    Default Why not little holes?

    Explain this to me,,,,,,,,Why is their not little holes in the cam so one can match up the draw stops? Seems to me it would be alot easier to tune the bow if one can count up two holes or three and match up exactly where the draw stops should be and have them the same instead of guessing at it with the long slot.

    Because that would limit the finite adjustment needed to tune the bows.
    There is no guessing, set the stops at full draw after tuning. With the +/- tolerances of limbs, it isn't cookie cutter recipes that apply exact and universal.

    Thanks for the reply but I've seen the holes on other bows and I was wondering why. Doesn't that make it easier for error however?

    As stated above- Some bows do have holes with letters to signify length. But the Elite cams allow fine tuning the desired feel and cam tuning as needed in binary style cams. I have a PSE that has the holes and many times I wish it ahd the slide type to fine tune the valley.

    Because the stops may not hit the limbs at the same time, base on lots of variables, if they are in exactly the same spot on the cams. It's all about the fine tuning.

    On my Z the cables cross the timing dots perfectly throughout the draw cycle. However I know my draw stops are not exact and they hit the limbs at the same time.
