Compound Cam Timing, Peep Alignment & Micro-Tuning

A step-by-step diagnostic guide for compound archers on synchronizing dual cams, eliminating string twist, and paper tuning carbon arrows.

Compound Cam Timing, Peep Alignment & Micro-Tuning

Synchronizing Dual and Hybrid Cams Perfect cam timing ensures both string stops strike the control cables simultaneously at full draw. Even a 1mm deviation alters the vertical launch trajectory of the arrow.

#### Step 1: Draw Stop Synchronization Place the bow on a draw board. Gradually draw to full stop and inspect both limb/cable stops. Adjust cable twists until contact is identical.

#### Step 2: Peep Sight Rotation & Height Ensure the peep sight opens square to the scope housing without needing an elastic tube. Align the circular scope bezel concentrically within the peep aperture.

#### Step 3: Paper Tuning Protocol Shoot a bare shaft through paper at 2 meters and 5 meters: - **High Tear**: Move D-loop up or rest down. - **Low Tear**: Move D-loop down or rest up. - **Left/Right Tear**: Micro-adjust rest windage or yoke twists.
