    Bows with rollers instead of cable sllde question

    I was shooting a Reezen with rollers for the cables at the local archery shop. Since it's a discontinued model now he can discount his floor model- and wants $560 with the Mathews drop away rest and a Cobra sight- it's a great price IF I was on the market for a new bow.


    What I noticed was when I held the bow up to the target but did not draw it, I could see the whole orange ring on the sight. But when I drew the bow and looked through the peep, I could not see the right side (3 o'clock position) of the orange ring, and it was obvious to me that I was not looking at the parallel sides of the riser. The bow was rotating slightly clockwise (from above) as I drew it.

    One owner said it was my grip. The other later said that happens sometimes with the rollers instead of a cable slide. Anybody know?

    The Reezen was nice to shoot.

    It sounds like hand torque due to squeezing and hand placement. As an archery tech for three yrs, i would see this problem over and over. draw the bow with ur hand closed tightly on the grips. focus on the sights. and the n open ur completely to see if the bow moves then. it should because u released the torque and tention on the bow. good luck

      My grip was completely open, and the contact point was only on the web of my hand. I can understand torquing the riser after the arrow is released, but at when at fill draw.
