Setting Timing
Just visually looking at the cam on my q2xl, it seems that the top timing hole on the cam is pointing toward the riser. What do I have to do to get it where it needs to be? If I have the cables twisted will it affect my poundage and draw length and what direction should it be done? Do you run a string or something down these holes to see if they are parallel with the string, or what? Or should I not worry about it and just shoot the darn thing? Please help and good luck to all this year.

RE: Setting Timing
Bhunter,
Not surprisingly, some cams perform better in different positions...tuning guide to the contrary. I would worry more about how the bow shoots...in terms of both noise level, accuracy and vibration. If all three of these check out then I would consider the unusual timing of the cam secondary. Should any of these characteristics become unusual then I would attempt to readjust the cam so the lobe points out more from the riser. Twisting the cable should achieve this. I would then recheck your draw length and draw weight to see if they have changed.
