Hi all,
Hope you're doing very well. i have been seeing post of this forum for many years now, and now im in the position of needing help from all of you. Sorry in advance for the extension of my explanation,but i want to be as specific asI can to be clear
I have been shooting recurve for many years now. The last setup im using, i have been using it for almost 1 year. This is my setup
right handed
limbs winex 40# long
riser gmx 25
Rest shibuya magnetic
plunger shibuya
arrows ace 470 29.5 vanes spin wing 1 3/4 and points tophat 140 (used normal break off 120)
string 8125
As i mentioned, i have been using this setup for almost a year, and before that i was using 520 and maybe less poundage. The problem started a few weeks ago, after shooting a weekend with no issues at all (with everything calibrated as i shooted the previous week a 600 points at 70 meters), I returned the next weekend, and just to check, shooted at 30 mts (32 yards) to check calibration. Then i figured out that my unfletched arrows were landing as stiff, and also figured out that one of the vanes was getting ripped off (a picture of my vanes position, the one broken was the upper one)
I ripped off many arrows that time and started to desperate. Nothing was changed in the bow, and the unfletched arrows landed about 30cm to the left of the fletched ones. a friend recorded me in slowmotion and we figured out that the arror was pussing the rest to the inside (in half of the arrow after the release) so the vane was getting in the way of the magnetic piece of the rest). below a footage of the slowmotion video (please note that i have to add a tape in the riser to prevent damage to the bow and the vanes)
as can be seen in the fourth picture, the arrow falls below the plunger lvl, because the arrow is "pushing" down and the rest goes inside, and then the magnetiv piece gets opened far before the vane passes, so it get ripped off by that piece. After that, i tried to correct the button and everything yo get the arrows group again (fletched and unfletched) but the arrows keep doing the same.
So far, i have tried this:
-get the nocking point higher (up to 1/2 inch)
-change the rest arm and also move it
-change limbs
-change tiller to neutral and even negative
-try anoher person shooting my bow (same result)
-changed plunger spring to the softer
-tried differents arrows with different spines (same result with anyone)
-changed rest to hoyt super rest (this was worse, because the arm of this rest is softer and the arrow went lower than before)
I also moved the nock. As the arrow goes down, i found out that the vane pointing below started to ripped off, as it touches the lowest part of the bow window.
any suggestions of what could be happening? i have never had something like this happening before, i have been using ACE and spin wing from many years now, and never have a problem like this. I wouldn't want to change my riser, is the last thing im thinking of, but realy dont want to.
