Please, this is not meant to start a bashing thread about Bowtech. It is a simple, but serious (to me) question regarding the limb twist seen with the new binary cam system.

I will start by saying that I own a Defender that is fast, accurate, and pleasant to shoot. The only thing about the bow that bothers me is limb twist of the upper limb. Both cams are dead straight when the bow is at rest. At full draw, the upper limb twists so that a staight line drawn along the cam projects several inches inside the opposite limb tip. The bottom cam / limb remain perfectly straight.

I have dealt with this on other bows by twisting up one of the cable yokes. That is not possible with the new binary cam system. Probably because I am a bit of a pefectionist, I decided to take the bow back to the dealer to see if he thought I should send it back to Bowtech for replacement limbs.

They are more of a Walmart type sporting goods store and not what I would call a true archery shop. They were not aware of the problem, so we decided to look at their Bowtech inventory. We pulled back 2 Old Glorys, 2 Allegiances and 3 other Defenders to look at the cams. In every bow, the top cam pointed several inches inside the bottom cam / limb at full draw. His response was that they were all designed that way, so no need to send it back.

What are you guys seeing on your bows? Are all of them leaning/twisting like this or did my shop just get a bad batch? I will be the first to admit that I have not shot broadheads with my Defender to see how they group, but I do know that I have had problems in the past with other bows when I saw this much twist / lean. I do not want to give up on this bow because everything else about it is great.

Should I send it back for new limbs? Should I live with it?
