B-Cam lean revisited

[WA Shooter]

Just received my new Defender. WOW, I can't believe the complete absense of hand shock.

OK, I've read the posts on the cam lean associated with the new B-Cams, and want to know what I should be looking at. It appears that the top cam does have some lean in it, but I did not notice it in the bottom cam.

I will be checking the cable routing tonight after reading WWAG's post. Also, I'll measure ATA on both sides of the limbs. Is there anything that can be done if it is only the top cam leaning, without replacing the limbs or changing the cams? Has this been noticed on any of the other B-Cams bows? It seems from the other posts that it is usually in both cams if the bow has this problem.

Thanks

If your Defender has the red oval in the BowTech logo, I'd bet it has the new reversed slide and cable changes. This is where I first spotted the difference when I brought home the wife's new Defender. When the Equalizer camed bows are cabled the "new way" they seem to show less cable rod torque. I looked at an early Defender in 60/28 inch draw and it did have some lean. My wife's Defender has VERY little and if you weren't looking FOR it hard,, you'd never see it!

Thanks WWAG,

I checked the cables and they were opposite from the pictures you had posted. I changed them around and it seems to have corrected the lean, there might be a little left but I'm OK with it. I'll decide what I want to do about it the same time I decide if I need to drop down to 28.5" cams.

The previous owner had put on a sims cable slide, and it looks like he did it without pressing the bow. There is a broken strand in the bus cable. I'll swap it out shortly, it shouldn't effect anything for now.

It's shooting bullet holes through paper, and I can stack them in nice groups, but that is only across the garage. I hope to be able to shoot it at distance later in the week.
