    Monster chill problem


    Has anyone come across this ?
    The cam is not straight with the string , I used an arrow up against the cam to show how the cam isn't aligned with the string. This was causing me to shoot 3 inches to my left randomly. This bow has NEVER been dry fired

      wow...if you zoom in you can actually see the cam slanted left from the right split limb. I'm def not an expert, but i'd say either the pin holding the cam is bent or the bushings in the cam are worn. again, no expert here, i've never fixed/messed with cams, but basic mechanics are, well, basic. I wouldn't shoot it like that. just begging for an accident

        Mine was like that, ended up getting new limbs and cams under warranty. In my case the axle bushings had blown. Take it to an authorized dealer.

          You have the stick in between the limbs on the bottom but on outside the limbs on the top??

              A bow is a mechanical device. It is highly doubtful that a mechanical issue such as the one you are thinking you see, would cause any random problem. It would be a problem on every single shot.

              But if you think it is a problem, you should take it in and see what a technician tells you. I can't see anything wrong with that bow.

                To me, it actually looks like one of the split limbs is out of alignment. Letting the entire cam lean to that side. The left side looks kind of funny for some reason. If it were me I'd take it in and have that looked at for sure. I wouldn't want to be holding it when one of those bottom limbs let go.

                  I was thinking the same thing, but the picture isn't square to the limbs, so I didn't go there. need to take the pick and rotate it to where the limbs are square and then see.

                    Ok your good. All bows have cam lean. Right hand bow you check on the left side of cam. Not right. As long as arrow crosses string close to the top of center serving your good. People worry to much about cam lean. Even the famous bowtech overdrive cam. You put cam lean into when you bare shaft tune. As long as it is straight at full draw. That's where it matters not at rest. Remember right hand bow test on left side of cam

                        What enewman said. I have a Chill, too. When I first noticed the lean on the top cam, I freaked out and went straight back to the shop. They told me exactly the same thing and showed me what to look for. The bow shoots bullet holes and was dead on when I walk back tuned. Any variance in shot has been because of ME or fletching contact. The only time I've ever had a problem with random shots was when the string stop came lose and was hitting the cables. Move your arrow over to the other side of the cam, and it will cross the string near your d loop.

                          As stated above "cam lean". Straight at full draw is whats important....but an overall helps with tuneablity . The flex guard on BowTech "Helps" reduce amount overall. (this is why sight pins are not centered with string).

                          "Cam lean" WON"T effect random shots it will be every shot...since all a bow can do is return to its original form. But it can effect arrow flight and bow "forgiveness"

                            Mine cams are the same way and it won't paper tune at close range but shots thru paper fine past 10 feet I took it back to the shop and they told me it's ok they done something called a walk back tune and at 40'yards it will put all 3 arrows in a golf ball size group

                              Today I took it to the bow shop they measured it and said it was within tolerance but if it leans more I will have to get the limbs replaced. They said they have seen rare cases where the lean is out of spec. They said they do lean but they have a tolerance due to floating. As far as the shooting to the left .....maybe it's me :-/
                              Not sure I like this " floating" cams
