Default tune charts

I have a couple basic questions about hoyt's tune charts. I have a Hoyt Vortec that I bought new in Jan 2001, and don't know which tune chart to use. The sticker on the bow shows a string length of 92.5" and a cable length of 39", and draw length range of 26.5 to 29.5. The limbs are XT 2000 (hunting). None of thecharts have that string/cable combination, and the versa cam charts don't have a cable length. Which chart should I use? Also,does the cable length include the yoke? Thanks dave

dave, hard to know about the cable. looking at the lengths they don't raise any red flags, except that cable seems way too long for a 92" string. if you can't find those lengths on the charts the best bet is to call hoyt.

Thanks for the info, gibblet.the ATA is 35 7/8", so I'm thinking the cable length includes the yoke.

37.5" sounds like a more reasonable total cable length.
does it wrap around that cam a good bit at rest?

It wraps around the cam 4" - 5". Last night I made a 38.5" cable - haven't been over to the club yet to install it on the bow(i don't have a bow press yet). How much length will i take out by twisting it?

maybe 3/8" you may want to start at 39 3/16", or 39 1/4" andget the cable to a finsihed twisted length of 38 7/8". hoyt measures weird.
