Default Tips for Home Tunning

Here is an easy way to make sure your cam and idler wheel are lined up properly. Get yourself an inexpensive laser pointer. The longer bodied ones work the best.(they are about the length of a ballpoint pen) Place the pointer along the idler and click it on. Do this on both sides of the wheel to see how it is leaning.

You can fix lean by twisting one of the ends of you’re cable and placing it back on the post. You will need access to a bow press for this. Only go one turn or so at a time, take pressure off the limbs and check again. It doesn’t take long to get right.

You can also check your center shot with one in a similar fashion. Nock an arrow and place it on you’re rest. Place the pointer along the idler wheel and click it on. With the wheel as a guide you can shine the pointer down the shaft. Don’t attempt this until your cam lean is corrected.

Those are some inexpensive ways to help dial you’re bow in at home. Hope this helps.
