Default Binary cam question

How much can you tweek your drawlength with these cams, with the post stop / twisting untwisting strings?

Thanks for the info Rick. Looks like I'll be ordering an allegiance.

Also full 1/2" increments by switching modules on an 06 one.

My draw is in between 27.5- 28 . Just want to get close without effecting let-off. I had several bowtechs with infinity cams, just not familiar with the binaries . I thought the 05 models could lock up at full draw if you twisted the strings /cables to much. Not sure about the 06 models. Should I get the 27.5 modules and tweek up or the 28 modules and tweek the drawlength down? I'm trying to get closer to 80% let off.

The module idea is awesome. I shoot a 32" Old Glory and at the pro-shop (Blueridge Backwoods) they just slapped a different module in and I was all set. It's the same string no matter how long/short you need the draw to be. This is one part that sold me on the Bowtech vs. the Trykon where the draw is pretty much fixed at where you want it with the Zephyr cam

If you want between 27.5 and 28" get the 27.5" and tweak up. Otherwise you won't have as much letoff and you will lose valley.

The only adjustment to these cams should be done with the draw stop. If you twist the cables on a 05 binary cam you run the risk of locking the cams up at full draw. If you over rotate the cams beyond the travel of the stop the cam will lock up. If your draw length is that far off change the cam, many of us still have plenty of 05 cams
