    I think im gona change the strings to see if that does any thing if anyone has any more info or your creed is like this let me know anything will help im not sure what to do or think i called 2 shops one said its fine maybe could use some twists but its prob fine the other shop said it should never do that and i might need a whole new cam so im stumped and i dont know where to bring it with 2 shops telling me different things .

    I would google the issue before I started messing with everything... You might "fix" something that doesn't need to be "fixed." Thats just me.

    Ive googled it and called two shops google has nothing on the issue snd shops are telling me different things im gona change the strings and mess with it i guess if i cant get it right then im gona sell it and go to a different company since mathews isnt helping me and im not buying another cam or paying over 75 to fix it and i guess no one has a creed they can draw back and look and see if its the same as mine its only at full draw when the back wall hits the cable touches it might be time to give up mathews after 8 years of shooting there bows

    I fixed the problem you can not ad or take out twists does nothing to the bottom cam and a shim kit doesn't work either I got Mathews number from my buddy who owns buck stop archery talk to a Mathews tech here's how to fix the issue for anyone else with this more than half the creeds made do this but I took the bottom limbs off and flipped them around put the right on the left and left on the right side looks the exact same but totally fixed the issue so just flip flop the limbs don't buy new ones or a shim kit do this first to save you money Mathews said it's ok and told me to they said thus is there biggest issue with the creeds I understand there will always be a little cam lean on shorter ata bows but it worked great

    Just got another call back from mathews about this problem even though i fixed it for now but the real issue with the creeds is this they all almost need new cams they said the bareings in the cam are wrong ones more than half the creeds have this problem he said they told me to bring it in to a dealer and they would have the correct cam within a week he told me its not serious and i could shoot it as much as i want with the cam touching its not cam lean at all its when you draw the bow the bareings are not matching so it causes the one side limb to come in a little to make it touch he said i coukd shoot it like that as.much as i want so its not lean or a bent cam just wrong parts on the cam he said so im gona shoot it like this untill end of season then bring it in for a new cam replacement so if you have this you need a new cam but you can shoot like this its not serious i have a paper thin gap now from switching the limbs but you should have more of a gap than that he said so if its touching or a very small gap bring it in for a new cam its covered undm

    No my really good friend owns a shop 6 hours away from me and he sells me the bows at the price he pays for them and ships them to me now and that voids the warranty and i cant just drive to him anytime i want hes down in brownstown il im up in lasalle county now so no warranty. I buy a new bow each year and never needed a warranty before with any bows this is the first but if i cant fix it im gona give it away i just bought the creed xs last night for 700 new but its being shipped from his shop again so no warranty but im looking for a shop around me thats good i tried antlers and anglers and bryants archery and my bow now is at strickley but they have had it forever now waiting for a cam swap i dont mind paying it keeps the small shops up and running plus i resell the cams on ebay if i switch them out i never needed to till now though.

    Well everyone just picked up my custom creed it has a new creed xs updated cam on it and still leaning so i went to mathews in wis and they tested it on there machines come to find out i bought it with a weak bottom limb thats why its leaning and the black limbs i bought for it also has a weak limb causing it to lean still so now its waiting for another new set of black limbs and pockets hope this time it works out i like the creed better than the xs plus its faster but man this sucks all this trouble with one bow never had this happen before so now mathews is giving me free limbs for all my troubles even though i have no warranty so now i have 2 sets of limbs and 2 extra cams it wasnt even the cams like mathews said it was weak limbs i got cursed with this bow lol but a new set of limbs will be here soon and itll be fixed finally thats what happens when you buy a day one release bow i guess damn split limbs mathews needs to go back to there old limbs.
