Default RE: Chacking Cam Lean?

Red,

I don't know what you're trying to accomplish Maybe just checking for cam lean? Take this into consideration as you are shooting a Hoyt. The cable attaches to the upper limb with what is called a floating yoke.

If you have some cam lean and twist up one side of the yoke, you only have to take a couple shots and the cable will center itelf to the same position as before you adjusted it, so twisting a floating yoke is a waste of time and energy. The only way you can get permanent results is to have a cable with a static yoke.

There are guys that have done this and what many do is serve the floating yoke so that it can't shift after the adjustment. Others get a new cable with static yoke built in like other bows.

If you replace the cable you have to order one the correct length. I'm not sure, but Hoyt may list their cable length without including the length for the yoke. You may have to add the length of the yoke to your measurement.

Hoyt has their own reasons for doing this. I don't know why so I won't say one way or the other which is a better system. I just know that they are the only bow company that has the floating yoke.

Maybe someone that has done this will chime in to help.
