Default cam moves??

I talked toGMATT about this and he said he would have it checked. My bottom cam moves a little bit like 1/8 - 1/4 of an inch. It doesn't seem to bother the shooting from what I can tell, but I don't think it is supposed to do it. It usually does it after it has sat for a while and I feel itwhen Im standing and rest the cam on my leg, I feel itmove. Is there some kind of tension after it sits?? Is it normal? I don't think it is..

Sounds like you have some bushings that need replaced.....

Perhaps one cracked and it is missing for that kind of slop?

Im not sure what is actually moving, I lust went upstairs and checked it, I don't think it's moving a 1/4 in. I think it is just tension from the string, both cams will actually do it, If I pull gently on the cam it moves just a bit, I think it is just me being paranoid, sometimes I get that way when Im bored. After it does what it does the first time it doesn't do anymore, until the next time I go to get the bow out. I only noticed it the first time whenI rested the bottom cam on my leg before I shot, I felt it push up a little, but it maybe nothing...
