Default is a idler wheel supposed to lean

my idler wheel is leaning to the right when i pull it back but when i shoot it shoots like it is supposed to. shoots real good i called the archery shop he said it might be a bad bushing . but on some bows the idler wheel does lean .i read up on it. but if it is shooting good i am not carring it to the bow shop. there might not even be nothing wrong with it. if i bring it to the shop i might not get to go hunting this weekend. just wonting to no if y' all no anything about a idler wheel leaning.

An idler wheel might lean because because of a bad bushing or a bent axle, but an axle will usually squeak if its bent.

Taking it to a shop and letting him put a new bushing in will only take a few minutes with a bow press. Unless he is so busy he won' t or cannot take the time to replace a bad bushing, you should be able to hunt with no time lost.

It may also just be poor craftsmanship.

Take it to the bow shop if you have any doubt. They will be able to figure out the deal in a few minutes.

B.T.W. The bushing should be a real cheap replacement item. I can' t imagine you would have more than 10 or 20 bucks into the whole deal including the dude' s time. Jim
