I am working toward getting that right elbow up but have some issues with the shoulder. I continue to work on it but it just isn't there yet is it? thanks for pointing that out. We are going to look at the bow and see if we want to tackle changing the mod ourselves or trying to find someone close that can do it for me. Still one sweet working bow. Take a close look at those mods I believe that you can remove them without needing a press as long as you can access the Allen screws under the limbs. If that is the case then you can have someone draw the bow an inch while you unscrew that one bolt under that limb and then that will allow you to access the mod. Ask elk or royden ... they should know to access the mod screw safely without a press when it is under the limb

Shorten the draw an inch, it will put the knock under your eye {which is where it should be} by shorting it it will also bring your elbow up and more parallel with the arrow. Your stance is good, just leaning back because your DL is a little long. Stand straight up so your head is in line with your belt buckle. Relax your fingers, and your bow arm just so its not hyper extended.

This may be a dumb question but I will ask it anyway. Untill I confirm with Elk about changing the draw length mods, can I take up the 1" draw length difference by shortening my release by that amout? Will that have the same effect?

I'd do that anyway. But to answer your question- No!! The DL will still be the same on the bow. The only difference will be where your anchor is. On the Module change, the Prowler should be able to be relaxed by turning out the limb bolts. Almost ALL Martins have that feature.

Don't turn out the limb bolts! .... they are already maxed outward. Another 2 turns and you'll catch the limbs in the face

BT- What year is that bow? I'm almost positive(99%) that the Prowsler SE can be relaxed this way. There is an opening on the side of the riser where the set screw is located and you can easily detect how far you can turn them out. The max turns recommended by Martin is 5. That should/will relax the string enough to get the cam to rotate. Very simple really and no danger to yourself if done properly. JJust don't REMOVE the limb bolts and all will be well.

Here's some more pertinent info. The Fuzion cams were discontinued in 2003 BTW. ADJUSTING THE DRAW LENGTH The Fuzion Single Cam System boasts a revolutionary design and is engineered to give you peak performance and speed. Using draw length modules, the draw length can be adjusted in 1" increments (see fig. 1) The modules can also be used to adjust the let-off. A high let-off module is marked as F-#. A 65% let off module is marked with a F-#\. The slash on the end of the size number indicates 65% let-off. To change the draw length replace the module on the cam by removing the screws that hold it to the cam (see Fig.3). NOTE: do not draw your bow without the module installed. It will damage your harness. The Fuzion module sizes range from F-1 to F-7. If you would like to increase the draw length select a higher number. If you would like to decrease the draw length select a lower number. The draw length can also be adjusted up or down 1/2" using the pegs on the back of the cam (see fig.1). The #2 peg is the prescribed draw length for each module. The #1 peg is 1/2" longer and the #3 peg is 1/2" shorter. The draw weight will change one or two pound, accordingly, when using the peg adjustment. So no press or limb loosening is required .

Thats why I said dont loosen it anymore. They are already maxed to the low side in regard to the limb bolts. I suggested drawing the bow a smidge to access the screws but the screw driver is another idea as far as keeping it set. (I don't like it but it's their recommended process so they should know best....I guess) I do like the idea of stressing the bow string backward instead of drawing to access .... it's a one man job that way All this info. should be in the package that came with it Stilllearning
