Default Turn down phobiea

This is kind of a on the lighter side post but does appear to apply down here
in the states.

Turn down phobiea is a term that came to mind because I've seen more posts about
poor arrow flight due to everything under the sun including overdraw, underdraw,
stiff spine, weak spine, bad form, out of spec. bows, wrong bow mfg. wrong arrow mfg,
wrong colors on your cresting, nocks unindexed, not enough shooting, too much shooting,
stab is missing, stab is too short, stab is too long or too left or right.



For some reason few people today can get up the muster to do a very simple thing
that will cost no money and simply try to turn down the DW maybe 3 lbs to see if that
makes a diff.

It can be done, it don't cost any paysos and takes little time, but nobody seems to want
to consider it.

Why is that ?

The reason I posted this is because I found out many years ago, I could only go up in DW
at 3lbs per 2 weeks of shooting 3 times a day for at least 15 to 50 shots each time.

If I pushed it and jumped to 4 or 5 lbs of an increase my neck or back muscles ached for
several days after. 3lb increase was the limit within 2 weeks.

Once I realized this I had no problem to "Turn a limb bolt" to fix the problem.
I don't understand why so many people can't seem to figure this out today.

Had to edit this because it is really important to take spec. measurements and put pencil
marks on the equipment BEFORE you change ANYTHING so as you put them back
to where they were before you tinker

You may want to put them back.
Maybe not.
