I started this sport just under 6 months ago,and done nothing in the conventional way!. I bought a training bow from the very start. One of those "everything a beginner needs" jobs. As it turns out it's not too bad a bit of kit . My club has said when I upgrade they may be interested in buying the off me ! So anyways right from the start i was hooked. I have always been looking on line for what I think is a nice bow etc. Right from the start of looking I fancied the Kinetic Halo. Don't know why really ,I just did. So I compiled a list of everything I would need , called about half a dozen retailers ,who all agreed I was looking along the right lines. Sadly none of them had in stock all the parts I required. So again I went against the grain and bought items from individual retailers. Armed with the Internet I have set about putting my new intermediate bow together. The Kinetic riser feels a lot better in my hand than the trainer bow does. It feels a lot more balanced too. SF carbon/foam limbs really do have a fantastic finish . No blemishes that I can see so far ,unlike the riser. It has 2 paint runs on the face of the riser . Not big ,but I noticed them all the same . I suppose it makes it unique!! . Well that's what I am telling myself. No instructions in the box with the riser. I did read this before ,but really come on Kinetic how much would it cost to put something together on how to put it all together ? As I said earlier armed with the Internet I have a brace height of 8 3/4" and a top tiller of 1/8 " greater than the bottom limb. I didn't have to adjust the tiller at all so I was lucky on that front. My custom fast flight string was added . A few gentle pulls just in case ,all looks and feels OK. Rechecked everything again . No movement anywhere so brace height and tiller all good . Rested the bow across the back of two chairs to check the limb alignment with the help of my limb blocks. Got a shock as to how small they were when first unpacked them!! All good here ,so to double check I Rested two arrows across the limbs and they both lined up ,after I was able to bend the old knees low enough to look at the arrows. So have I been lucky so far or is this the norm its new archery equipment? Is a thread lock used to make sure the sight bar clamp stays in place on the riser or is it just checked often? I hope to shoot tomorrow evening after work so wish me luck or PLEASE advise me of anything I have forgotten about .
Happy shooting peeps
