it seemed to shorten up my draw length a good amount. i have to lean my head forward to reach my kisser button now. i'm going to have to go out and get the 30inch module. but in the shots i took, it doesn't seem to be wearing any. i put wax on the cable and none of it came off. i called up my pro shop and asked what they did to it and he said he just moved the stop to make it a half and inch to an inch longer draw length because they didn't have any 30inch modules in. he also said that will take a couple weeks to get in so i need to find a place to get it. also i brought up to him the wearing on the cable and he said that all bows with cams similar to that do it. but they are a new dealer with bowtech so they are not familar with it i guess. i don't know, it doesn't seem normal to me.

While it's true serving wear is common on many one cam bows, not with WC string/cables..overdrawing it will cause it though as there is some overlapping...not a good situation. Your dealer should have put you into the correct module size.
I suggest you check around for a 30" module elsewhere. I don't have one, otherwise I'd send it to you, but perhaps Pat (BTS) can help you!

RE: PRO 38 question
thanks jeffb for offering. yeah i'm going to need a 30inch module for my bow. its just not long enough right now. i guess the shop thought they could do a quick fix in making the bow fit me without the 30 module. they are good guys there though, just new with bowtechs thats all.

I think I have a #2 module. But, by moving the draw stop two marks should have only been 5/16" or less.
Are you sure you want to go a whole inch longer?
If so then, if I were you I would take it back to the dealer and ask him to give you a #2 module and set the bow up right, since he didn't do it right the first time. Can you possibly give me the shop name so I can call or email them and explain the cam to them. Maybe the persons name that you spoke to also. If they're not setting bows/cams up right it's not doing them or BowTech any justice. I'll help you out as much as I can...
Please email me if you would [email protected]

Understandable, we all have to learn somehow
. Just that this could possibly have turned into a dangerous situation if you continued to shoot it. Bowtech has a very thorough owners manual explaining the Infinity cam. You can download it at www.Bowtecharchery.com. In a polite way, I would suggest you ask them to read it as well. It could come back to haunt them if they continue to set the cam/draw stop up inccorectly.
Good luck!

RE: PRO 38 question
bowtech shooter,
yes i need to have it a inch longer. i have 30 inch arrows and the way it is now, it overhangs my rest about 2 inches or so. i'll email you the name of the pro shop i am dealing with. but they did tell me that it would take 2 to 3 weeks until they get the modules in. they just got their first batch of bowtech bows in on monday, and i was the first one to buy one there. thanks for your help.

RE: PRO 38 question
kjclark7, it shouldn't take that long to get modules. I ordered modules for my son's Rascal, and they came in 8 days. Jeff & BTS are right about the cable wear. I've been shooting the tar out of my BowTechs for months, with no cable or string wear. 3 bows with the Infinity cam. Hopefully you can get things straightened out soon. Good luck.
Phil.

RE: PRO 38 question
quick question. right now the way i have my bow set up is: 29inch draw, 70lb draw weight, 400 grain arrow, cat whiskers, string loop, peep and i shoot 282fps. if i change to the 30 module, shouldn't the speed go up any? just curious thats all. i really like the way this bow shoots, very impressed.

You should gain roughly 7-10 fps. by adding an inch of draw length.
