tech hunter exterminator

[Misty Meadow Ranch]

got the gander mountain 2008 techhunter exterminator made by bowtech. overall happy with the bow but one prob im finding is at 35 yards or so arrows really start dropping bad any ideals how to get more out of it. shooting a whisker biskit and 67 pound pull

[hoyt_shooter101]

What type of arrows are you currently shooting out of it? What accs do you have on the string ex wiskers/loop etc.? You could also increase draw weight as long as the arrows are spined to allow you to do so.Decrease the weight of the field points, there are lots of ways to get speed but also there may be trade offs as far as the accuracy goes.You are the only one who tell where your limits are.

Was everything really tuned correctly or did you just buy it off the shelf....could be an issue

bow was set up by the store and then took to a proshop and they redid some things. i shoot carbon express maximas with a 100 grain tip. there is a nook loop and two whiskers a g5 peep and a kisser button on draw string.

are you shooting 250's or 350's?

and how much are we talking when you say it drops at 35 yards? a few inches or a foot?

[Misty Meadow Ranch]

shooting 350 which is what it called for. from 20 to 35 yards its 6 inches or so after that you can just watch it fall

Just how well does the bow shoot at 20 yds are you getting a 2" or less group? Did you group them at 30 yds? Check your vanes to make sure one is not loose, sometimes the wb tears them up. Is it one shaft or all? Trying to help!

Like the post before asked how well are your groups at 20yds,if your not used to shooting 35 yds it may just take some practice and you may see your groups improve,The bow does have a forgiving brace height of 7.25,on previous bows that I owned with similar specs as yours I had about 4 in drop at 35 yds using my 20 yrd pin as reference.Your rest that you have will drop arrow speed about 1-2 fps in testing that I've done in the past,with all the accs you have on the string you maybe losing about 10fps as from past tests.There are few bows out there that will shoot spot on at 20 and be right there at 35 as well.Those bows that do have short brace heights in the range of 5.5 to 6.5 and when shooting them you better make sure your shooting form is rock solid.I honestly think with a little more time getting used to your bow( assuming it's relativly new to you) your groups at longer range will shrink but it will never be dead nuts without using a 2nd sight pin.Just my thoughts.

just got done shooting we cranked the bow up to almost 70 pounds at 20 yards i can keep a 2 tto 3 inch group then useing the 20 yard pin at forty they drop about 13 inches on average. didnt bother moving out to fifty cause im not confident there. i had a diamond liberty before that was only 60 pound max and could keep a 3 to 4 inch group at fourty and i dont recall there being such a drop. contemplating switching to a ripcord or qad rest.

[Non Typical]

That being said that your arrows are dropping 13" at 35 yds using your 20 yd pin is normal. If you are going to shoot more than 20 yds set a pin for that most will set one every ten yds 20-30-40-50-60 for a 5pin site 20-30-40 yd for a 3pin site. If you are shooting only one pin try adjusting to 35 yds. You will still hit the kill on a deer at 20 out to 40 yds. If your bow is tuned correctly great. You might try haveing someone help you on this.
