    Default Help with answer

    Just purchased a answer the bow was shooting great put it away after shooting one day got it back out an it was shooting 7 inches to the left when I got it back out to shoot again. I changed nothing on this bow an now it doesn't shoot the same as it did. I have a hogg father sight on it an a qad rest going to change to the trophy taker extreme cable activated rest.
    The shop I purchased it from aren't being very helpful with tuning this bow. Who do you all recommend for a super tune I'm located in northern Indiana.

    Sounds like something just got knocked out of place (sights or rest) since it was fine one day and not the next

    Yer kids been jacking with it? Move yer sight maybe? Or you got a buddy that'd think it's funny to adjust your sights while you weren't looking?

    Check your centershot first, then see if the darned thing shoots consistent. Your sights may have moved, something may have been loose.

    And if it turns out that yer A-hole buddy messed with yer bow as a joke....kick him in the junk

    something had to move or change, I'm guessing it's in one of your components, not the tune. I had my Pure tuned with new strings almost 2 years ago and have never had to touch it and it is shooting better then ever. Once these bows are in tune, unless you change your strings, they should pretty much stay put.

    Did you move your anchor point a couple inches?

    You might need some anti-torque rods.

    Check the QAD and see if its still tight. Im betting the rest come loose.

    Everything was tight an where I had left it before to get it to shoot straight I had to move the rest 1/8 of an inch. Where would be the place to get it tuned? The shop I bought it pretty much just bolted on my sight an rest put peep in an that was the extent of tuning they did. I want new strings an what can I get for a cable slide upgrade?

    Not sure where in northern Indiana your at. But TAZ archery in Woodstock IL is worth the drive.

    Arrow weight is simple to explain. I would prefer to catch a baseball going 100mph then a baseball made of lead going 70mph.

    Might want to make sure your anchor is solid and consistant ,also this bow seems to be sensitive to grip placement and shooter induced torque hope this helps.Chris

    Same thing happened to me yesterday. Picked up a 2012 LH Answer last week. Traditions Archery in Rochester did a fantastic job setting up this bow. By far this is one of the best bows I have ever shot and I have owned alot over the past 24 years. Saturday night I shot out to 80 yards with no problems. Flew a Shuttle T 125 at 60 yards. No problem. I put the bow away in my air conditioned room. Sunday afternoon I started shooting and noticed a slight wobble in the arrow. I grabbed the same broadhead arrow and shot it at 60 yards. The arrow hit 8 inches to the right. I ran in and shot it through paper and was getting a left tear. Nothing changed the tear, moving the rest, shooting an overspined arrow, shooting an underspined arrow. All my marks on the cam are still in spec. I did notice that both top and bottom cams have a pretty noticeable lean.
