i shoot a patriot and am not sure where the tuning gap is measured from and to, and i'd like to know for reference.

i ask because thru making my own string and cable i may have accidently stumbled upon my bow's sweet spot.

while making adjustments to my string and cable i made i'm about 1/64th long in ata and a little less than 16th short in brace height. my cam is slightly under-rotated. i realize i could fix this and i know how to do it, but when i went outside to shoot a dozen arrows to settle in my adjustment (string and cable have both been shot in) i could not believe how quiet the bow performed and how incredibly well the arrows flew. considering the 30 yd shot it seemed very forgiving rt to left. i also set my nocking pt almost 1/8" high before shooting after each adjustment so i don't think that's it.

i've noticed that all patriots don't have the cam marks in exactly the same place and have wondered if the marks are just drawn on after the string is installed. i've seen what i believe to be a 2-3 twist difference in the cable as far as where factory marks were on the cam when looking at brand new bows.

this is why i want to know how to take a tuning gap measurement as shown in the owner's manual, but can't figure out what the picture is pointing to exactly. i'm wondering if i found that true tune by accident.
regardless the slight under-rotation does not seem to be causing any issues, except positive ones, on the string or cable and unless it drives me crazy i'm going to leave it for now. but i sure would like to put the bow in exact spec's with the exact tuning gap and shoot it like that to see. it is the offseason and a good time for me to learn this type of thing. thanks for any help. gibbs
