I have the Spot Hogg Laser Aligner Tool, I have the Phase 4, I have the Top Hats Kit, I have the Draw Board. I aligned it so the laser is hitting the groove of each cam, top and bottom. Arrows are spined correctly, Cam timing perfect, Centershot at 13/16"........ I get a left tear no matter what arrow I shoot. What in the heck am I doing wrong. I am not a new archer, have bullet holes with my other bows. Upper cam needed one set of tophats, bottom cam another but the lazer points correctly to both at full draw. LMK your thoughts MFJJ.

So I bought the laser, but the top hats that are parallel make my arrow sit at 11/16” instead of the 13/16” Mathews recommends, to get them to flying well. In the video if I understand it correctly you say once they are aimed at each other you should move them together, however when I do that to get back close to the 13/16”, they are no longer close to being aimed at each other, any suggestions? Or what do you feel like is more important? Or does it even matter if I get good arrow flight, as that’s what we’re all going for!

Regular drills have the tendency to rotate in hand while impacts don’t
Ever run into those top hats not coming out easily? Mine are horrible to remove, like needed to use a punch and hammer to tap them out. They slide out easy on my old VXR.

I think the rubber between the limbs on the new phase 4 makes them harder to remove. I know my shop uses a old top hat to press them out. I got lucky on my phase 4, as I did not need to change them out.

@@charleszielke2634 yeah I never looked inside the hole to see if the rubber was maybe binding a bit, but that makes sense. Thankfully not something you need to adjust very often.
Anyone know what laser he’s using?
I've been signed up a while. Got a new phone so I can get wifi calls ;)
I’m glad I shoot a Bowtech! It’s a hell of a lot easier to tune!
So hope I win one of those bows I would love for an excuse to go out there
What lazer do you have that you’re using? I’d like to get one.

Spot hogg makes that laser
I can’t be the only one that wants to send MFJJ my bow and see how horrible he thinks it’s set up.
Fingers crossed
I would love to sign up for this but I am 67 years old and follow you on you tube, but Instagram, I have no idea what that is.
I know it’s not for sale but doesn’t change the fact i want one of your draw boards!!! What laser is that???

@@Lurch51212 Yea, sure. I mean, its not as easy as turning a screw on the limb but, if you've go access to a press, its a very good and easy system. I have seen some nasty tears removed by just flipping the the top cam hats around.

Still doing giveaways?
I really want mfjj to tune my bow
Lol at the BowTech fanboys acting like Mathews owners have to do this every Saturday. Meanwhile Mathews has the #1 selling Flagship bow in the country.

Go bow tech
So let me understand this. Mathews produces a $1400 bow that basically cannot produce a bullet hole tear without buying parts, moving cams and stuff?
What is the Instagram account?
They could have color coded them🤦♂️. Wouldn’t independent limb bolts be easier?

If they would have colored them then people would complain about the color they need not matching the color scheme they want… it’s really not difficult especially since it’s dang near a one and done deal

They are marked with lines that easily ID how to pair them
And this is why we buy smart cam from Bowtech
Seems very complicated.
Disassembly for top hat tuning and having to wait for draw length modules which may not be in stock are two reasons to avoid the Mathews brand.
This makes me happy to shoot a Bowtech.
What a pain in the rear. Just buy a Bowtech. You can fix your bad arrow flight even at elk camp.
