Setting Up Hex 8's
Last week, I received my Hex8 -H limbs from Mellerstain, and shot them for the first time on Saturday.
Putting them into my 25" Tempest riser, and leaving the tiller settings the same as the Hex 7.2-H's that I usually shoot, and using a brace height of 7.25".
I found that I was getting fletch contact on the shelf, in the form of a thin white line,from the top of the fletch, initially at the front of the shelf, and then, when I dropped the bracing height, at the rear.
The measurement from the centre of the button to the top of the shelf is greater than the measurement from the centre of the arrow tube to the top of the fletch, so it would appear that the arrow is dropping after the nock leaves the string.
Tiller measures "Zero, i.e same top/bottom.
I've posed the questions to Sid, but the annual shutdown's just started for the next two weeks.
Does anyone have any thoughts on optimum set up re.tiller to get the best out of the Hex8's please? The centre shot's fine.
I'd also be interested to know the bracing height recommendations for the Hex 8 limbs.
I know that Sid has set up "Hex" groups and "Tempest" groups on Facebook, and that some may exchange information there, but I don't do Facebook or Instagram, so the experiences of other owners would be most interesting and greatly appreciated.
