    I have a mission eliminator by Mathews and see that the two hole or dots on my bottom cam are not parallel with my string. The guy at the pro shop says my timing is off. What can I do to fix this? Do I need new strings or is there something else to be done. I wax my bow after any rain or moisture and after a few times out shooting in the yard. My strings are going into there 4th season, but have very little Frey, and the guy at the pro shop said they would be good for another season. Does leaving the bow in the truck for a few hours in the heat cause this and what other things am I not suppose to do with my bow to maintain it? Thanks for the help.

    Leaving your bow in the high heat of vehicles is extremely bad; on strings and the limbs. You can fix the timing very easily. if you have a access to a press then twist up or un twist the buss cable to get the holes to line back up. A couple of twists or less should do it.

    Waxing your strings is to prevent them from drying out and freying... rain or moisture would not be a reason to wax them....
    Leaving you bow in a car on a hot day would. Like inner said to get your bow timed right, put it in a bow press and give your a string a twist or untwist to get it inline. Usually a new bow looses its timing when the new strings stretch.
