Its not the mods and you're exaggerating that you can feelanything after the shot.

It's your cam/axel spacers.
Somebody in the build room left out a cam spacer and the 2 little ones are buzzing against each other on the shelf side of the cam. You can probably drop a finger in there and spin them by hand.
Look closely at the gap between the limb cap and the cam surface, if you can see axel or move the spacer/s by handthen the spacer is wrong.
Throw it in a press,bring the axel out 1/3 of the way to drop the spacers on that side and swap out with a .112" solid single spacer. Thats what I did for mine because when I would flick the cam with my finger to check the mod screws I was getting a buzz on mine.
If you don't have on hand have the shop guy call Bowtech for spacers.

Trust me someone at Bowtech got a punch in the temple for that one but I think a couple got out the door like that. Its a $.05 / 5 minute fix but annoying nontheless.



I can almost guarantee you that's the problem and it's aquickie fix.
You are absolutely right, my General has the same problem. Those spacers were very loose and every time I knocked on the limbs with my knuckles they would buzz. The bow is at the shop right now, although the dealer didn't know what was wrong and was waiting on an answer from Bowtech. Guess I'll go tell him tomorrow.

The other problem I had on mine was a twisted limb, but thats another story.
I really want to try a Bowtech as I have been a Mathews man forever; but stories like this make me wonder.
