[RIO]

My ata should be 34 7/8'' it's at 351/4 right now what do i need to do to get it corrected.I want to get it right before i time the cams.THANKS

Is the draw length right? and total weight right?
You can take twist out of the cables and the string and change ATA and keep the weight the same.. If you pay attention you can keep the draw length pretty close also. maybe a tad shorter depends where it is now.
Look at the tune charts you will see twists out of the string increase weight. twists out of cable lower weight. Both will lengthen the ATA measurements.

I have not checked the dl yet because i have a ? on that to i have a elite rubber grip on it and do not know what to allow for that.The dw is right at 60lbs. with 60lbs limbs on it.I just got my bow time machine in and really want to get everything right with the bow.Really do not have any knowledge on what to start with what to check first and how to do it but i am willing to listen and learn becuse the bow soots good now and know it will shoot alot better when everything is correct.THANKS

Allow 1/8th for the rubber grip. Because the deepest part is still only about 1/8th thick.
If its shooting awesome I wouldnt do but small adjustments at a time. You can maybe find a tad better performance or not.
Feel and results is where you need to spend time now. just try it and go back if you dont like it.
I look at peak weight and how many inches into the draw cycle to reach it. If your a 30 inch draw length you will have two of these points. once at 6.5 or 7 inches and another around the end before break over into the valley. 29 or less you dont see this. Dont know why but its there.
Read the tune charts and take notes of what you do. so you can come back if its worse. You can find all kinds of info on here too. Its fun to learn. and frustrating.

Well i got the draw length set right and bh is right and the draw stops touching at the same time the only thing i need to do now is get the ata right and time the cams a little bit.MY holding weight is 16lbs. does this sound right.

Holding weight seems reasonable, that is a 75% let off

The GT500 tunes out best at 34 5/8" ATA As long as you have your draw length and draw weight perfect it should spec out to 34 5/8 and you attain the perfect tune. Don't worry about brace because its just not that important.

I agree. He is at 34 1/4 which is a little tight. But if its on for DL and weight Id sync the cams and go really.

Actually my ata is 35 3/16'' and the book says it should be 34 7/8'' so it's about 3/8 long if i am thinking right.So i think i will try putting twist into the string and cables so it will decrease the ata and try to time it at the same time.Well what little hair i do have should be gone after this Lol!!Thanks fellas for any help ya''ll can give me.
