What I' ve gone through:

Well, all good things muct come to an end....my bow holding a tune has gone out the window! The past 2 weeks I' ve tuned and retuned and retuned and every time I shoot again it' s junk. I' d like to blame the new rest I put on, but I' m not so quick to judge as nothing is moving there at all. The sights aren' t moving, my form isn' t that of an olympic archer, but it' s not bad and it is very consistant. I' ve noticed that my cam is leaning at the top...to the left of the bow at the top and right on the bottom. My string & cable could probably be replaced, but I don' t think that would cause what' s happening.


What' s happening:

Every time I shoot I hit further to the left. It doesn' t get worse as I shoot for the night, but the next day it will be worse. I group tune back to were it shoots nice with bh' s and ft' s and re-sight in. Everything goes good for the night....then the next day it all starts over again. I' m possitve I' m not torquing, droping the bow, punching the release or peeking.


What I' m doing:

I called a local pro shop and am taking my bow up there tonight. I have a feeling the bushings are shot in the cam.....anyone have a problem like this ever? What happens when your bushings are shot? I haven' t put a new string or cable on, originals -- 3 years old. I haven' t had the bushings or cam or wheel looked at ever.

This is what the string looks like coming off the cam
