    Hi guys!
    My name is Dmitry and I am an owner of Bear Legion 2012 60# RTH from Russia. My draw lenght is 26.5". I have a question about the correct cam position for this bow that I had already asked Bear Archery but I still hadn`t any respond.

    As far as I know, there is legend about a control hole in the cam that should be in one line with the nearest cable. When both the little hole in the cam (marked red) and the nearest cable (marked red) lay in one line, the bow shows maximum efficiency allegedly. Is it true for Bear Legion 2012? For other Bears it is true.

    The all Bear Legion 2012 bows that I have ever seen have always about 1" space between the little hole in the cam (marked red) and the nearest cable (marked red). So mine has this space too. The other models of Bear usually have such hole above the cable (marked green) e.g. 2013 E3 single cam.

    Please look at the attaches showing my cam`s timing and tell me - is it O.K.? Does my bow tuned properly? I wonder about reaching maximum efficiency with my bow.

    Thank You very much for your attention.

    There is no answer to my question (not a problem? just question) in Product Manuals of Bear Archery.
    There is no answer to my question from Bear Archery via e-mail too.

    I don't know that I've ever seen cam timing information from Bear - probably because many of their single cams will actually rotate after you change settings so you would most likely need multiple points of reference depending on your setting. Most guys set their bow to what should be max poundage, make sure all the adjustable settings per their specifications on your cam are correct then check ATA and BH and poundage - make some minor adjustments if needed - shoot it through paper and tune it... After that you should be in good shape...

    Thats right.
    Now with #52 and Draw Length 26.5" I have:
    Axle to Axle 30.33" (should be 30.5")
    Brace Height 6.88" (should be 7")
    After I increase to #60 I will try to adjust settings per their specifications and pass paper test.
