OK all,
Maybe someone can help. I have always shot between 27 and 28 inch DL off fingers and always shot compound. To that end I bought a C4 @ 28 with minimax cam system, as luck would have it it also came with the 27 and 29 minimax cams. Anyway, I fitted all the gubbins and re served where I needed to after addiing bits. I thought I would just put a few arrows through before I swapped the cam out for the 27 and oddly the 28inch cam is too short. As far as I can see the ATA, brace, timing, correct idler wheel etc. is on the money. I've put the 29 inch on and not needed to change anything but I haven't tried it yet.
Question is - do minimax cams run short in comparison to others or could I be missing something? I know I was shooting too short at 27 but even with the 28 cam I was a good inch in front of my face when i would usually be at anchor (fingers). For an experienced finger shooter of about 5ft 8 does 29 sound reasonable? Everythings gotten so Americanised and release aid centred I'm now confusing myself. As an aside my mate shoots a 28inch minimax off fingers and he's only 5ft 5 which is making me question is everything as it should be with minimax cams.
