Sent a bow that was already listed for sale to be tested, or at a minimum let this tuner (wasn't going to post about the fact that HA has ties to SA - but glad someone did), send it out for a test while it's listed for sale. AJB you may in fact be innocent in all this aside from picking someone to work on a bow he has never worked on before.
I know if I sent my bow to Scottie for a tune up and found he was sending it out for extra curricular activities without me knowing about it, Scottie wouldn't be my dealer any longer. Secondly, if he couldn't tune it because it was the first time he had touched that brand and model, Scottie is professional enough to make some calls and find someone who knows something about the bow. Say an authorized dealer of said brand, and educate himself about said bow and it's tuning characteristics. Or, he would get on a forum like this and read posts by the designer about how to tune and setup said bow, not send it out for a test because of a personal agenda (advance SA agenda and reputation at K&K expense), to a tester with a personal agenda (sell his product).
But maybe I expect too much...
i see your a trouble maker son. No when the bow was sent to the guy who did the nock travel test,,,,the bow was NOT for sale.
Stop popping off at the mouth in trying to make people look like a liar with a conspiracy theory. It's almost like you are trying to protect or hide something. My guy was having a hard time getting the bow to paper tune with several different arrows.
He came to the conclusion or surmised the bow had a nock travel issue because a stiff arrow masks up nock travel issues on paper tuning.....and yes I ask for all my bows to be paper tuned because I not only want my arrows to hit where I look with tight groups,,,I want a tightly spun arrow in order to get full energy on impact and better penetration then a wobbly arrow.
the following day apparently old buck did his test.
As for me getting pissed at him,,,listen,,,i know this guy since he was a kid. If he took the bow and wrapped it around a pole,,,i wouldn't say a word,,,big deal.
The bow was NOT for sale. The bow was in an attempt to be finished with a "normal" close to IBO arrow. When it was determined this was not possible,,,I pained over putting it up for sale. This nock test was done before I put the bow up for sale,,,or before my brother put it up for sale on AT.
Frankly I don't have a horse in the nock travel deal,,,,I'm a car dealer not a bow engineer. I draw my bow back and drill the center out as best I can of whatever i'm hunting. I don't shoot foam or shoot paper,,,I hunt to relax from a stressful business i'm in.
My guy i have to believe in,,,why ??? I know him for 15 years,,,and he's done me some slam up set ups over these years that I've piled up tons of meat with. I got no complaints with him,never have.
Looking back I might have been better off buying the bow thru a "K" bow dealer,,,and not getting a 70 pounder but a 60 pounder in my thinking that a 60 wouldn't need such an extreme 300 arrow.
I really do believe the buyer of this bow will enjoy it and this bow is not a reject,,,cause if it was I would have sent it back.
I DID contemplate sending it back to have Kevin paper tune it. Actually I DID PAY to have it paper tuned by him,,,,but with the great communications that happens,,,i was not given notice enough to send a rest and arrows nor was given an address to send them to. I offered to pay Kevin to put a QAD rest on and he said there were no shops nearby,,,and frankly he was smoking with work. So i said send the bow to Connecticut after I talked to my boy there to set it up. So i'm probably due a paper tune fee refund come to think of it.
I really do want to keep this bow,,,I really had bought some sharp black with blue highlites accesories including the arrows.
There is no agenda with strother or K and K. I almost bought a S71 today come to think of it. Loved the grip on it.
Stop the accusations and conspiracy stuff,,,you're way off base and you look like a trouble maker in doing so.
Peace
