Title: CAM TOUCHING LIMB?
Post by: Threebyfour on January 08, 2009, 08:57:08 AM: Hey guys was hoping someone could give me some advice,I just aquired a 2006 bowtech tribute, and noticed after a couple days that the bottom cam at rest is contacting the limb,and the top one is very close as well. Is this "normal"? If not, is it fixable?

If you sight down the cam you should see that it has taken a taco shape to it. Most the time it is an easy fix, you will have to have the bow shop guys order a new set of cams and axles. Just be sure to have them look closely at the limb pockets, for cracking or any wear. Also, make sure you take it to a bowtech dealer, if you don't and it is a warranty issue, as soon as it is put in the press...warranty is voided
