roll them back exactly the same amount there is a way to tiler tune you bow for you but you really need to be able to shoot atleast 50 yards and shoot a decent group to do this..
It's these cams that have me concerned. Cam timing? I've never had a problem tuning a bow in the past but they have become a lot more sophisticated in recent years. I've done 'walk back' tuning for center shot. I always measured from the limb pocket to the string for tiller. I guess I just need to dive into it and figure it out. Thanks for the input, Glen.

If the cams are in time before adjusting the draw weight down, they should stay in time if you adjust the draw weight down, if you adjust each limb bolt the same amount. Still check your tiller just like you did in the past. Check cam timing at full draw before adjusting weight, if off it will probably require twisting a cable.

The old Mach 4. They were a fast noisy bow. I shot 26 inch arrows through mine at 73 lbs with a 6 inch over draw. Took alot of shooting to get used to that bow. Lol, that sounds just about like what I was shooting. You wound up with a brace height of about three inches and a broadhead hanging just over your wrist. I blew a limb on that bow and don't recall its fate. I still have a twenty year old Hoyt Havoc that's completely serviceable with the original string and cables. Good times.

If you have a double cam bow, you can measure tiller from the bowstring. If it’s a single cam you need to string some dental floss or other small diameter tuff string from axle to axle to measure to. That’s straight from a Bowtech technician. Learned that from a Bowtech VFT EXTREME with excessive nock travel.
