First, yes I have the tuning/tech manual and have read it several times.
I have an Omnia that I got second hand and am discovering incrementally why it was for sale. This particular specimen has had a short, but hard life. When I got it the SET system was damaged, it had a poorly made custom string on it and generally wasn't ready for prime time. I got humpty put back together this weekend with a new upper SET assembly and brand new ABB platinum string set and everything went smoothly but struggling a bit with how to resolve static cam lean issue and start the tuning process. Static cam lean is zero for the bottom cam and the top cam is leaning "in" with bottom of cam leaning slightly toward the riser/ltr.
This bow is my first time tuning a setup for negative or "out" cam lean. Typically I've tuned all of my bowtechs with the far end of the cam leaning away from the riser slightly. Elite wants this one straight or with the innermost portion of the cams leaning slightly away to start.
Tune guide from Elite says to shim the affected cam but I'm accustomed to shimming both cams (and this sort of nullifies their fancy SET system). I'm wondering what the harm is in just using SET to move the cam slightly...yes I'd run out of adjustment on one cam before the other obviously but in my view if I have to max out the SET system I've got bigger issues anyway.
Anyone else had to deal with cam lean issues before tuning from zero? I'm wondering if shimming a single cam is actually the solution here or if I can get away with adjusting lean via SET to start. @sndmn11 did you run into any of this setting up yours or your wife's bow?
