Davec If putting a thin nylon washer on on side of the cam fixes the problem whats the big deal.If bowtech put it there in the first place we probable wouldn't be having this discussion right now.I personally don't think new limbs is the answer unless bowtech is going to design a new limb with a bigger gap which I doubt there going to do.The problem ls with the cams when the lean.So like I said if adding that washer gives that cam enough spaceto lean which is going to lean alittle then just add the washer and be done with it.
Because without the shims there is NO friction between the limb and cam, with shims there is now some sort of rubbing friction.
From the factory there was a gap between all 4 possible rub points. Now there is not on any rub point (cam & limb cap). The only way I see this happening is if the limb cam lean is severe on both ends of my bow.
I'm not sure how much friction there will be with the spacers, butyou are wedging a washer where there was once nothing, one on each side and now you've got some serious removal of free space. The limb clearance was designed with a perfect gap in place, now the gap is reduced on both sides?
If thefriction energy loss is enough to see a noticable difference on the chrony it kind of defeats the purpose of buying a bow touted as the "faster" line-up of bows. If I wanted a slower bow I'd of bought an XT.
Maybe a shim on one side of each cam would remove all 4 rub points? if so- that may be liveable.
I doubt you could wedge 4 total shims in there though (one on each side).
BTW, I'll be going by the bowshop today with my bow (change of plans) . So I may update later.
