Tuning Cam Lean on Hoyt Alpha X and RX8 Bows 

the HOYT tuners though are to course. Most likely you would find yourself unable to duplicate tuning done with this kit.

@@GrimstodDesh great point. My friend has a machine shop. I would make whatever is required , but full washers

Prime uses a very slick aluminum C-shaped shim system that can only pop on or off when the axles are relaxed in a press. Super fine, accurate adjustments, very similar to the PSE system. So partial shims have been tested and they work fine when the pressure is back on the axles. Just a thought for ya!

Only the alpha and RX8 for now. I have to make a different size because of the difference in limb width for the older bows. I will make one eventually. Just have to get my hands on one.

So far no sign of wearing on them. They do not get any friction anyway because of the bearing.

There are detailed videos about how which ones to use and the normal hoyt system. Its similar. Shims have to equal 0.2in. Just like the hoyt shims

In the description there is a link.

So two things. One you can alway just have your dealer remove them when you pick up your bow. Second. The time you save using these vs the Hoyt system is worth the cost of the kit. Oh amd you get finer increments of tuning. The hoyt kit is so corse you find yourself between shims a lot. I don’t think you void your warranty because your not modifying the bow. Its no different the putting a site or another brand arrow quiver on the bow.

It's a portable one you can buy on Ebay.

Yws in the description.

Watch MFJJs video on tuning a Hoyt. It is 30 min long and at the end he still did not have it finished.

As someone who has had a year’s worth of hell trying to get an RX-7 to tune, until my bow shop wants to throw my bow away, my opinion is that the Hoyt system is the most antiquated system for tuning cam lean on the market, and bow shop techs cringe when a customer asks to paper tune their Hoyt. Pulling the axles, shims dropping on the floor, too course of adjustments, it’s just beneath what in all other ways are the best engineered bows on the market. But that’s just my opinion after a year of grief, so take it for what’s its worth.🤣

I agree but I own about 23 bows so I just bought the hoyt x alpha 33 because I liked the look and specs, I do like elites systems and bowtechs but I already own those systems I wouldn't mind one of the new athens but drawlength isn't short enough I'd still rather a hoyt with adjustable drawlength and letoff than a mathews but this idea is simlar to pse's 220 shim systems

I wish bowtech made a tech riser. Then I would have gone that rout for sure. But alas ever one makes the risers the skinniest right were they need the most strength.

They can all be tuned if you know what you're doing. Very easy to shim a Hoyt.

​@@douglasvaughn9530it's easy if you're got a press, the tools that they sell separately, that they had to design due to the issues that people had who knew what they were doing. Most people haven't got a press nor the years of experience that's needed to attempt to use this system.

​@@GrimstodDeshwere abouts on the riser do they need to strengthened, and in your opinion what manufactors need to be beefed up the most and what are some of the issues that your likely to come across due to riser been to thin? Sorry for all the questions man, I'm trying to get as much unbiased information as I can due to been in the market for a new bow

They should hire me. :)

Since it bolts on NO. It's no different then putting a sight on your bow. Now changing your strings to another bran will do that.
