Im VERY close to buying a DXT and have heard that if you have to change draw lengths, you have to change the cams...which is over $100 or so to do. Ive never heard of something like this, i thought bows are normally adjustable in length/weight?

They are adjustable in ten pound increments, so like 60-70, 50-60, etc. But if you want to change from a 60-70 bow to a bow that is 50-60 then you will need a cam change..

oh sorry...I meant if you change draw LENGTHS...i heard you have to change cams.

Yes- all mathews bows use a draw length specific cam. This keeps nock travel and performance at peak on a single cam design. IF you bought the bow new, dealers will just put in the appropriate cam- if you bought it used, yeah you can figure on $100 bucks or so to have it replaced.

Check the AT classifieds for the cam you're looking for.

Also if you are comfortable with using ebay, you can get some pretty good deals on cams there.

you need diff. limbs if you want to change from a 50-60 to a 60-70 not a cam change...

u are correct that you need a cam change with the changing of a draw length

right mathews.. my post was intended for the draw length change.. i was in a rush to get out the door and ipostedit wrong..

What i should have said was a switch from 60-70 bow to a 50-60 bow will merit a limb change, and a switch from a 28" DL to a 27" DL will require a cam change..

Good pickup on my mistake..

Mathews Bows have always been that way. It is a PIA for a dealer for sure.

Believe it or not productioncosts are cheaper going the cam per draw length route over going the module route.

They say its more efficient that way...why is that??
