Like everyone else said........it' s normal . Just take it to the shop and have them twist your cables. Get them to spend some time with you explaining what they' re doing and how it affects your bow' s timing. Take something and mark or scratch your cam above and below your limb(once it' s timed right) and then from now on you can look and see if it has changed any. Your string/cables will have minimal stretch from here on out and should last for a couple of years or about 20,000 + shots.Don' t worry about a new string for a while . But when it' s time to replace, the new Zebra' s are better , Winner' s Choice are very good, many others , and by the time you need one there will probably be even better ones out !! Also be aware of your cable bushings on your top limb, where your cable Y' s and connects to your limb. Those bushings will wear with time and cause you to lose some poundage, they are an easy fix though and cost less than $10 . Good Luck !!

OK, I just thought of something. We know that a bow performs its best (more efficient) when maxed out, right? So, considering the fact that my string has stretched, and my bow is maxed out - producing 64 lbs instead of 70, is this bow performing at a higher level than the same 70 bow set at 64 lbs, or is the performance the same due to the 70 lb limbs? Like I said - I' m new at this - but it' s very addicting.

If the string creeped, your draw weight would increase not decrease

However...if your cable stretched you would lose weight, because the cam has a shorter distance to roll and build up stress(weight).

[&:]she should have got you a hoyt[&:]but go to the pro shop they' ll fix it for you!

Assuming your cam is timed correctly you will get better performance on the 70 # cranked down to 64 #, versus an incorrect cam timing and only peaking at 64 # .

Yes........it' s very addictive !

Yeah, Hoyts always stay in time don' t they !! [:-]

I agree that the cam needs to be timed to be most efficient.

You really need to have the bow checked because the problem could actually be a week limb and if that is the case you would be well advised to replace it or both if you could talk Mathews into it but many have tried and few have succeded.



CBM,actually the cam 1/2 of mine hasn' t moved.[:-] Of course I had the factory strings replaced from day 1 with some strings that a friend makes and they were prestretched before I got it back.

Second What TFOX said. Have the Limbs checked. The Fx is a awsome bow But mine in the beginning plagued me with limb cracks...two sets to be exact.

Good Luck

This will be my third season with my FX and so far the only problem I' m having is that the Camo is wearing off at corners so I have to come up with a solution. I havve the HS spray camo set but just want to touch up the worn spots and not ruin the rest . . . [&:]

If a limb is cracked, would I still be able to shoot it? I continue to shoot the bow - no problems, no excessive noise, everything is right on line. If the limb(s) are cracked, is this under warranty? I thought it was only the riser on Mathews that was lifetime warranty. The pro shop that put this together did not include any manuals, warranty info., hat, pin, -nothing. I still have the reciept though. Can I register the bow online?
