Take a look at the draw length modules on the cams. My guess is that they will be set on probably A or B.

You really want to have them set on E or F to allow a full rotation.

Sounds like you may need a new, smaller set of cams. Unfortunately this will also mean new strings and cables. Personnally, I'd take the bow back tot he shop, explain the problem and ask them to help you sort it out. After all, they did sell it to you in the first place.

I think I'm on C at the moment, but thanks for the comment on how the Cam 1/2 works, especially how the rotation limit affects the valley. I actually got the bow from eBay on a bit of an impulse (why do I never learn!!!) and Lez at Aardvark Archery has helped me with the setup. I will call in and have a chat to see what might be done - Lez knows his stuff and if anyone can help, he can - if not it is not so much hardship as I have the Ultramag.

Cheers All
