Cam lean on the Binary's seems to be something you have to live with. 3/4" is alot , but I don't know if it's excessive. Was it that bad before??
If your centershot has not changed I'd say it's always been that way.
I believe the lean is why the center shot on the bowtech's is so far out. My 06 Tribute is 15/16". I have alot of lean...more than i would call "right",
but it shoots great.
I checked the axles and limbs for cracks. No problem w/ either.
I would be curious to hear from more Bowtech shooters on this issue.

I believe that is why they improved the cams from the '06 and earlier models. To lump all of the Bowtech's with an issue you are having with yours isn't exactly right.

My '07 Allegiance's center shot is in the center. They'll fix the bow if it has cam lean.

Dave,
I don't consider the cams leaning an issue. I had thought it was a problem, but alot of Bowtechs 2006 and older had center shots at 15/16". And I'm not lumping all Bowtechs together. Binarys' lean by virtue of the design. Just some more than others.
Are you saying that it's the cams that cause the lean? If so, do you think it's possible to get the newer cams for my tribby. If the string and cable lenghts are the same between the '06 and '07 , I would think so.

RE: Binary Cam Lean
According to what I've read it was the cam design of the Bowtech's that caused the lean and they've redesigned to eliminate the cam lean. When I bought my bow the guy checked it for cam lean.
There was a batch for '07 that did have cam lean and Bowtech will replace the cams if you call about the issue.
You could talk to Bowtech. I thought though that they would even fix your '06 if it has cam lean issues.

RE: Binary Cam Lean
I was in contact w/ a Bowtech teck. He never mentioned that they would do anything for me. I don't think he saw it as a problem from the way he talked.
I even had a Bowtechshop owner tell me that the lean was because the limbs were worn from shooting. I knew he was full of it.
I don't have any cam/limb contact so I'm assuming the lean that is there isn't anything to worry about.

RE: Binary Cam Lean
I have an 06 Tribute and the cams lean quite a bit on mine too. I contacted Bowtech about the possibility of putting the new cams on my Tribute but they said the new cams can not be retro fitted to the 06 bows. My Tribute shoots great so it really wasn't a big deal, and I have a Guardian that I shoot most of the time now anyway.

RE: Binary Cam Lean
you've got to check them at full draw also, and see where they are pointed then. that's what's going to tell you how much the tilt is changing from rest to full draw. as the bow is shot the cams will tilt back to where they were. this will cause your string to have some horizontal movement in it - or horizontal nock travel. anyway, its a lot easier to clean up right and left misses if your string is not moving horizontally.
