Awesome Video brother! Very informative. I have a PSE 3BXL with the same issue, and I'm going to invest in a press and do this myself thanks to your help. You made it look pretty simple, and gave me some confidence. Thanks!

Thanks for the video mate, I always take photos of the rig as well before stripping it down to ensure everything goes back the way it should.

Great job and I appreciate the fact that you acknowledge you're not a professional. I shoot a Hoyt and it has the shims that require a press in order to remove the axle, however, it pretty simple with the right equipment. Very good video quality.

I have similar tear left on my PSE Evolve 35 that I bought used. Overall the bow is in good condition, but the bottom cam leans left (as in top of it leans left) while the top cam is pretty much straight. I'm about to shim the bottom one and test if I can get both straight and see how it goes.

the peg board is a great idea, nice job buddy

Great content…I have a question, did u try yoke tuning with that new system before shimming? I also want to get into working on my own bow.

@FourFletchArchery

With those yokes you usually only get about a 1/4” max of adjustment. I needed more than that which is why I shimmed. Great question! 👊🏽

Great video!! Can you do this keeping the bow in the press?? Just loosening the string??

Why take bow all the way down? Just take pressure of string and cables, pop out axle, shift shims, put axle back in and un press limbs and shoot.

Hi, nice video. I own a 2018 pse expedite and I would like to start tuning my own bow. It will be nice if you could explain why moving the cam to left when seeing a left tear on paper and at the end of the video yo said you had to move your rest because you could still see a little bit of a left tear on paper but you did not say which direction you had to move the rest to and why. Thank you.

I do all of my paper tuning from 5 yards. The fix for a tail left tear is either move the string to the left or the rest to the right. It would be the exact opposite for a tail right tear or a left handed shooter. I use paper tuning as a close starting point. Then I do a walk back tune to fine tune my center shot. Hope this helps!

Nice job. I need this video. I’ve never really had to shim my bows, but it’s always a possibility. How can you really keep from loosing this e-clips? 😂

you mention "you knew" the cams needed adjusted. how did you know? what are you looking for to make that determination or what symptoms did you have?

I shot the bow through paper at about 5 yards. A tear in paper let me know the arrow wasn’t coming out of the bow true. This is when I made the decision to shim cams. Thanks for watching! 🫡

At what point do you decide your cams need adjusted? What to look for on the paper or on our bows that says it’s cams are off ?

@FourFletchArchery

11 ай бұрын

If you are getting a tail left or tail right tear through paper that would be your first indication. If it’s more than a 1/4” out I would shim. Hope this helps!

For most Pse bows, do you need to purchase shims or should you be able to do what you have to with what’s on the bow?

@FourFletchArchery

4 ай бұрын

Typically, you will just move around what you have. If you are running the newer EZ .220 system you may have to purchase a shim kit with the tool and additional shims. The old washer style you will just swap shims from one side to the other as needed. 🫡

So sorry for the slow response. Not sure how I missed your comment. For a right handed shooter you move the rest towards the riser (right) or the string left (shimming cam) to clean up a tail left tear. I would have moved my rest very slightly to the right to clean up! Thanks for watching!

Still not get brave enough to set my own bow up. Maybe this year.

Quick question. I am getting a consistent tear right, just opposite of your tear left. Should I move my cams to the right then to see if that helps?

Is shimming the only way to correct lean on PSE’s

If you have cam “lean” you would likely correct that through the floating yoke system if you have one of the newer PSEs with the PBTS system. Thanks for watching and I hope that helps! 🤘🏽

Somebody can show you how to remove E clips, without them taking flight. Install wasn't bad but there's an easier method. Basically a small screwdriver to remove, needle nose to install. Videos available on KZread demoing this.

You did a lot more than you had to, you can leave the bow in the press and the strings on as well. Still love the chanel though.

Some presses don't press the 4 individual limbs exactly the same and the axle alignment can be off just a tough making it hard to get the axles holes to line up. This can make it hard to swap out the shims and reinstall the axles without difficulties. I have my own press, a bow-a-constrictor and have done shimming with the bow in the press. Sometimes it can be difficult and I have also done it like he did in the video.

Now, I have seen video after video talking about shimming cams to tune a broadhead. I, in my 62 years have never had to do that. Now I have not shot the full 62 years of course, but I was an indoor 300 competitive shooter. Also a life long bow Hunter. Just my opinion, but can shimming should not be a thing. There is another issue. Find it and fix that. If it’s your grip, get it right. Also, too many bows without a grip at all, when back in my day they all came with three. You picked the one that for your hand the best and installed that one. We need to get back to interchangeable grips on the bows again. Everyone’s hands are different. So just my input, stop messing with the factory set I’m and find why your broadhead a won’t tune. Maybe just poor broadheads also.
