RE: Allegiance Issues...
Can anyone see if your arrows are doing anything discernible such as porpoising or fishtailing? Have you had anyone else shoot your bow to see if it happens to them also? Have you shot the arrows thru a chrono to see if they are all at the same speed? If so what was the speed?

Everyone at work shot the bow to try and tune it, everyone had the same problems.
There is no noticable fishtailing or porposing.
All the arrows are shooting within 1 or 2 fps of each other. [279 fps.]

I'm behind the shooting a few hundred arrows and see what happens.
However, I'd strongly recommend contacting Bowtech about the cam lean. It's not something they will just let go and it's a new bow.

The only reason I'm not contacting Bowtech [yet] is because its the middle of turkey season.
I know exactly what their response will be; "Send it in, we'll see what we can do for you."
Now, thats fantastic. Their customer service is great, however, I would be eating my tag this year. I don't even HAVE a shotgun anymore at this point.

That's affirmative.
I just can't understand how before you saw no lean but now you do.... The only thing that could cause that is a change in the bow string / cables torque at brace.
Just for the sake of it.....
Yourdown cable is in the rear slot of the slide and is crossing on theclosed side of your bowand your up cable is in the front slot crossing on the open side of the bow?

I just wanted to make sure as not crossing the cables correctly when changing them is a common occurance.

RE: Allegiance Issues...
I usually don't get involved with tuning problems on the internet. It's a matter of speculation and assumptions; and, you know what happens when you ASS U ME.
First, you're 'assuming' that the new string and cables are properly manufactured and you may have 'assumed' that the lengths designated on the string/cables packages were correct. I don't. Check them.
IF the string/cables measure the same as the old string/cables, put the old string/cables back on and retune. If it tunes, then you've established that there is something wrong with the new string/cables.
We can only hope that the process for changing the string/cables was done correctly and didn't damage anything pertaining to the bow.[:@]
That's enough to keep you busy for a while. I'm going to bed. Goodnight and good luck.
Ps These BowTech cam lean statements are really getting old. 99% of them are misinterpreted, optical illusions, or made with an 'agenda' in mind. If some of these posters want to see cam lean, I can show them hideous cam lean on other designs/models/manufacturers' products. For a cable guard design bow, the Binary Cam System exhibits cam lean that would be the in the least amount category when compared to just about anything else in production using a cable guard.

I don't know if now I'm maybe just looking for problems, but does this limb look twisted to anyone?
Look at the way it sits at the cam and then look at the way it sits near the pocket... Am I seeing things?
