    So, rev base cams are also out of stock. Got any ideas... Lol

    Life should be measured by how many selfless acts of kindness someone does to positively influence somebody else's life.

    I have a set of #7 Rev cams I would sell for $45. Pm me if interested. No limbs however. There are some 220s for sale on AT for $85. They are 215 def but the difference is negligible and they will work. Here is the link:

    If you'd like, I can email you a couple of Word documents that outlines how to tune a GT500. However, the most important tool you could make for yourself would be a draw board. A 100lb (min.) scale would be a necessity. Simpler & inexpensive.

    If you can't find the limbs, you could probably go straight to Barnsdale and have him make you a set.

    I have attempted to email the tuning documents to several of you. Unfortunately, some of your email addresses bounced. If you requested these tuning guides, but haven't received my response yo you, please contact me again with a valid email address and I will try again.
