If you want to shorten your DL by up to 1/4" by manipulating the string/cable on a SC bow, you ______ to shorten the ________ until you reach the desired length then you _______ the ________ to re-time the cam.

Choices are string, cable, twist and un-twist.

Right?

RE: Refresh my memory, fill in the blank fun
 

how about multiple choice?

1) BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...incorrect answer


Problem with that method is that when you adjust one thing (i.e. string or cable), manipulating the other the opposite way brings the cam back to the same place..not always exactly but you end up losing the amount of adjustment you wanted in the first place.

RE: Refresh my memory, fill in the blank fun
 

So, _____ the _____ and let cam orientation be dammed?

Again, choices are twist, untwist, string and cable :)

RE: Refresh my memory, fill in the blank fun
 

Yes :)

Or..you can get a BowTech cam or some other design that has half inch adjustment increments and a precisely adjustable draw stop and not have to worry about it :D

So, why does untwisting the cable shorten the draw length, oh ye master of all things trivial?

:)

RE: Refresh my memory, fill in the blank fun
 

Because it BLANK the amount of string BLANK on the cam...BLANK it changes the orientation of the cam so it does not let out as much BLANK conversely the opposite is BLANK

So, does untwisting the cable by X directly correlate with a decrease in draw length of X, or is it Y?

:)

If my freaking 28" module was actually 28", I'd be a much happier camper... :)

Wierd. It's 28.25" and feels just a tad long. However, the Outback I shot a Whileback was supposedly 28", and it felt dead on. Perhaps Mathews addressed their too long DL reputation?

RE: Refresh my memory, fill in the blank fun
 

Yes.


Not in my experience. The problem is that Mathews doesn't use an AMO/ATA measurement except for speed tests, they measure to the front of the riser, which usually leaves them about 1/2 to 5/8" long at AMO/ATA standards.

OK seriously about the cable..no...if you untwist the cable 1/4" short/long it will affect the string take-up/feed-out considerably more so than 1/4".

RE: Refresh my memory, fill in the blank fun
 

Wierd on Mathews. Fit me to a T...

Ahhh... so not much untwisting of the cable will be necessary. That's nice.

How will this affect brace, ATA and draw weight?

I'm like a kid with "why is the sky blue"... :)

RE: Refresh my memory, fill in the blank fun
 

shorten cable you compress the limbs increasing poundage and brace height and decreasing the a to a - just the opposite when you lengthen the cable.

RE: Refresh my memory, fill in the blank fun
 

Jeff - Nice Sig.............LOL:D

Your crazy man:)

RE: Refresh my memory, fill in the blank fun
 

You untwist both the string and the cable while maintaining the proper cam position. This will shorten your draw slightly, decrease brace height slightly, while decreasing the peak draw weight.

Grasp the ____ long shaft. Insert the ___ with a screwing motion. Pull the ____ back. Then when you're finally____ you release. Ahhh... the sweet _____ is soo enjoyable...

Kevin, Thanks. I just tried that. Works pretty well. Be even better and easier if I had a partner to help me...

Did you see THIS thread?

Poor Ken...:(:D

Hey Rangeball,I thought it was Bowtech that had the "problem"with their draw lenght measurements?The 03 S-C Patriot that I had was a mess...Bob

RE: Refresh my memory, fill in the blank fun
 

I have now. Damn, I wonder what Freud would say about this... Now I'm worried.
