Mathews Lift limbs canted?

[Geewhiz]

I just bought a Mathews Lift, last years model not the lift x, and when I lay it on its side on a flat surface like my kitchen counter it will rock back and forth like the limbs aren't parallel with each other. Is it engineered in such a way that there is supposed to be a bit of cant or are they both supposed to be in the same plane? Just never noticed that before with other bows.




Not my bow but in this pic only 3 of the 4 circled points would contact a surface. Seams like they should all contact at the same time? Paranoia?

Take your lift and set it on a table or counter. Does it sit there firmly or does it teeter back and forth?

Mine 2024 Lift teeters slightly. Maybe 1/16”-1/8”. It is the best shooting bow I have ever owned since approximately 1990. Does not seem to be an issue. I am guessing torque through the limbs/riser due to the cable guard?

I checked a 2008 Bowtech with solid limbs, same thing occurs to approximately the same degree.

As long as it is not drastic it is totally normal due to the offset cables on a compound!

Right on that makes me feel better.

Roller guard is not centered between limb tips so there is more side load on the top.
