Cascade Tuning/Black Widows... and frustration sets in!!

I'll add to those that say that not every bow is right for every shooter. You may just have a nice bow that isn't right for you.

Well Gents, the Cascade has a new home and is going out later this week to a fellow tradganger... I will be picking up the Widow Thurs or Fri and I am super-stoked!!  I threw a few outta it last week and it is the bow for me for certain!!  I'll post it up when I get it : )

Hello All,

I traded for a nice Cascade Golden Hawk Mag Deluxe recently.  The bow is 60@28" 52 AMO.  I pull split fingers and am trying to tune up Easton Axis FMJ Dangerous Game arrows with an EFOC setup.  Currently, the specs are: 300 spine, 30.5", 300 grs up front with insert and tip.  I am using a newly twisted B50 string, Musk Ox silencers.  BH is at around 8" (tried lower around 7 1/4-7 1/2 and it really didn't tune well).  The arrow wobbles a little, not much.  In fact I bet a 4-fletching set up would negate it.

I've also got a Golden hawk mag, same draw weight as yours..I think you are really too stiff with 300 spine and even more with B50 !
I draw 29" and with a TS+ 18strands I use 400 spine with 145grains BH and 100 grains brass inserts (30" arrows)
I asked Steeve Gorr, he recommends 7" (!!) brace height.

Oh man, I bet that PSR is pretty nice!  Betcha can't wait.  I wish the bow shops I went to had trad bows.  Every once in a while I see one, but not often.
