    Does anyone know of any videos that shows the proper way to adjust axle to axle the correct way? I have a collection of different videos from Youtube that show many different ways to set up and tune bows but have been unable to find one for axle to axle adjustment. I do it by twisting cables, but not real sure if this is he best way. Any help will certainly be appreciated.

    Max the poundage of the bow (specs are measured at full weight). Then Measure the A2A - as you mention, generally, you add/remove twists from the cable to adjust as needed to adjust that (add to shorten, remove to lengthen).

    Depends on the cam system and what not but I believe I normally set idler lean, then A2A, then cam timing.... If you are checking specs, may as well make sure the whole bow is back where it needs to be.
