Bowtech owners....learn from my mistake

[HeyMikey]

I also posted this on "around the campfire": I own a used 2009 Captain, which I bought about 3 months ago, and it is a fine bow. The cam axles on this bow, require a screw on each side; not a grooved shaft with a "C" ring. Well...long story shory short, I learned the hard (and expensive) way, that you just snug those screws, then back them off 1/4 of a turn. Bottom line....I'm gonna be looking at replacing both cams now. Wish I'd have known then, what I know now...........

Wow that $ucks. Hope you get it fixed soon

Last year the guys at the bow shop snapped one of the screws on my Destroyer and they fixed it. The bow was sent to a shop and they drilled out the broken thread part of the screw. You might try this first and safe a bunch of money. I think the screws run around fifty bucks. Any questions call me at 979-571-3235.

I'll take it into the shop (Santa Fe) on Monday and see what they have to say. Cheaper and easier is always better in my book, but if I screwed it up, I'll just have to bite the bullet and get it fixed, because it is a really nice bow.

That sux. I hate learning like that. Hope you get everything fixed up without spending too much more $. Get it fixed, that is a great bow.
