    Two products I haven't seen wrote of;
    SimiChrome Polish by Happich. Comes in a tube like tooth paste. I hand polished everything on my 1972 Harley Davidson Sportster.

    ATA,how long is too long?

    What I look for is the bow making listed max draw weight. At one time the industry standard was said to me (another company) that +/- 3/8" was a given tolerance. I have yet to find a bow that much...

    Weird prob. with my Shadowcat

    10 yards off seems quite a bit. My first Shadowcat had the upper 1/3 riser shift, almost 1/8", but it stayed there and I had no issues. Even tried to buy the bow as is, but Martin wanted it...

    Need Help ASAP

    Don't mean to beat it into the ground, but like I've said in other threads, correctly timed I've found nock setting is near zero, usually 1/16" high. And even today 1/8" high is acceptable - not me,...

    Yes, but just saying if a rod can be bent for this then a offset rod can be made.

    Just wondering how much one should be offset and then for marketing purposes leave the rod ends long with...

    Scepter V target archery

    Pretty sure Carlos has one of the first Shadowcats to come out. It has the more squarish riser grip. Later in 2010 Martin contoured the grip and it felt much nicer.
    I had/have 3 of the Shadowcats,...

    T8,
    You skipped over some info.

    T8, basically it's simplicity. Straight rods work for everything, just not all that perfect. I have the steel offset guide rod on my Shadowcat and can adjust clearance as I so deem.

    Bling for bows...is that wrong?

    Banana grip

    It's been a while back, but when I first tried the banana style grip of both the Onza and Nemesis I wasn't fond of them and I'm still not. So it seems Elite has something on the same order, a banana...

    Yes, Barry, limbs, cams, strings, one piece riser, slightly shorter ata. Otherwise, not a great difference in both bows other than the banana curve grip of the Scepter V. It just feels a bit...

    First time 3D shooter

    Yes, this is very much allowed for newbies. Our club does this, but scores are not allowed to be posted.

    Me, I try to shoot from the Cub stake, but they won't let me. Bummer... :(

    Alignment question

    Absolutely nothing wrong with your arrow and a darned good one.

    Like WildWilt, note the bow string in the cams, more left of the center and if your bow is shooting fine, shoot it.

    First time 3D shooter

    Gots to agree with Barry. Judging yardage is secondary for the first couple of 3Ds. Getting use to shooting 3D is enough to handle. Them dang 3D critters are something different than shooting targets...

    Don't have much. No one talking about the Scepter V.

    However, there is no reason I know of that would detract from it being a class act. 40" ata, 7" brace height, darn nice cams. Owning a 2011...
