Default Allegence problem maybe/

My 2006 Allegence seems to have to cams rubbing thetop and/or bottom limbs. I can feel whatseems to be a rub in the first few inchs of the draw cycle. I know it looks like there're touching the limbs and Ithink Irecall this happening to some of these bows in the past. Anyone know the cause if this is the case and what is the fix, a bushing maybe?

I can't honestly answer. It could be a cam or bushing issue. A few years ago I had a similar rubbing feeling on draw but it turned out the cable slide needed replaced.

Check your limbs for cracks as well. I just had my second set of limbs installed on my '05'. Both sets were delaminating.

Might you have dry fired this bow? or maybe used an arrow that was too light for your setup?

I think people (and Bowtech) put spacers beside the cam to correct the issue on the '05 & '06 models. That's if is not the bushing. Is the cam physically leaning or does it look bent at the lobe?

Len ordered new cams and limbs as they were rubbing pretty bad. Most likely a spacer or bushing but I'm happy.

I'm not sure if this was directed at my reply, but if so:
No, my bow has never been dry fired. I bought it new in July 05, and watched it come out of the box. I shoot 460gr total weight of CX terminator selects, and that is the only arrow I have ever fired through it. I don't know if I have an issue somewhere or what. However I do shoot about 200-500 arrows a week.

No here also.
Update:Bowtect sent the wrong limbs. Got all the way home and went to shoot the bow and it would only draw 53 lbs. Now another round trip of 190 milesis in order[:@].You would think they would have seen this after installation.
