Default RE: Bow string twist ?

ORIGINAL: gibblet

i'd say 6-12 twists per foot is good, w/ a twist every 1.3" ideal. the single cam comes w/ a point its supposedly more efficeint. i don't know if timing is the right word, but it may be. usually, unless you're just fall perfect in drawlength, you have to move it out of its proper position a bit to get the bow to fit a person perfectly, if the person understands how important that is. a lot of folks think cam position supercedes a bow fitting you, but that's incorrect - as a matter of fact its one of the most incorrect archery myths out there.
Thank you very much GIBBLET. I'm so glad to see someone finally say that draw length fit is more perfect than cam orientation. Everybody thinks that lining up two holes with the string is ideal. I say getting the draw length right is more important and where cam orientation falls, so be it.

I'll give up a few FPS any day to make the bow fit right.
