Back in 09 or 10 when the Reezen came out I bought a black 7.0 andnit is still my bow I hunt with. I think it was he following year after I bought it, right before season I noticed that the bottom cam tilted just a little (top lean to the left). And when I pull on the string, it tilts just a little more as the draw cycle goes. I took it to the local bowshop at the time and asked them about it, it was near season and I didn't want to have issues if it was something serious. They told me it was nothing to worry about and so I said ok and life went on. fast forward to last weekend, I was shooting it just a little bit and notice that the top cam or roller whatever you want to call it, well it has a slight lean to it also. I don't remember ever noticing it like this but it leans bottom left, basically mirroring the bottom cam. Is this normal, does anyone else who has a Reezen notice that their bow does the same thing? It doesn't seem to shoot as well as it used to but I don't shoot as much as I used to so that may be just Indian error. But I'm just wondering if this is something that I should be worried about and get another opinion from another bow shop around here. And if This is something that would fall under Mathews Limited Lifetime warranty if it turns out the limbs are warped or whatever the issue may be. Thanks in advance!

Reezen 7.0 cam lean?
You can set the top (idler wheel) by adjusting the yokes so that's no big deal. The roller guard applies lateral force to the cables that's where it comes from. What matters is how they look at full draw, for them to be straight at full draw they require pre-lean to compensate. Not the end of the world, shoot on.

Let’s bring this old thread back up was doing some looking on some forums and read a few others having some issues with bent riser, limbs and cams.
I understand the pre lean to make up at draw but the pre lean it has is already leaning the wrong way. At full draw, the bottom cam gets worse and you can really see the difference from how much the string stop dampers and cocked over.
I have read some things that say those SQ4limbs or whatever those limbs were called, early on were thin and had issues flexing or warping. At rest, the bottom limb looks tweaked a little which makes then cam lean. Don’t see much of a lean on the top cam/roller.
Another thing I read was about the illusion the riser was bent above the rest area. Mine sure does have a right hand jog in it. Looking at the string and how it lines up with the riser, it’s good until it gets to that point and the riser starts running to the right. Most folks all said it was from some idiot putting it in a press wrong or from abuse. It’s never been ran over or anything and only been in a press maybe three times it’s whole life. And same dude did all the presses.

Yea if the riser is bent, take it back, they are supposed to warranty them. ( a lot will depend on the dealer you go to) That said, good luck, I have had issues with their great "warranty," in fact it was with my reezen when it was like two- three days old. There "warranty" cost me 200.00 ( labor) to fix. Long story,but it's why I don't shoot Mathews any more. My son is still shooting it though, haven't noticed any cam lean. Answer to above post, if riser is bent, new limbs ain't going to help.

Originally posted by rocky View PostGet your dealer to replace limbs. If you bought it new, it is warranteed. Bottom cam needs to lean slightly towards roller guard at brace, and idler needs to be straight, (plumb), at full draw. If not, you’ll have to manipulate rest pretty far inside to get the bow to tune. Not acceptable.

I’ve seen lots of limbs that fatigued and couldn’t carry the load transfer.
