Mathews Help?

[Leemo]

I bought a used Mathews Legacy, great bow, shoots great, QUESTION, on this particular bow, can I shorten the draw length?.......on the cam where the string connects there are little "tabs" 1,2,3, it's hooked on #1, if I move it to 2 or 3 will this shorten or make the draw longer?

thanks!

If your new Mathews SoloCam bow is equipped with a “StraightLine” MaxCam(Legacy),
which is draw length specific, there is no adjustment on the cam. Other Mathews
cams are adjustable for draw length and come set at the longest draw length setting
unless your retailer has indicated otherwise. Mathews offers several cam sizes to
help ensure optimum draw length and performance for your measurements and
shooting style. The draw length on your bow is adjustable on the cam a maximum of
one inch down from the peak draw length. This is accomplished by moving the
string loop to any of three adjustment posts on either side of the cam. The number
1 post would be the longest draw length for that particular cam. For example: to
shorten the draw by 1/2", the string would be moved to the number 2 post on both
sides of the cam. The Mini MaxCam can be adjusted down from its peak draw
length, approximately 1/2". This is accomplished by moving the string loop to the
secondary post on the cam.



Also note: Be sure to only set cam rotation and ATA and BH with the limbs maxed and on the #1 pegs. Then back off limbs and or change your draw and let the specs were they fall. Do not tune the bow on any other than the #1 peg and the limbs maxed.

I don't think you can get a full inch that way, at most 1/2"

The 2004 manual states the Legacy is Not adjustable, maybe that was "original" design... without the posts.
Could very well be a misprint though. I vaguely remember(CRS) the 2 Legacy's I've owned had posts.

you sure it's a Legacy cam? Got a pic?

It will adjust about 5/8 to 3/4" shorter on that cam. No more than that
