Hoyt charger tuning help

[Brodie]

I picked up a used charger for my wife and am just in the process of setting it up for her.
I've let the limbs out to the maximum amount for her and notice that the top draw stop is hitting way ahead of the bottom draw stop.
What should I start twisting to get the cams timed?
Any help is appreciated.

Making progress, within a half twist or so now. I'm not sure if it was plate with by the previous owners or cam from the factory like this but top came was probably 3/8" ahead of the bottom cam!

Things move a lot from string stretch, even more so on a bow with lower quality strings. If the top cam is hitting early then add twists in the control cable. I like to set Hoyts with the top cam hitting about a credit card gap ahead of the bottom as this yields a much firmer back wall.

Thanks BackcountryMT I set it as you suggested. She tried it out today for the first time and she did great and loved it.

Good to hear!

I too have this bow. Is it good practice to upgrade the string on a mid-range bow like this?

I would say yes, I have replaced my factory string/cables on my last couple bows with vaportrails and they are a huge improvement. I have well over 1000 shots on the set I put on this year and bow has stayed perfectly tuned with zero peep turn.
The charger sting/cables on my wife's bow are not great as backcountry mentioned, they will be getting upgraded next year when I order another set for mine.

Loving this bow for her, picked up the correct modules for her last week (shorter) and she is getting some impressive groups already at 30 yards. I even watched our baby boy while she was out shooting her bow the other night....used to be the other way around. So now we stick him in the stroller and he comes along for the ride so dad gets some practice!
