I have a few questions. My new Gamemaster is giving me fits. Do you guys or girls have to move your sideplate out to get your center shot right. I've been bareshafting and now I have great arrow flight with both cx 150's and some loaded up 250's, but my point of impact is always a couple inches to the right(I'm right handed). Oh, and I'm shooting off the shelf with the factory pads. How many of you shoot a rest? I'd prefer the shelf, but if I have to get a rest, then so be it. 55# @28". I've been thinking it's because the shelf is cut past center, what do you think?
I have a gamemaster 2 and built the shelf out with leather to get the flight and point of impact that I wanted. It sounds like your arrows are weak spined, but you can correct the situation with slowly building out your side plate. FYI I shoot off the shelf. Hope this helps. Mark
i use an indoor/outdoor carpeting i purchased at home depot and glued it to the shelf/window until i got the flight i wanted.
it will shoot beautifully off the shelf...
If you feel like talking give me a call @ 760-815-2586. Mark I have shot one for a couple of years.
I shot mine directly off the shelf with just a layer of velcro on both sides and had no problems with arrow flight. Brass nock was set 1/4" above 0, using a 43-44# (40)GM with carbons. Arrow spine is very particular with the GM I found...
i just use a couple of those thick felt furniture leg pads.....you know you stick them under the legs of chairs and tables:) works great and they dont seem to wear much at all
I also use the furniture felt and have my nock set at 9/16 above 0.

Walmart sells felt pads to go on the bottom of chairs(made in the USA I might add). I`ve cut mine in half stick them together on top one I`ve trimed for the bottom then cut off want you need to. I was shooting to the right come to find out it was my release-back tension(3 in at 20 yards to 6 at 30). Hope this helps
I've been shooting a PSE Coyote for about 2 years now. I started off with shooting off the rest and I had to build out my riser as well. Probably about 3/8 to a half inch.
About a month ago I decided to give a whisker biscuit a try. The reason behind this was to give myself the advantage of being able to switch to a plastic vained arrow at any sight of bad weather.
the only downfall was getting use to my sight picture. The whisker Biscuit hides the tip of the arrow from your field of vision. But if you shoot by staring at your target now, it isn't that hard of an adjustment.
So now, two feathered arrows and 2 plastic arrows go with me into the woods. Makes for a very versitile hunting set-up.
I use a NAP 750 and love it tough and easy to get quite
I think we might be confusing the question. He says he is getting "great arrow flight".
BMFER-
When you say point of impact. Are you refering to where your bareshafts are hitting in reference to you feathered shafts? Or are you talking about your shots are hitting right of where your looking?
If your talking about hitting Right of where you are looking, then yes, moving the center shot will help some. But this will also affect your spine. If you don't want to mess with cutting or getting differnt arrows, just keep shooting. Your mind will learn to adjust to the bow.
I've shot both, the GM and now have the Dorado. I prefer to shoot them with a rest. This allows me to switch from my other bows that are just cut to center back to the Hoyt with out having to relearn the left to right. I also live in Oregon where it rains a lot. So I shoot vanes in the late season.
HTH :)
