I learned something today. I bought a Hoyt Ultramag a few months ago (used), and have had an awesome time shooting the bow. I had a post about paper tuning a while back. I thought the bow was shooting well, but found out today that the yolk wasn't tuned properly. I always noticed that the top cam was tilted (bottom to the right), but didn't know if it was supposed to be that way. I figured that, since the strings are pulled at an angle to the cable guard, this was the reason that the cam was angled. I asked my local archery guy about it, out of mere conversation, and he told me that the yolk had to be adjusted to correct this problem. He shot the bow a couple of times while I stood behind him, and I noticed that the cam tilted even more at full draw. I would never have noticed it if he hadn't shot it with me watching. He put about 4 turns in the right hand string (where the string splits), and the bow shoots much straighter, and waaay quieter. I couldn't believe the difference. Cudos to my Archery guy!!! By the way, his name is Paul Eiland, and he runs a shop out of his garage in Lincoln, Ne. (Paul's Archery). I may be a bit biased, but the bigger stores around here aren't nearly as friendly, and never would have taken the time to try and solve my problem. :peace:
