[stryker93]

What do you reference when checking cam timing on the general?

Thanks

You wil have to try asking those types of questions on an Archery Related discussion board.
oops, I forgot, this IS an archery board. Well, sorry I don't know. but here's a bump for you. Hopefully someone will come along soon and answer.

I'm making an assumption that it is a Binary Cam system. We had a good thread about Binary Cam timing back last year and I had it bookmarked but when I go to the bookmark a "brisket cooking" thread comes up. I have done a search for the thread and it doesn't come up. Did we lose some stuff last year?

Maybe Rocky will see this thread and shed some light.

I do not have a bowtech, but on my Hoyt there are "stops" on the cams. I like to have the stop on my top cam pushing against the string a little before my bottom cam hits it. It is pretty easy to adjust...just put a couple of twists in your control string or take a couple out until you get it how you want it. I hope this is what you meant! Good luck!

There is a series of dots etched on the edge of the cams, and I set them the same while maintaining +1 lb over peak weight.
Spec the bow out at max poundage +1.
Make sure the ATA and Brace is right and the dots are the same from the edge of the limbs.
Now check draw length and letoff.
You can improve the rollover feel by using the draw-stop peg.
The peg is oblong and just rotating it can get you a smoother transition to full draw.

Thanks guys. Rocky, do the cams need to be timed at full draw like the rest of the binaries? I couldn't find anything to use as a reference.

Thanks

I time the Binary cams while the bow is at rest, not full draw.
