Len,
IfI don't have a tuning machine, what do I look for to get the lean correct?
I have had lean issues w/ a Switchback and the Trykon I still have. Both tuned very well w/ ata the same on both sides. Was this a fluke?
I understand what gibblet is saying about the cables pulling unevenly during the draw.
On both bows, the top cam/idler are tilted in slightly at rest. At this position, ata is even. I checked the best I could at full draw that the idler was vertical.

Without the proper equipment, you can check the string tracking on the cam and hope that you've got a good eye. You can also do a straightedge check, but that can be misleading on a single cam bow.

Most can do just fine with a small level if they have a vice to hold the bow Check the bottom cam for level,then adjust the idler/top to match
MOST bows will be fairly close in the static position and you could even call the factory to see what they reccomend the lean to be in the static position.
A laser and some way to hold the bow at full draw is definaetly the best.
