i just got this bow today from a old friend. i was wondering, could i change the cam mods without a bow press and taking the bow appart?? and how do u turn the poundage up? do u just turn it up or do u hav to loosen somthin up and tighten another? dumb questions, i know, but im learnin lol ima youngin.
Yes, you can change your draw mods without a press. To turn the poundage up simply turn your limb bolts. Righty tightly lefty loosey IIRC the General is about 1# Per Turn
seems how i got some smart ass comments, i just went and did it. and i found out i dnt need a press.. thanks 4 ur help.
Honestly, I am not being smart. But if you need to ask a quesiton like that, I can see why the poster pointed you to a dealer. Did you lock tite them on?
no thats fine.. u awnsered my question just fine. and i thank you.. yes i did. i dnt think they ar gona vib loose either lol
You are shooting an expensive bow and have limited knowledge on tuning it. I said what I did because I would hate to see something happen. I have been into bowhunting for ten years and take my rigs to the archery shop because I want my stuff tuned properly. You would be much better off getting a job at a shop and learning than posting questions on a forum and trying it yourself Good luck!
well im sorry for my replyed remark. to me it seemed as a smart comment.. thank you for straiting my view out. to a point i know how to replace them, i just didnt totaly know if that was the right way. anything else im taking my bow to a shop. once again thank you and sorry. by the way walmart is hell lol
Raceway, I would only agree to a point. At some point there is a satisfaction to doing it yourself. I too have been shooting a little over ten years and I now do all of my own work. Of course I started small and worked my way into it.
I liken it to my friends who drag race. One is a well known tuner in these parts who works for at@t and has an 88 Mustang GT that runs into the 7's with a 352ci motor. He learned the basics from some of the best in the game and even won an NMRA Renegade Championship. He got where he is by learning from the right people and progressing slowly by learning from the best in the business. The other is a Dodge mechanic that is too stubborn to listen. His 89 Mustang GT runs into the low 11's with a 347 stroker motor. I have offered numerous times to have the other guy and his crew chief who is my good friend over to help with his car. He declined and instead looked to the internet for support. He still has a vacuum leak he can't fix and a car that is inconsistent and quite slow considering he runs a C4 and a 25-2. Nothing is better than a properly tuned bow that is timed correctly and shoots consistent. I would love to be able to tune my own bow, but in the long term it is cheaper to pay a guy versus buying the RIGHT bow press, the tools, etc. Getting a job in a shop would enable this guy the opportunity to learn from someone with extensive experience who can monitor and validate his progress as he becomes an expert and he would have all the tools of the trade at his disposal
Very well put. Why shoot a bow, or drive a car, that is not performing to 100% of it's potential. There is absolutely nothing wrong with becoming self sufficent, but you can't learn it all in one day.
