My new bow, cam cockeyed?
« on: October 17, 2014, 08:19:21 AM »
ok so i got my new bow 2 days ago and i noticed if i am looking at my cam from the back, straight on it appears that one limb tip is slightly higher than the other making my cam look a little cockeyed. almost like one string side has more twists than the other. i dont want my string coming off track, is this possible or am i imagining this?

When the cables are pulled to the side by the cable guide (necessary for fletch clearance) it causes the cams to lean a little to that side.  If you have any concerns just bring it on in, and we will take a look at it.  I told you when you bought it to come in for a free re-fit and re-tune, because I figured, like all bows, it would need it.  I'm there from 11 to 7 today.

Most bows will have a slight lean in the top cam when tuned. As long as its not so extreme that the cable will come off.
