BT General Cams...
 

can one of you guys look at your cams on your general, and tell me if at rest - do they have a VERY slight lean? might me and optical illusion on mine, or maybe because the limbs are different between the right and left limbs.

thanks,

J

you really need a tool like the Spot Hogg laser to check something like that. Eyeballing can be tricky.

RE: BT General Cams...
 

it is so slight, if measured it looks like a 1/128th or 1/64 inch.

RE: BT General Cams...
 

That's the point, with the tool you are not guessing, you know for sure. If you are eyeballing it the best you can hope for is a guess.

RE: BT General Cams...
 

ok, I will check, but is anyone elses General, experiancing the same lean at rest?

RE: BT General Cams...
 

Nope, my commander and guardians do not have any lean at rest or full draw. I have the spott hog laser and its awesome for these things.

RE: BT General Cams...
 

If there is cam lean, how do i undo it?

RE: BT General Cams...
 

Have you tried to drop poundage? Do you have aftermarket cableslide?

The only way I know to correct is new limbs.

RE: BT General Cams...
 

it is the General, and uses a cable roller/guide.

talked to Pat at bowtech, said it was due to the cable guide stress on the cables.

RE: BT General Cams...
 

Oops, I am sorry, I have the guardian on my mind. If its the cable guide stress, they should fix it, I would imagine.

RE: BT General Cams...
 

J, who put your cams on your general? Because when i got my new limbs put on i was told that if your cam is leaning the limbs are put on backwards. so you need to swip swap....

I watched him put them on, and read the instructs right along with him, checked it with the spott hogg laser today, all is good, just being paranoid,

thanks for all the help.

Hey fellow okie. I have a General and I have cam lean on my lower cam. I was told that they all had slight cam lean....im sure that was to just shut me up and get me out the door. I will go back and ask the question again. I may bring up the limb question about them being installed backwards

RE: BT General Cams...
 

cool, i have also been told by bowtech, that a touch of lean is inherent to the design of the bow and the cable roller/guide

RE: BT General Cams...
 

You may be right j but it shouldnt be that noticable cause when my proshop was switching them out i was there watching him and he was on the phone with BOWTECH and they said there wsnt supposed to be any lean wat so ever they said that you have a greater chance of Failur with tension and then thats when we had to take the bow all back apart and switch the limbs...which was a pain..you would think they would put a L and R for left and right..IMO

the lean is like 1/128 inches or less lean, and if I relax the bow, take the cables off the guide, it is not there. I have put it up against the general at the shop, and it looks just like it.
