Wow i did change bottom cam positon to the right just by swiching spacers from the right to the left and boom the paper tunne was perfect That bow was untunable now its perfect Thank you a lot for this tip
What you said starting at the 3:24 mark can't be stated enough. I have a Switchback XT that has a left lean on the top idler wheel at full draw (as verified when I put it on my draw board), but it'll throw a fletched shaft, bare shaft, and a broadhead tipped shaft at the same spot on the target. If I twist/untwist my yokes to straighten the top idler out at full draw, my arrow flight is terrible and I have a left nock tear through paper.
Good video, i can get my bow out of the basement.... no joke ive been calling it Biden because it's been in the basement and leaning so hard left... That's not a joke, it's true
New strings on my bow and my top cam is way left. Put them on as they cam out of the clips and i even use string holders for third hands. Just to get it straighter id have to add atleast 7 twist to the right buss cable? It does not seem that adding that much twist is correct. Ive left it alone and havent done anything yet. Ofcourse my specs are over or under here or there but the cam is my biggest concern. What now?
I know this video is 7 years ago but just found it. I have a question if you’re still available. I have a hoyt vtm( sorry)… bare shaft tuning i have a slight (1/4”) right and high. At 10’ from paper. My cams are really close to right limb( maybe 1/8” at the very most). Set at 68# . 29” arrow 300 spine. My upper cam seams to really be leaning a lot.
Spacers come in different thicknesses by rearranging the spacers you are in essence moving the cam from left to right. When you have perfect arrow flight that's when you know your cams are in the perfect position on that axle. That's with the arrow parallel to the riser
I have a bow shop trying to tell me that my new Hoyt Defiant Turbo could have cam lean and that this is perfectly normal? I have never heard this. Is this correct?
From what I know it goes something like this: at rest the cams may lean a little left (or right) while at full draw they will lean a little right (or left). What this does is cause the cams to be perfectly in line at the midpoint of the power stroke. It's not a perfect system, but is actually quite effective in most cases. Like he said in the video, his wife's bow tunes perfectly with a little cam lean. Each bow is different and cam lean may or may not be a problem for accurate shooting. What you don't want is cam lean so severe it causes wear on the serving.
Predominantly shimming, if you have split limbs you could swap limbs. The limb swap is most effective for bows like PSE where the limbs have their stiffness marked.

Thanks for this video, my bottom cam was so far left it wanted to bring back the Soviet Union
LMAO!
😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I appreciate this video. K.i.s.s. i like the running a straight edge along the cam idea. Dont know why i havent thought of that.
where can you buy those spacers?

Great video. Thank you
Great explanation! Thank you!
In order to correct bad aero flight I would have to move my arrow rest away from the riser. which way do I move the cams?
Great explanation, thank you.
Same with PSE XF and newer bows?
Will cam lean throw shoot off
Well......what do you do now that you know the width of the spacers?????????

How about the mathews bow without Yoke cam

how would you correct it on a binary cam system?
Predominantly shimming, if you have split limbs you could swap limbs. The limb swap is most effective for bows like PSE where the limbs have their stiffness marked.
Great if you got yokes....if you got a two track cam...doesn't help much
You do not now have that with a prime
BOIWTECH YOU DONT NEED SPACERS
yeehaww
Nope just need a facemask and body armour for when the limbs explode
Useless! Bows that have no spacers like older models then what
