Martin draw length ajustment??
Aloha All,
I think I could shorten my draw length a bit since Im using a release now and am hoping someone on here may of had to do this to there bow.
It's a 2000 Martin Jaguar with Z cams . I have different modules for it . Do I need a press ?? Im shooting spot on but I dont think Im reaching the full wall as Im anchored. Would this cause less power to my arrow??
If anyone has any idea's please help me out
, Martin forum got me zero replys and there manual for this bow is unavailable[:@] Well thanks again ladies and gents , Happy Holidays.

You do not need a press to change the draw length with the Z-cams.
You simply remove the screw holding the module in place, pop that module off, and replace it with a longer/shorter module depending on what you're trying to accomplish.

ijimmy,
Thanks for idea. I was on the Martin home site and they have a forum there.
How's this . I checked out the bolts holding in my modules last night and my top module was missing one screw , and the otherscrew was just barely threaded in. It could of fell out at any moment. So I took care of it with another screw and its all good to go.
I did have to put my string on a hanger and pull down bow with one hand so cams would rotate to get acess to the screws . Was interesting put got it done.
Also left draw length alone because my martin only adjust in 1 inch increments so Im gonna stay were I'm at.
Thanks guys for the replys

Paka,
You should not have had to move your string at all to access the screws holding your modules in place.
An allen wrench should fit in perfectly the way the bow is without drawing it at all.

paka,
A lot of bows with mods may have the module screws behind the limb. Quite common in fact. There's nothing wrong here. It's just the way it is. The easy way to do this is often to just squeeze the cable or pull it toward the riser and then do what you gotta do with the screws. If there is too much tension for you to hold the cable then you might try using a zip-tie to hold it while you move the module.
Better yet, get you a portable bow press like the Bowmaster and you'll be able to do a lot of other things as well.

Well all I know is that this is my bow set up with the Z-cams. As you can see, the allen bolts are next to the limb, not underneith them. The allen wrench fits right up against the limb when I back the bolts out.

paka,
You're OK. Don't worry about it. Looking at your cam it looks like you can get a wrench on them. If not just squeeze the cable a little to rotate the cam.
