    I recently bought a used xpedition xception and was sighting it in Sunday and noticed a fairly loud rattle. I checked rest, sight, stabilizer and double checked every screw on the bow and tightened everything on the cam I could and it still rattles when I hit the riser with the Palm of my hand. I have no idea what it could be but am 100% positive it's coming from the cam. Anything I could have missed?

    I'm not familiar with Xpeditions, but did you double check the bolts holding the mod and the draw stop? If you have a micro adjust sight, sometimes the knobs will rattle if they're not snugged up.

    Yea I checked all that. Mods and draw stop. I read it might be the cam bearing? Seems unlikely though but I don't know what else it could be.
