Just received my Alaskan XT after a 5 month long wait. In the process of getting it setup and tuned but it has excessive cam lean on the bottom cam. Only brought it to full draw a handful of time and already, the serving on the string is starting to show signs of wear. Pulled it on the draw board and the bottom draw stop hits the control cable on the way to full draw. Contacted Bear support and I'm told that if I am able to, I would have to swap some shims around to correct this issue. I have a press and should be able to get this done but I have never played with shims before and have no idea what to expect when I pull the axle out... Did some search on here and Youtube and didn't find anything for how to do this on a Bear bow.
Anyone on here that could tell me a little about it? How many shims will fall off when I pull the axle out
? Any tips and tricks or reference to some pictures/videos? I would just hate to end up with a mess of shims falling out and then learn the hard way that "I should've done it this way" only after the fact .
I know this is the best place to ask with all of the very knowledgeable archers always ready to help. I just would like to have a better idea before taking on this task.
Here are a few questions that come to mind...
Thanks ahead of time for your help with this!

Here are a few questions that come to mind...
- How many shims can I expect to find (can't tell by just looking at the axle)
- Any tip and trick to not drop them all on the floor while pulling out the axle (if that might happen)
- By how much do you normally shim (does a little go a long way?)
- Can you usually get it set with the existing set of shims or need to buy a kit?
Thanks ahead of time for your help with this!
