Cable Selection Help - First time Bow setup

By doing that your affecting the cam rotation. Short stringing will advance the cam thus drop the peak poundage. Long stringing the opposite.
You can micro the draw length by twisting yes. It’s more effective by using the cables and strings together instead of just using the string.
Hopefully that makes sense. I don’t always do a good job of conveying these things.

Thanks for the explanation. When you say a combination of strings/cables are you doing the opposite to both, i.e. to shorten draw adding twists to the string and removing from the cables OR are you doing the same to both, i.e. adding twists to the string to shorten draw and adding twists to the cables to counteract loss of poundage and changing cam starting location? Thanks in advance!

Well if I want to get a little extra draw I’d take one twist out of main and add a twist to each cable. That’d get you about an 1/8”.

Gotcha, thanks again for the info (and thanks to the OP for allowing me to hijack). I will try that next time to keep things more even between string/cables. Seems I'm about a 28 1/4 with my Reign 7, which equates to about 4-5 twists out of my current string without jacking with the cables. I'm OK with the extra poundage though, it only draws about 70 with the string/cables in spec.
