HOYT Trykon issues

[Trykon]

Hi all, i'm new to this forum.
Just got back from the states a few weeks ago with my new bow.
Anyway its a Trykon. Put on the hoyt sights, rest, quiver and stabiliser which i had from my V-TEC. Anyway for some reason it just doesn't really shoot good groups. At 10m i'm ok, but at 20m its all over the place.

I'm using a drop rest, and i have heard these are not the best rest for the trykon for some reason. On closer inspection i looked at the rest and in the middle of the 2 arrow pin-holders, were heaps of marks from what could only be the arrow fletching.

So i was just wondering, if anyone has had this done to them before. I was thinking of getting a new rest and i'm going t have to.

So which one should i go with?

Just wondering if anyone has used a whisper biscuit? for hunting?

Or i could get smaller fletches, but i think they are already pretty small.

Anyway, if someone has an idea, please let me know.

Firstly welcome aboard dude. Hope you enjoy it here.

Id say do a powder test. i.e get some dactarin and spray it on your fletch and check to see if there is contact.

or get your self a blade rest.. Trophy taker spring steel... they are easier to tune and setup then a drop away. i find drop aways are the cause of alot of peoples heart-aches, and they add another 2 or three points of failure you dont need for hunting or tournament situations. if your worried about broadhead clearance just cut your arrow 1/2"-1" longer.

as for the wisker biscuit i have no idea as i have never shot with one.

I did the powder test. There is a definate mark to where its hitting on the rest.
Now i tried to adjust the rest but being non adjustable its quite hard.
I have been thinkng that if i raise the rest so when i draw the arrow sits quite high, could this make bad arrow flight? And would i have to adjust the nock a bit higher to compensate or not?
If nothing goes right, i might just have to buy a trrophy taker spring steel.

Any suggestions would be great!

Set up the drop-away to be approximately 45 degrees fully erectile (if possible). Adjust the rest's cord to set the rest fully up no more than 2 inches from full draw, and make sure your nocking point is level to 1/8" high (for starters).

What model/brand rest is it?

[Trykon]

Yeah i was reading through one of my hunting books and it occur'd to me that the nock was a little low. I then changed most of the set-up like nock, played with the rest, trying to eliminate the problem'
Anyway, went down the back and it has seemed to have fixed its self. the nock was like 1/3 " lower than level. Shoots better, but still some fine tuning to be done.

Well, from now on i'll make sure i measure my nock position myself.

Thanks for the help guys!

P.S. i'm looking to join the Manly Field Archers, and maybe the Aussie Deer Association. Anyone members of any of these?

G'day Trykon, Mate I'm a member of Manly Warringah Field Archers and if you'd like to have a"look see" let me know. Its a good set up with 3 field ranges and a practice butt area. Were a friendly bunch so if interested drop me a PM and I'll give you all the details (little tricky to find otherwise).
