Setting up kids bow


BoxMN

Recommended Posts

Hi all, just quick question before I take kids Vortex bow into a real bow setup guy smile

I set it up and it is hitting dead on at 10 yards yards, in the middle of target, but using the bottom pin. The sight is all the way DOWN. I cannot go any lower. Meaning the top two pins are useless to even try to get longer pins set, as they just hit too low. Granted, the sight is pretty carppy.

It is set at I think 21" and 27#. I used a nock square when setting nock and also installed a whisker bisquick rest. It all seems set up right, but was my first time so I must have messed it up some. I followed directions I saw and read online, with the nock like 1/16th above the square.

Granted the arrows are all still full length, I did not get them cut off, and the poundage is sort of low, but how do adjust nock or the rest (it doesn't really allow raising it at all) to try to make it so the sight has more adjustment down?

I know, I should take it in, but want to try this on my own first. Oh yeah, I do not have the peep installed yet, got to get serving thread. Thanks for any advice. Also (yep one more question) my granddaughter wants to use her fingers instead of a release. Should we just let her and encourage her to get good with fingers, or try to get her to accept the release? Thnx again.

DonBo I know I should head out there, but with her soccer it is tough right now to get much time - but I will try, I think she will really like it. Grandson wants a bow now for his birthday, so more are coming around. smile

Getting more yardage out of the sight might just be as simple as changing her anchor point.

If she wants to shoot fingers and feels more comfortable and confident doing so, let her. She'll let you know when she's ready to step up to a release.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
