I called Rex today and feeling a little better about things now that I understand the two piece riser a little better. When I checked the riser bolts( a few weeks ago at Bass Pro) and two of the three that were loose going up through the riser,I took them out,one at a time,lock tighted them and put them back in,one by one. Well that was WRONG! There is a sequence that has to be followed when doing that and it's as follows:
1) put the bow in a press and remove strings.
2)remove the forearm
3) remove the 3 screws from the bottom
4) Remove the 2 screws going through the side of the riser
5) Lock tight the two screws going through the side of the riser and just snug them up
6) Lock tight the 3 screws going up through the bottom and just snug them up.
7) Tighten the 2 screws in the side as tight as you can get them
Here is the part I didn't know!!!
8) Tighten the BACK screw first,then the middle one and finally the TOP screw last!
9) Go back to the first screw and re tighten again in the same sequence.
10) put the forearm back on
Apparently,this tunes the riser to sit properly and therefore eliminating the down force to a minimum,by raising the limbs and allowing the string to run more level with the rail. He explained it as like installing a scope as far as tightening those 3 screws in sequence a couple times and now it makes sense to me. Hopefully my press will be here by this weekend and I'm breaking it down and trying again.
Glad I finally broke down and called Rex,he is such a nice guy and told me if I have any problems to just send it in and they would take care of it!
