old glory & letoff
Ive got an old glory and at full draw it does not seem to letoff much , of have much valley , especialy compared to the aliegence Ive shot , it alittle louder on the shot allso .
The draw stop is all the way on the long setting
Bow is a 28" 60 lb'er I believe it has e9 cams .
For thouse who know , would putting a twist in each cabel help this , and if so would it lessen the lbs .
I know about the limb tag , and warning about locking the bow , but it seems as if this thing has no valley and that cant be correct .

RE: old glory & letoff
Try putting a single twist in the top cable only.Ifyou put the same in both cables,you will have the same letoff as you started.I would start with a single twist in the top,then if that doesn't help,try maybeanother half twst.Do not go more then 3 twist,if you still have problems,take the bow back to your dealerand they should be able to help.I put one single twist in my top cable on my05' Allegianceand it made abig difference in vally,and letoff.

It does not take any big movements on the draw stop peg to make big changes in the let off.

If you are not getting your valley you need to shorten the top cable and lengthen the bottom cable.
I would put one twist in the top cable, and one twist out of the bottom one, until you get your letoff back.
On my constitution I had to do this 8 times, it simply depends on how much the cables have stretched.

The other "top" cable. The one that is towards the front of the bow. If you are happy with the poundage of the bow, then I would put one twist into the top, and one out of the bottom. However, if your poundage is down, then I would twist the top one until you get the letoff back.

RE: old glory & letoff
Thanks ewolf , I was adjusting the wrong cabel . Definatly changed the draw character of the last 1/2 inch of the draw cycle , Now I have a slight valey and letoff/wall . Changed my tune though , had to lower my rest slightly , Thanks again , this is how its suposed to feel , must of had slightly mismatched cabels .
