How to fix bottom cam lean on a hoyt

Are you still shooting your Hoyts? Or has your Xcentric won all of your attention now? :P Always love the videos, thanks for sharing. God bless.

thank you Sean hope you had a great holidays thanks for making this video I did not even think about the bottom cam as always God bless you and your family

Is there a way to check cam lean using an arrow? If so can you post a vid. Slight cam lean that is. Thanks Sean

Let me confirm the logic: you had the bottom-cam's lower end to the left, and the higher end to the right. That was your cam lean, right. Meaning that the rotatiin axis of your bottom-cam was too far left. Putting a thicker spacer near the cam (and a thinner ont the other side, to maintain the distance between the limbs) you moved the cam to the right, aligning the cam rotation axis with the string. Is this the correct judgement?

thanks, good video

God bless you too

Where can I get these spacers? I have the exact same problem with my Katera.

I have a bear cruzer, and I had to do the same exact thing to my bottom cam. My bow was only about a month old. So I am assuming it came from the factory that way. And I didn't even know it, I took it to my local bow shop, which is a three hour drive to have a new string put on it he pointed this problem out to me which is good to know in the future.

I have a bow shop trying to tell me that my new Hoyt Defiant Turbo could have cam lean and that this is perfectly normal? I have never heard this. Is this correct?

Hi Sean! I got an extreme cam Lean on my hoyt carbont defiant turbo... I did everything you mentioned here (trying to put less pressure on cable, swapping limbs) and nothing worked so far... I'll give your technique a try and post here the results!

Thank you for explaining cam lean. Incidentally, I ended up purchasing a Hoyt Carbon Redwrx RX-1 with the split cabling system that is supposed to help prevent bottom cam lean. Do you think this split yoke style cabling will actually work?

Sean, I have a cheap Bowtech (Diamond Edge SB-1) with the binary cam system (but no split yoke), and after increasing poundage to around 61 lbs, I've got excessive cam lean on my top cam. I was definitely going to try what you have done here, swapping the spacers, but I saw a comment you made above about Bowtechs: you're saying that slight cam lean is how you attain peak performance with some Bowtechs? Also, if trying to minimize cam lean, is it better to determine how much there is by looking at it at rest, or at full draw? Thanks!

Hey man any chance you can tell me what I need to do to remove the string suppressor rubber on a hoyt maxxis for replacement?

Thank you sir

This is interesting, I kept getting a tail right tear with my Torrex that no rest adjustment could fix (hamaskea trinity) so I ended up adding twists to the right yolk and removing twists from the left (4 full twists each) which would then shoot bullet holes but the top cam had what I would consider excessive cam lean (bottom of the cam leaning left) with zero twists in the left yolk. I also noticed the bottom cam was very close to the left limb with the way they had the spacers (thin on the left and thick on the right) which seemed odd as it obviously was not in alignment with the top cam at all. I swapped those spacers and now the string appears to have much better alignment and I was able to get the top cam back to nearly zero lean at full draw. It makes me wonder why they have the bottom cam shimmed the way it was. I hate to question the engineers at Hoyt unless it was just installed incorrectly at the factory.
