I thought he was talking about actually changing strings not just twisting them.
String and Cable tipsOn a 2-cam bow:Shorten string, leave cables the same = shorter draw, lower weight, little change in Brace HeightLengthen cables, leave string the same = shorter draw, lower weight, slightly lower Brace HeightShorten cables, leave string the same = longer draw, higher weight, slightly higher Brace HeightLengthen string, leave cables the same = longer draw, higher weight, little change in Brace HeightShorten string and cables by the same amount = same draw length, higher Brace Height and higher weightLengthen string and cables by the same amount = same draw length, lower Brace Height and lower weight.On a 1-cam bowAll the same, except for last 2 - to keep same draw length, you need to shorten/lengthen the string by 2X as much as you do on the cable (because the string goes between the ends of the bow twice, not once).The actual amount of change varies depending on the bow and the amount of cable/string change.Dick

Especially if you want it to shoot through paper or have any hopes in shooting a broadhead with it. It can be out of time more than a dual cam bow and still work ok, but it does need to be timed and will play in to getting the axle to axle right, the tiller, and draw weight correct.
Wouldn't any of those adjustments void the warranty?
Oh yeah almost forgot, thanks for the great tips Dick! That`s great idea to get as much info out there as possible! I like you really enjoy helping others when i can.
