    Default 09 z28?

    Hello Everyone! I've been lurking here awhile and just wanted to introduce myself. i'm new to Elite and just got a 09 GT500 and a 09 Z28. I have a quick question on the Z! the berger holes are really low and if i set the arrow even with them the bottom blazers will drag the shelf! i read on here some of the first 09's were this way and then they corrected it.i bought both the bows new but they had been in his shop awhile.Has anyone else experienced this and had a problem with it? Thanks Again

    Bottom of arrow through center of berger holes. Cock vane at 8 to 9 o'clock just so the other two clear the cables.

    I just got a 09z here recently as well. Mine is also an early one apparently. The quiver holes were undersized(elite sent me machined down mounts free) and the berger holes are low(I set the rest higher). 2 issues, yeah, but both with quick easy resolutions and it is hands down the best shooting bow and most fun bow to shoot that I have ever layed my hands on.

    I hope you have the needed adjustment room on your rest, I'm sure you will. As far as the holes, some guys might not agree, but I say no biggie. The position of the holes has absolutely no bearing on the bows shootability or tunability. The relation of the holes to the arrow is the only thing that will be different and that is a non-issue. Good luck with your Z hope you like it as well as I like mine.

    Bingo! That's all you need to do and you will be fine. Some rests will work better, meaning more adjustment, than others.
