Worst Question Ever...
I apologize for this general question.....
My father is going to be shooting a 2004 Mathews LX this fall. He has been told that he needs to change the bottom cam to fit his draw length.
Does this mean he will also have to purchase a new string?
He is probably just over any adjustablity for draw length in that first cam.
What his exact measurements are...I am sorry, I don't know. I am more looking for a hard rule that says once you change cams...you have to change strings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You do not have to change string/cables on that bow once you change cams. That cam is also draw length specific. You can get small amounts of adjustability out of it by twisting the cable (twists in to lengthen, twists out to shorten) but only maybe 3/8" or so. Mathews makes cams in 1/2" lengths for draw length. Your best bet is to call your local Mathews shop and have them fix you up with the correct cam and then retime the bow for you.

Make sure you're not going to change the draw length more than a couple inches. I just ran into trouble trying to get a 4" change out of a Mathews, the limbs overload and jack the poundage through the roof.

Not sure about string replacement? My HCA carbon four runner (2000) came with a 29"-30" DL. I changed the lower cam to give me a 28"-29" I didn't have to change strings, I just had them set it at 64 lbs DW after cam was installed.
