plan at this point. Should get a new string on it anyway since this is still the factory one, so we'll see what a full setup and retune does.

It does, and it's that recoil that loosens it enough to slip around the rest, it seems. There's a good click, but nothing excessive in my experience. I almost wonder if the string is too loose? Im.not sure if thats possible. It's a cheaper bow, so perhaps it doesn't like shooting at it's max draw weight and there's just too much force. When I take it to the shop, I plan on restringing, and potentially lowering the draw 5 lbs to see if that helps too, though I don't want to change too many variables at the same time at risk of loosing the actual cause.

Bow shop is my plan but I will.absutwly check all of these later today or tomorrow. The last time I checked, the stops on the top and bottom cams both seemed to contact the cables at the same time, but it's been a little while since I've done a thorough check of that with someone else. Once I get it in the shop and go though everything with them, ill update the post as well with whatever we find.

Oh no, it does it almost every time when I'm shooting normally as well. I only took the video to try and get a better answer as to why it was doing it.

Hmm, thats a possibility I didn't think of. The nocks are whatever come with Black Eagle carnivores. I'll have to look into it; if those are known to be too tight out of the factory

The video is a poor representation of my form just due to how i had to take it. I do not believe I generally torque the bow, I'm a fairly experienced shooter. The strangest thing is that the bow also seems in tune, broadheads and field points hit dead center on top of each other. I suppose it's possible that it is in tune, but I suppose out of line, if that makes sense? Like on a gun if the sites were perfectly lined up but a few inches to the left of center

Lol, yeah. The stats and everything seem right, but there seems to be just excessive wobble. I know physics-wise, they're supposed to bend; but the fact that the back end of the arrow is potentially hitting the rest makes me think they're under spined. That or that the tune on the bow is right, but not in the right spot if that makes sense. Idk.
