Sorry to jump in on this thread, but I've just taken delivery of my second Tempest riser, and a set of the new Hex 7.2 limbs.
I shoot all the time with my first Tempest, with Hex 6.6 limbs. Awesome bow, really happy, Border quality through and through.
I'm just embarking on setup with the new riser and limbs, and was intrigued by your comment, Sid, about the Lock Bolts in the riser having the potential to show a "false bottoming" of the limb bolt. Not sure how that happens, I've worked on the basis of backing off the lock bolts as far as possible to allow the limb bolts to go as far as possible into the riser, anticipating that there's a change in diameter at the bottom of the limb bolt thread that will register the "bottom".
How does the lock bolt interfere with this if fully backed off?
And, pardon the ignorance, could you just confirm that the 7.2 limbs have "built in tiller"?
I've been looking to set the tiller to a positive 4mm or so, when measured at the usual place at the top of the limb pockets.
If the limbs are "ready tillered", should I be looking for an equal measurement at top and bottom, and letting the "built in" tiller sort things out?
I think that the more of the Tempests that are made and sold, the greater the need for some sort of Set Up guide.
I don't know, John, if Sid Jnr has "Signed Off" your guide yet, but it'd be a saviour for those of us pondering the optimum setup.
String lengths and bracing heights have been hard to find, and the dissing permutations on the various threads on this forum only complicate the issue further.
Love the product, just need the Owners Manual!
