Default String /cable twisting ???

New to a bow press !! [8D]

Where to start ......
Getting bow back to spec.'s .....generally what do you do if your

ATA is off ?
Brace height is off .....too short.....too long ?
cam is under/over rotated ?
poundage is too low ?
Peep is twisted....a little......a lot ?

Any pointers will be appreciated !!

I pay attention to only one manufacturer bow spec, and that is string and cable length. Brace height and ATA are just estimates and can vary with different draw weights and cam configurations. Once the string and cable are to factory specs, the only other thing you have to pay attention to, are timing marks. I've found with some bow companies, if the strings are correct, the timing marks are always right on. Other companies must have sloppier manufacturing, because even with correct string lengths, timing marks can be way off.

Once you've got your bow set up with the correct length strings and all timing marks are on, then record your exact brace height, ata and tiller, so you can use these measurements for comparison when checking for string creep.
