MV 2 Cams

[The Phantom]

I have a 2003 Martin MV2. The draw length is 27". I need to find some cams for with a 29" draw length. I believe they originals are Fury Cams. Can I still get cams for it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried looking on ebay, they did have a few draw modules for martin's on there. don't know if they are the ones you need.

You might also look in the classifieds on Archery Talk. If you don't find anything then post an ad the WTB section.

I am gonna Call Martin and see what my options are. I believe I have to change the limbs too, which I don't really understand why.

May be time to just shine it on, though I do love the bow!

I checked ebay with no luck. Seems Ineed Fury #2 cams or Fury X #1 for the 29" draw. I did read I may have to change the limbs too, which doesn't make much sense to me. WHy would the limbs need to change with a simple cam change!!??!?!

If my knowledge base serves me right there is a logical explanation. Fury cams are draw-length specific, right? To change draw length you have to change the cam and string. If you are changing (in your case) to a larger cam then the draw weight is going to go down. The bow is going to draw easier.

It's just like using a lever to move something. With a given length of lever it takes X amount of force to do the work. Use a longer lever and it takes less effort on your part to do the same job. A cam on a bow, because of it's shape, is nothing but a lever. It starts at a certain position and the length of that lever is continually changing as the cam rolls over. Start with a longer lever (larger cam) and the whole workload ( limb stress= draw weight) becomes easier.

Now I don't have any experience with the Fury cam, but just guessing you'd lose about 10# from the draw weight if changing to 2" longer draw length. Maybe Scott can clarify this.

I hope I explained that well enough for you.

This the Fury Cam and Limb Chart. Going from 27" to the larger 29" cam you will loose 5 lbs. draw weight.

Makes perfect sense! SO its not a question of actual fit, but simply a change in poundage! So, If I can tolerate the lose, I really don't HAVE to swap the limbs.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it to this neophyte!

I have been out of archery for 20 years, and things have changed a bit. Its a lost passion for me and I have been rebitten pretty hard.

Do you know the difference between the fury and fury X cams? I suspect it is simply let off?

Thanks for posting that! I found the Cam/string chart , but this is a new one to me.

I can happily live with a lose of 5 lbs! Do you know the difference between the Fury / Fury X cams?

The reguler Fury cams just have a cable track on one side and require a cable guard. The fury X cams have a cable track on both sides and use two cables on each side of the limb. No cable guard torque. I have a new, to me, Scepter IV with the Furious X shoot through system and I am loving it. I shoot Fingers and I am getting better arrow flight with the shoot through than I ever got with a bow with a cable guard.
