RE: Bowtech's Timing Marks
N2D, it's really not difficult at all to get the bow setup and synched properly. Just make absolutely certain that once your new strings and cables are broke in, you are getting the correct draw length and your bow is able to reach max weight before timing it. Mine didn't after string break in and, long story short, I ended up just pulling the string and cables off and twisting them to length under tension. This got it very close and gave me a good place to start tuning.

That is beautiful thing about them Jeff. I like to get my rigs down to a hair, but the average Bowhunter is still inpretty good shape when things are a little out

What I'm finding is with these binary systems is they are far less sensitive in out of synch conditions compared to a hybrid slave/CPS type system. Binaries lose some performance for sure, but they don't get all weird and sensitive to creep/tension in/at the wall/valley like a slave/CPS.

RE: Bowtech's Timing Marks
Can someone explain how twisting or untwisting the cable will affect the top or bottom cam.
For example, twisting the ____ cable will result in the top cam being rotated a little more in ____ direction.
A good explanation would be much better than trial & error.

So does this mean that it is possible to have the correct Brace and AtoA but not be able to reach max poundage or have the proper DL?

Once I twisted my cables to length under 100lbs of tension and put them on the bow, my ATA and BH were within 1/8" and I got 70.4lbs on my scale. Draw length was about 1/8" long by my measurements, but felt almost perfect. I left it at that and tuned it from there.

Okay thanks MM. Looks like I have lots to learn but I will get er done. I've been printing off all this info for reference.

Don't sweat it. It's not as hard as it sounds

RE: Bowtech's Timing Marks
Guys, setting these bows up really is easy once you understand them. Just take your time and study the cams, how the cables are routed and how the string is routed. Then imagine what would happen if one of the cables was twisted up some, shortening it. You'll start to visualize what that change will do to the cam rotation.
Don't make it harder than it really is!
