Title: Where to get compound bow technical education?
Post by: deanosborne on January 13, 2011, 09:59:10 AM: Where to get compound bow technical education?

Good day to all, anyone know where to get educated on the technical aspects of a/my compound bow? I would like to learn more about tuning my own bow, the cause and affect, and the what, where, when, and why. What does ATA affect? What is cam lean and how it affects my shot, etc. etc. etc. Does Mathews have a compound bow technician manual? Anyway if anyone can recommend any good books, resources or classes, that information would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks, and have a great day!!!
