Hi ,i have just bought a Vaquero and i wondering about the ground balance control.

There's nothing wrong.
Here just do this--turn the GB knob five turns counterclock wise then 2 turns clockwise.
OK
Thats all there is to it.

And special thanks to you too BLOWFLY,

Go to the Tesoro web page. They have manuals posted.

I might add once you get it ground balanced in future hunts any adjustments will generally be small. A little gain, a little loss, whatever, usually no more than a quarter turn. Maybe in some parts of the Country under different soil conditions that may not be true, but here in southcentral Pennsylvania I have to make very few adjustments to the ground balance.

The devil of trying to explain ground balancing a Vaquero it takes so many words to explain. If I were there I could show you in 30 seconds of less.
