    Like tfox said, If you were closer to me i'd take a look at it for you. I sure hope you get it fixed though, nothing more aggravating that having your bow outta whack.

    Let them know what you've found with the tiller.

    If your talking about Crazy Horse remember he is closed on Mondays... With him call a day or so ahead of time and make sure he's not out of town or something ... Normally he's always there, but sometimes he has to go out of town... And talk to Shawn and no one else, sometimes his dad answers the phone and he's clueless about bows, and he also has a guy that helps him some and he doesn't have a clue either, both are good guys but NOT bow techs ... Only deal with Shawn on tech issues .

    Sorry you are having so much trouble. I had a similar problem with my MR 7 when I had it. The shop changed the limbs because of cam lean. And as you said you can't fix came lean on those because of the yoke system. Also in regard to timing you don't need to take it to a shop if you have a buddy or someone else watch the cams as you draw back slow. The cams should touch the cables at about the same time. You could have one touching and the other not or one putting way more pressure on the cables than the other.

    Also from the sounds of it like other people are suggesting it seems like the limbs on top and bottom are of different weight. I just checked the limbs on my Creed XS and did not see any markings so I assume they are covered by the limb pockets. Thats something to verify if you take it to another shop. Push comes to shove call Mission again and complain loudly. Of course be respectful but let them know the issues you are having. I all ask a few shops around me if they have had any issues like yours recently. Keep us posted please.

    Don't be loud when calling companies. Be very humble and polite. There may come a time to get forceful but give them a chance first.

    Most of the time, they respond very well to this approach.

    Think about how you would respond to someone complaining.

    mission has been great, i dont have issues with them at all, just the product and as long as they do their part to fix it then im good. they have been very fast with emails, calls, got the limbs in a very timely manner. its probably just the timing that the one shop screwed up when they put everything back on the bow. i mean when i picked the bow up from getting the limbs replaced i got home to realize my peep was backwards which means they didnt pay attention. i take it back up there and they press it, take 2 or 3 twists out of the string to turn my peep around. they dont measure anything or double check anything.

    Hopefully you see this today...Shawn is out of town this weekend and won't be back in the shop until Tuesday "he's closed on Mondays"....He's at some 4-H camp in KY, they are doing some "Shooting Camp" and he's there working it...Shawn is pretty heavily involved in various "Kids in the Outdoors & Shooting Sports" things so he volunteers a ton of his time on weekends and stuff to that kinda thing, which is a good thing...I sent him a message on FaceBook the other night and he said he was out of town until Tuesday morning.

    i just read on another site that if the cams are timed properly and your still getting a low tear then you can add twists to the string to fix bc the cam is over-rotating when shot. can anyone tell me if this information is correct?

    Ive not tried it but it might work but your issue is that something is out of whack with the tiller / timing.


    I had a bow once that had a high tear regardless of what I did. Changed rest, swapped limbs, changed arrows advanced timing, retarded timing, changed cams, changed strings. You name it, I did it. The only thing that worked was tiller tuning and that took tiller way out and lowered the nock point.

    It drove me crazy and felt like crap so I got rid of the bow.

    according to mathews the string should be in the center of the timing holes, mine are not, they are closer to the back of the bow. i asked the last shop about this and they said they was fine bc you could see the string in the hole. maybe it is just timing and that should be easily fixed. i wish i could make it up to the shop tuesday when he is supposed to be back.
