Shadow Cat Specs

[DonsHarley]

Would anyone know the ATA and Brace of an 05 shadow cat with elite 70 lb limbs, nitrous x a cam?

Should be at or close to 40 1/4" with a 6 1/2" brace height.

I talked to Joel yesterday and he said 40 1/4 and 8 1/2 but I'm at 41 1/2 and 8 13/16 with brand new strings and cable and max lb of 68. So what's my next move?

If possible check if your string and cables are on spec.

[DonsHarley]

I,m going to do that tomorrow. Do I need to measure them under tension and from inside to inside the loop or outside?

[Montalaar]

In my eyes the difference is that small that you do not need to worry about that. I always measure form inside of loop to inside of loop as this is the effective lengths on the bow.

I knew that 6 1/2" brace height wasn't right, but don't remember where I saw it. Obviously a typo. It is 8 1/2", Don.

Can't remember seeing it, but what cams do you have? I mean which size Nitrous? There are three; A, B, and C. Cable lengths for all three are the same. String length differs.

A--53.25"
B--56.25"
C--61.5"

Cable length is 42.75"

Also, because of the different sizes the brace height will vary a bit with A Nitrous being lower than B and B being lower than C. I believe the factory specs are with the C Nitrous.

[DonsHarley]

I have Nitrous A cams and the sticker on the bow says 53.25 and 42.75. Would the ATA be different between cam sizes, being over by 1.25 seems like a lot? The string set only has about 50 shots on them so I'll measure them tomorrow and get back with my findings.

[Montalaar]

The ATA will not change significantly with a different Cam size.

[DonsHarley]

Well I measured the string and cables and the measurements are right on and the cams are timed perfect but I'm still 1" over on the ATA and 3/8 over on brace. At this point I'm clueless as to how to correct the problem if in fact it really matters that much so I'm open to sugestions.
