Cam ORIEntatIOn:
On cams with orientation marks, a reference mark is found to indicate an approximate
orientation. This line is for reference only and is meant to give approximate orientation
only and may vary between bow models. The orientation of the cams may be changed
slightly by twisting or untwisting the string or cables. If attaching the string to the “+” or
the “-“ post, the orientation marks will not be aligned with the cable.

StRInG POSt aDJUStmEntS
Some PSE cams have string post adjustments for draw length. For minor changes in draw
length, the bow must be placed in a suitable bow press and tension relieved from the
string and cable. The string side of the cam may have additional posts. Moving the string
from the post with the dot to the post with the “+” will increase draw by approximately ¼”.
Moving the string from the post with the dot to the post with the “-“ will decrease draw by
approximately ¼”.
aLL InnER-CamS:
The inner-cam system allows draw length adjustments over a prescribed range usually
without putting the bow in a bow press. There are two types of inner-cam systems: discrete
setting inner-cams and Posi-Lock inner-cams.
Discrete setting inner-cams have the adjustment screws going through a specific hole in
the inner-cam and threading into the cam. The screws need to be completely removed
to make adjustments. The “A” setting is the longest draw length for that bow and draw
lengths get shorter as you progress through the alphabet (A to B, B to C, etc.)
PosiLock adjustable inner-cams
are adjustable in ½”
draw length increments.
The “A” setting is the longest
setting for the cam.
Draw lengths get shorter as
you progress through the alphabet
(“A” to “B”, “B” to “C”, etc.) by
roughly ½” per letter.
Second generation PosiLock inner-cams allow for draw length adjustments in ½”
increments without changing inner-cams. To adjust draw length, loosen the two 8-32
button head screws 2 full turns. This will allow the inner-cam to be lifted far enough to
disengage the positioning pin and allow the inner-cam to rotate to a new position. Some
cams may require the 8-32 button head screws to move to alternate locations to reach the
new draw length adjustment position. Some draw length adjustment positions may not be
accessible without putting the bow in a bow press. When the new draw length adjustment
position has been achieved with the inner-cam, tighten the two 8-32 button head screws
and move the draw stop to the matching setting (“A” and “A”, “B” and “B”).
In cases where there is an inner-cam on both the top and bottom cam, both cams must be
set in the same letter position for the bow to tune and shoot properly. In cases where there
is a separate draw stop, the draw stop must be moved to the hole marked with the letter
corresponding to the inner-cam setting.
