Bowtech Limb Twist
#11
radman, I understand your concern. I'm the same way. If you can find the thread that Matt/PA referenced Len's post from I think you'll find answers to any questions you may have. After reading that thread I checked my other bows and found limb twist on them as well. On my twin cam I can play with the yoke settings to get rid of it but then find it harder to tune. I have found that limb twist is a small price to pay to get a well tuned and great grouping bow. I now have an Allegiance and I'm glad that nobody else has been around while I've been shooting it because I've been grinning like a giddy school girl.

Radman:
Of all the binary bows we have sold and are in stock, we really haven't 'noticed' the aggressive cam lean that some have indicated. Of the ones we've sold, none exhibited any problems in tuning; quite the contrary.
While I can't take the time to do the study concerning cam lean vs. ATA that I mentioned in another post, I feel compelled to do a study of the existing stock that we have as it pertains to static and dynamic limb twist. I'll even check the bows that my employees have been shooting for a while. This will give me some possible 'wear' data.

,,, can lean,,, limb twist,,, next up is "cable guard rod torque"[&:] All of which is present in just about any bow,, but it's especially scrutinized on BowTech bows
It's probably because of all the speed, accuracy and quite power of the Equalizer cam system

This holds true for ANY short ATA bow; and, the longer the draw length, the worse it will get with any cable guard system. Again, this holds true with all designs using standard cable guards, flexible cable guards, or roller guards.[&o]

All bows with a cable gaurd type of rig have limb twist

Just like Len stated
