Bowtech General
I recently bought a slightly used Bowtech General. It has the #2 cams on it (for 29" draw). I need a 29.5" draw (or close to it). The 2008 Bowtech owner's guide calls for the posts to be set at 16 for this cam. My question is: can I move the posts to say...18 with this #2 cam to fit my draw length? Or do I absolutely have to go buy new cams for this bow?? I have placed the post at 18 and the draw fits me very well now. Am I losing that much efficiency by doing this?? Thanks for the help.

i realize changing the cams is the most logical way to go, im just wondering if the way I have it set up now is ok (#2 cam with posts set on 18 instead of factory advised 16). If im not mistaken, each post accounts for 1/16" of draw length. so I guess im comfortable with a 29 1/8" draw on the bow with an extra 1/4" (give or take)from the D loop. Am I understanding that correctly??

You need to find a Bowtech Dealer and or look on ebay for CPX 1.5 mods. I have made MINOR adjustments to the mod post to find the sweet spot in my anchor, but would not fudge for a 1/2. You just spent some bucks on a great bow, do it and yourself a favor and spend the time to get the right mod. Good luck, it's a great bow.
