First, the thread, info was already here. We (HNI) don't need a redundant thread on a NON issue.
Don, please. Did you even read the entire thread? Straight from an BowTech.
There is not a problem with cams or the limbs or a function of both and the mark you see is not caused by any defect, lean, or anything relating to the shooting or performance of the bow.
The mark in question is one that can be made when the cam is rotated during assembly or changing the draw length
The upper rounded lobe of the cam is slightly larger than the "Pointed" end that rotates through the fork and if the dealer,builder, or customer gets a touch heavy handed in either assembly or changing draw length and tries to rotate the cam too far while doing so they can cause that exact swipe mark in the In Velvet clear coat.
It can give the appearance that the cam is hitting or rubbing the fork in that area when drawing or shooting.......it is not.
If you have one in a press and remove the string and cables from their tracks and try to rotate the cam 360 degrees you will see exactly what I'm talking about.....the rounded lobe will contact in that exact spot and can leave that mark.
Even though the tolerances ARE very tight in this area, the way the cams are keyed to the axle the relationship of the cam to the limb fork cannot change and you will not see any degredation over time or any lean imparted. Basically if the cam isn't rubbing at full draw (which it is not or you would feel it immediately) it cannot "degrade" over time and somehow work its way into a position where it would/could contact the limb down the road while shooting......the way the cam and axle fit together will not allow this to happen.
