Default too narrow of a valley

How do you adjust the draw stop to get a little more valley at the end of the draw cycle? My blackhawk has a virtually nonexistant valley so if I relax my arm the slightest bit, it lets down. It is impossible to be consistent with my accuracy if I can't relax into shooting position. I am having to shoot while actively pushing with my bow hand.

Hornbow.....what module # is on your cam? It sounds like your draw stop post is set in the wrong place for your draw length(too far to the "S" end).......You can adjust it a little bit at a time to the "L" side (about a line at a time to find a valley and let-off that feels good) or just wait until we figure out where it should really be set so that you don't overshoot the setting and over-rotate your cam.

Thanks. I will look at the cam tonight when I get home from work and get the numbers off it.

Ditto on what matt said and you may have too long of a modual , might try the next size smaller , and move the draw stop to the long position , That will make a huge diferance . I know with my patriot that with the draw stop in the short position , it had no valley like you say .

OK, the number on the module is 12. My draw length is 28". Where do I set the draw stop for this module? Would it be better to get the next size smaller module and set the drawstop out further to compensate?

12? What year is it? I think the number on your module should be somewhere between 1 and 6, inclusive. If you have a 28" draw length I think you have module 3.

If you do in fact have module 3, then your post setting should be 6.5 for 80% let-off, and 6.1 for 65% let-off.

Any of you Bowtech guys confirm this? I'm just going off the 2004 manual and what I know about the Infinity cam.

BTW: Count the first line next to the "L" as the #1 mark. In this photo I have my post set at 7.0.

Well, it certainly has a number 12 imprinted on it. It is a 2004 model. Can you post a picture of your cam with the module number visible? Maybe I am not looking in the right place.

I've outlined the module on this photo. In the upper left corner is the approximate shape of what the entire module looks like (you can't see the entire module in this photo and I'm not at home to take another picture) The number will be on this facing out so you can read it.

I called the Archery shop that set it up for me and apparently, the module is an I-2. I mistook the "I" for a one. He informed me that that is the wrong module for my draw length and I should indeed have an I-3. Thanks for your help. I guess I will have to take it in to get that module switched out. We'll see if that solves my problem.

You're welcome! Be sure he sets the post properly too. I assume you want 80% let-off so it'll be at 6.5, or one little mark below draw post shown in the picture.
