This is hopefully a continuing thread for newbs to ask questions no matter how dumb or technical.
I have 1 step above "never shot a bow before" full newb. After i met totalgirlfriend and learned she had a "modern" compound bow i bought a very cheap, much older compound indian chief because i didnt know shit and knew that spending $hundreds$ would be a waste. Got myself situated with it and at a close range, consistant and repeatably on target. That all changed tonight.
Tonight i won a mathews mission balistc 2.0 (2016-19). Knowing what i dont know i poked mathews site a bit and got absolutely nothing but generic spec ranges and sales broshures. No tuning, particular specs, tunable parts list, or ways to even identify specificaly what i have in hand. Mathews site lists sub modle bow #s but this bow has zero info aside from brand, family, and a serial number that does not match the specific model coding system. The only thing i learned tonight is that there is some coding system for the primary pullies and they are marked b-b and b-c.
So aside from taking myself to an archery shop and burning $ buying their time where is a good source to learn the tuning and parts variances?
A particular book/manual/magazine or a particular youtuber to follow?
Am expecting to much from mathews or is it more of "take it to the pro and spend the money" situation?
