    Add a couple twist to the cables will lower the holding weight a touch. But will lengthen you just a hair with a little more peak weight also.
    No ifs and or buts Just maybee.

    Default More Valley

    Thank's Maybee, could some of the problem be my draw length is a little short. I will try twisting the cables, would you put 2 twist's per cable. Thank's for the help Scott

    The draw length does not matter if you are back into the stops. The stops should be all the way to the outermost side of the cam (away from the nock point) this will give you the most valley. As you move the stops towards the nock point this will increase your holding weight and shorten your valley. Hope this helps.

    Yes I would add about 2 or 3 to the cables this will get you back closer to the draw length and help with the letoff. which will feel like more valley. this is if the stops are all the way out like Kurt said.

    Actually I would disagree with you slightly.

    Assuming of course that your cams are in time and what not.....if your draw length is not correct it is very possible for you to not be able to maintain enough back tension to stop from creeping. Also if you shoot a weak shot your going to creep also just because your loosing tension or not maintaining your shot. Neither of these things has anything to do with needing more valley or having too much.

    Having too much letoff though can actually cause those that don't normally creep to do so or loose their back tension load. That is a reason that a lot of target shooters won't shoot a letoff more then 65% or so.

    The other day we were discussing this very thing when it comes to dl/valley/creeping on another forum....most of the guys that had this issue went longer as going shorter made it worse. But some of these people were/are good target shooters. The other day when I was shooting my indoor setup for the 1st time since changing strings I was slightly creeping also....for me though it was because I was a little stretched out and couldn't pull anymore lol 1.5 twist in the string and Im golden now.

    Brown Hornet, I agree but that does not have to do with the bow. It has to do with specific shooters. The valley of the bow is set before you draw.

    I understand that....what I am saying is a lot of times people think its the valley or that they have an issue with the valley. Most times it's draw length and shooting form. 95% of shooters do nothing to fine tune their draw lengths....at least not on purpose.
