Sounds like it could be the bearings or shaft the bearing sits on . I just saw a thread like this on AT just like this . If its the bearings it could be serrious , if its the shaft that the bearing sits on you should be able to get by this season . But dang that sucks that this is happening to ya this close or during hunting season . But from what i hear Bowtech is a little slower getting back to their customers . You need to have your dealer contact them that might be the faster route to take . Does the cam have any play in it from side to side ?
