RE: Lets argue
Aussie, it's my Bear TRX that's giving me fits right now. Single cam, so I find out it can't be creep tuned. I can probably order a 65% let-off module for it from Bear or I can just keep my brain engaged while I'm shooting and remember to hold into the stops while focusing on the target.
I'm thinking cutting the draw length by a half inch might help. I've also played around with it shooting fingers release. The tendency to creep goes away when I don't use a release and I can do pretty well that way. Amazing to me that I can shoot at all with fingers on a 36" bow at 32" draw.
Definitely going to give creep tuning a go on my ol' ProTec w/Accuwheels though.

Try the tapes on the cable/string. Let me know if you need help to clarify this a bit........

RE: Lets argue
I'll give it ago, Rick. But I've got an extremely long draw length on a fairly short bow. Makes for lots of cable travel. Plus there's a high cable guard on that puppy. Plus my well trained tunnel vision while settling in on my target. Quite a catalog of potential problems. Guess I'll find out.

Arthur:
You may want to check out the Vaportrail web site. I have not read the article, but they claim to have done something with single cams to make them much less creep sensitive. I had a Golden Eagle Woodland Extreme with the same PWC cam that is on your TRX. I also had issues with that bow (or me, actually) throwing the occaisional shot 6-7" high at 30 yards. Otherwise, I really liked the bow.
