    The main thing to check is draw length and poundage if those to are correct then i would not worry about A2A if the draw length long start by adding twist to your string till it is correct then check poundage if it is high take twist out of cables and recheck draw lenght.If it is low add twist to cables and recheck drawlength just make sure anytime you add twist to cables do the same # to each.Also when your are done you will have to check cam sync and reset draw stop.

    A-A is one of the least important measurements on these bows.

    That is why there is a +/- 3/16" tolerance, if the draw weight, draw length are right and the wheels are in sync don't touch it.

    Default upping poundage

    Can I put twists into the cables to put my 71 lb (birth cert) envy up to 73 lbs without damaging anything or losing efficiency? My hunting arrows are a little on the stiff side.stiff

    By doing this you will be adding preload retarding cams and lengthening drawlength also changing A2A and brace so i would say i would just use a heavier point or take weight off the nock end of the arrow.You are really messing with allot of things when doing this
