Fred Bear Cam Question

[Ptrbilt]

OK So far I've determined that bow I'm shooting has too long of a draw length. So last night I look at the cams to see if they can be adjusted to shorten the draw length from 29" to 27".

Now - with the bow laying flat on the table the cams have a series of wholes into one of which the string is anchored. Right now the string ends at the outer most whole.

XOOOO ___________________ OOOOX
Left cam ___________________ Right Cam

X marks the whole at which the string is bolted. Am I correct in assuming that if the string anchors are moved closer to the center then the draw length will be increased?

If that is the case where can I order new cam to shorthen the draw length? The bow is a Fred Bear Quest that I got in about 2000

I think I am somewhat following you but am personally unfamiliar with the cam on the Quest bow. I am assuming a dual cam bow since you have two diagrams. In which case, if you hook the string closer to the center of the cam then, normally, you are shortening the draw length. Moving outwards towards the edge of the cam normally lengthens draw length.

Are there any modules on the cam? If so then you should be able to place a new module in there to shorten the draw length. Most of the Fred Bear/Jennings cams have been designed in this manner for several years now.

Hope this helps.

Sorry about that - It is a dual cam bow with no modules in the cams. The cams just have the series of holes.

I which case, moving the loop at the end of string further "into" the center of the cam will shorten draw length. Moving it back out to where it enters the "inside" of the cam the more it will lengthen the draw length.
