    Can you yoke tune single cams? I know you do dual cams, just not sure about single cams. Just curious.

    There are two seperate things you can easily tune with the cable on a single cam.

    First is the axle to axle measurement. Put twists into the cable to shorten it up and take twists out to make it longer.

    Second thing you can verify is looking for idler lean. Take an arrow and put it on the side of the idler wheel - it should run parallel to the string. If it points more up or down, you need to put twists in one side of your yoke to make it straight. You can press inward on each of the sides of the yoke when the arrow is running along your idler wheel to verify what side you need to adjust.

    I ask because the center shot on my bow is on, and I'm spined correctly:

    Bow: 70 pounds, 28" draw
    Arrow: 28" Axis .340 and 28" Maxima Red 250 (both tear exactly the same)

    The tear is about an inch / inch and a half to the left.

    Also, there's no fletching contact anywhere.

    Oh, and it's a brand new string.

    I'm taking it back to the shop tonight, I just wanted to know a little more info before I get there.

    Couple twist in the yoke should take the tear out.
