Default twisting cable



If I put 6 twists on my cable to correct my timing what will it do to my draw weight and draw length. If it increases or decreases how much? I am shooting a q2 27 inch draw at around 62 lbs. and have winners choice strings

Adding twists to your cable will increase the weight of the bow and increase the draw length. How much is dependant on each individual bow. When you say your shooting a Q2 at 62 lbs., is that a 60 lb bow cranked up, or a 70 lb turned down?

I have been doing alot of tinkering with my q2, I shortened the draw length by putting on a winners choice string, which I ordered a half inch to short.(on purpose) cranked the limbs all the way down. Cam is not set to optimum timing. Weight feels, good draw length is better, and the bow has never shot better. If it shoots good leave the cam where it is, That is if you like what it is doing.
