Bowtech Tribute cam timing
A buddy of mine just picked up one of these. I don't know much about how to get optimal performance out of them. I understand that the cams synchronize automatically, but is there an optimal rotation that they need to be in?
TIA

RE: Bowtech Tribute cam timing
My bow was sent to me at the 6th to 6.5dot past limb. Tech services told me it needs to be at the 5th dot past limb. When I did this I picked up a consistant 4 fps. Call BowTech Tech Services and ask what dot you should have past limb. From what the other post said on this topic...sounds like you should be spliting the second dot with edge of limb. Call and ask is the best way because its different for a 60# limb or a 70# limb.

RE: Bowtech Tribute cam timing
When you guys talk about these performance dots, do you mean how many are showing above the limb? I bought a new Tribute last night and man do i love this bow just from the few shots I've taken. When i look at my cams, i see there are only 2 (almost 3) dots showing on both cams. Does this sound right?
Thanks

Buckhunter12,
You are correct...dots showing past limb. If you want to pick up 2 or morefps adjust so that your limb edge is splitting the second dot. I picked up 4 fps going from 6.5 to 5 dots showing past limb. Otherwise enjoy the speed you have, I'm sure it's plenty. Enjoy the new bowwith the binary cam system.

Mildotmaster,
I probably won't, but how do you get the dots to be adjusted like that. Do you have to twist the cables a certain way? Im shooting around 68# with a 28.5 draw so im sure i have plenty of speed. Seems fast anyway!
Thanks
