Default bowtech timing?

I have a question about checking the tune on the Infinity cam. The manual lists the gap between the limb and module screw and says this is how to check timing. Is it from the bottom of the hole, the center of the hole, or the top of the hole? I tried to check mine and it might be good, might not be good? I used an old carbon arrow as a guage, works pretty good actually. My micrometer says it's .296 and the gap is supposed to be .298. That's close enough for me. Any way the arrow shaft covers almost all of the screw hole. If it is supposed to be measured from the center of the of the hole, then it's good. If it's the bottom of the hole, it's little off.

And if it's off, which cable do I turn to adjust it? The really long one, or the short one?

The reason I'm even checking on a new bow is because the actual draw length does not match what the manual says it should be with this module and stop setting. I usually have around a 25 or 26 inch draw. I knew it was a little long, because I discovered with the shorter axle to axle and string angle, and the No Peep I can cheat a little on my draw by moving my anchor back some. With the module that is in it (N6) it should be at 25 inches draw with the stop on the 11.3 mark. Mine is way past that, almost 3/4 of the way to the short side. I measured my draw length and it's like 27 inches!? That just doesn't seem right does it?

Or am I reading the hash marks wrong. Does each line represent one mark, or do the long lines equal one, and the short ones are a half a step? If that is the case then I sort of understand. 'Cause I think it would be on the #8 mark in that case. That would mean I have a longer draw than what is stated. I like the draw where it is. I am just wondering if I am understanding it wrong, or if something is off on the bow.

Any help from someone that actually understands what I am saying would be appreciated. Because if my draw is actually 27 inches I need to go back and have them install a #4 module, not a #6. I don't know why they didn't catch that when I bought it. They never even checked to see what the actual draw length was before I left. I just told them I normally shoot around 25 or so inches and that is the module they put in it. Then we started adjusting from there until I got it where I wanted it. I changed it a little when I got home as well, but not no freakin' two inches of draw length.

Again thanks,
Paul
