Can Cam timing affect compression?
Effects of Changing the Cam Timing This changes the cylinder’s ability to build pressure. On the other hand, if the camshaft timing is retarded, the intake valve will close later (usually sometime during the compression stroke). It should be no surprise that this drops cranking compression and hurts low-rpm power.
Does draw length affect accuracy?
Many bowhunters shoot a draw length that is too long for them, which hurts shooting form and degrades accuracy. You hear this all the time–that a long draw overextends your bow arm and makes it harder to hold against the back wall and to maintain a consistent anchor point.
How much can lean is acceptable?
Registered. At the fartherest point, 1/8 of an inch. At full draw on the draw board it is almost perfect.
What does retarding the cam do?
Advancing or retarding the cam pushes the centerline of the camshaft to one side or the other of the crankshaft centerline. This changes the Timing of the valve opening and closing events, in relation to the position of the piston in the cylinder.
How do I adjust the cam on my bow?
On a right handed bow, moving the cam to the right will cause the cam to lean away from the cables, and moving the cam to the left will cause the cam to lean towards the cables. Most modern bows use spacers to locate the position of the cams on the axle, which can be adjusted to change the lean of the bow.
How do I set timing on my elite bow?
Setting your timing properly is one of the most crucial aspects as pertaining to the tenability and accuracy of a bow. Luckily, on your Elite bow it is extremely easy. The easiest way that I have found to set timing is to move the limb stops to the maximum let off position and tighten them there.
How do you set timing on the cam?
The easiest way that I have found to set timing is to move the limb stops to the maximum let off position and tighten them there. This lets you get a consistent reference on the cam.
Can you shoot a bow with too much cam lean?
Shooting a bow with excessive cam lean could result is string derailment and potential injury. As an archer, you should accept that your bow’s cams will not be perfectly straight at both brace and full draw. Cam lean can be used as a powerful tool to help get the most forgiving, well-tuned bow possible.
