Fellows, all of you are correct.And a great big hello oscar i think we talked yesterday. IF and thats a big if you have the clearence with the cables crossing on the bottom leave it. And in responce to the gentleman that said " if it is not broke don' t fix it " In a sense that is true but there are only two ways to learn. You learn by your own experence or by other peoples experence. What i am saying is there is nothing wrong with playing with your bow as long as you can set it back up the way it was. After all this is what MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND.Eric
