Axel To Axel Length After New String Install

[Biggs]

Howdy!

Installed and new sting and cable set. Took a bit to get the cam lean out. My ATA is 1/8" short of spec and the timing hole is a 1/4" from center.

Should I go back in to the bow shop and ask for it to be perfect? Or minuscule enough to not worry about it?

I want to be accurately shooting 80 yards this year so I will need all the help I can get...

It would have to be right for me.

But that's why I seldom use a bow shop

Needs to be right

Your bow will not Feel the same, different draw weight, draw length, holding weight, valley, aiming will all result from that plus tuning differences

I would take it back.. They should have caught that!

It really depends, A2A is not a set in stone number and neither is the timing reference.

What they should have done is marked the cam and measured the A2A before they removed the old strings. This way they could have put it back together exactly how it was so it felt the same.

But don't obsess about the A2A being 'to spec' and the timing reference being perfect; worry about how it is was before you changed the strings, that's what you want duplicated.

i just had new strings put on my bow a couple of weeks ago and my A2A came up 1/4" short as well. I am not fussing about it. You should have noticed that your draw weight increased, as did mine. Mine went from 70lbs +/- to around 75lbs +/-. I wouldnt worry about anything and shoot away. My old set of strings was the original set and 8 years old, so they may have stretched some and I was just used to them. When the new set was installed it just may have brought my bow back to "factory" specs as it was when it left the factory. Just my .02

I would shoot it some for awhile to see if the string "stretches" enough and absorbs that 1/8". Some cams have timing marks to indicate a "range" so +/- 1/8" should be fine imo.

If the bow shop sets your ATA to the exact spec, and after shooting it a couple hundred times and the ATA increases to + 1/8" will you take it back to the bow shop again?

A2A isn't that important, brace and cam timing is, just from my home tuning experience.
