New bow purchased

[Halety]

Looking for some help setting up my new bow. Still pretty green to bow hunting. More so to setting up a bow. Got a wild hair and sprung for a new Chill. My local bow shop seems to be causing more harm then good. Not happy at all with their after purchase attention or tuning. Looking for a better( customer friendly) bow shop in my area. Or anyone in my area who would be willing help me get this thing shooting straight. I'll supply the beer/food. That or share some good hunting spots! I live near Ventura. Any tips or directions greatly appreciated! Tyler

How is it set up right now? Sight, rest, draw length and weight? What arrows? Might help us identify a problem without seeing you actually shoot.

We have a great bow shop down here ( Bow and Arrow Shop ) that I highly recommend. Problem is your three and a half hours away.

What is it your having problems with?

Fetching it hitting the rest. Seems like tail of arrow is coming out low? Had it set at 20 and it still seemed to be on. Take it out further and can't get anything consistent. Today had it driving tacts at 60. And it was way off at 20. It's brand new. Set up at the shop I bought it at. Nothing was tightened. So it was falling apart. Now I'm trying to put it back together.

Take a picture with arrow nocked on the rest. I wonder if D loop is low?

If you're ever in bakersfield we have a good shop called the archery shop that will set you up

Call Mathews they would like to know if a dealer is having problems, and can recommend another.

Let me guess the local shop rhymes with "bergsons?" I am in no way an archery shop but I also live in Ventura and I have a few tools laying around that might help. PM me if you want to shoot and tune.

Google "walk back tuning". That might help if your on at 60 and off at 20. Thats a bummer that the place you bought it cant seem to help you.

Did you get my PM Drewski? And I'm working on the picture. Not to good at uploading from my phone.

Hey Halety, sorry I just got it. I am traveling on business and will be for the next 3 weeks. I will reply to your PM with my info and we will go shoot when I get back.

Drive to the bow n arrow shop in lakeside. It will be well worth your time. You will leave there ready to hunt.

Good luck,
Larry
