Draw length question????????

[bponb]

Just put my Synergy on the draw board and here is what I come up with.

Modules set for 28" draw

draw length to the deepest part of the grip 27" (I am measuring from the curve in the grip where your hand rests and not the front of the grip facing away from me) Did I do this right?

AMO draw length would be 27" + 1.75" making me a 28.75 " AMO draw length.

:confused::confused::confused: No I am totally confused. Why do I have 3 different draw lengths?

Thanks in advance

You did it correctly. It looks like you have some serious adjusting to do.

[bponb]

O.K., now how do I go about adjusting everything.

[L-train]

I agree with Michael, you should do some tuning to get it set right, but your 28s are probably going to be a bit long.

[bponb]

Shouldn't my draw from the deepest part of the grip be 28" if the module is set at 28"?

[bponb]

Do I change my modules to the 29" slot to actually get 28" draw?

[Michael]

Shouldn't my draw from the deepest part of the grip be 28" if the module is set at 28"?


It should measure 26.25 when set at the 28" setting.

Are you pulling into the back wall and making the holding weight go back up?
As soon as the bow reaches it's lowest holding weight on the rollover is the bottom of the valley and where you measure the draw length.

If your draw stop is not set right the draw will be long also.

What is the peak and holding weight?

[bponb]

Once on the draw board the draw pegs on the cams are hitting exactly at the same time the stop peg is hitting the limb. Limbs are bottoming out at 68.5# at the moment.

[Elite_Kevin]

In most cases the mod stops are NOT suppose to touch the cables!

So what is the holding weight at the position you are measuring the draw length?

[bponb]

ATA is @ 33 3/8

brace height is @ 7 1/4

[bponb]

Let me make an adjustment on the post setting it may be a little over the 5.8 suggested for a 28" draw.

[Elite_Kevin]

Is this a 07' or 08' Synergy.

What is the holding weight?????????????? where you are measuring the draw????????????

[bponb]

07 Synergy. I measured the draw once the peg hit the limb. I am guessing that this is not the correct way of doing this.

[Elite_Kevin]

Just tell me what the holding weight is at the point where the draw stop hits the limb and you are measuring the draw length!!!!!!!!!

I'm from Louisiana so I know my accent is not throwing you off!!!!:D:D:D

[bponb]

I will have to measure the holding weight tomorrow. I must be measuring wrong. Can you explain how to get the correct draw length measurement?

[Elite_Kevin]

Crank the bow until the weight stops going down and starts going up by as little as .001# this is the bottom of the valley. Measure here.

Most companies measure draw at the point where the hysteresis gives you the lowest holding weight, this is where you break the cams over and then ease up until you hit the lowest holding weight possible.

If your draw stop is set too long you will hold very little weight, this is why I keep asking about the holding weight, if you are holding below 14# with hysteresis your draw stop is set wrong.:eek:

Thanks Kevin, it sure is nice to be able to speak with the designer/builder of these bows. Don't know any other company that will do that for you.
I have learned more about my Synergy from this website than any other. I don't have a pro shop near me so I am trying to learn all this stuff on my own and through posts here on Elite forum.

I understand what you are saying (even if you are from Louisiana) and if I have any more problems then I will get in touch with you tomorrow.
