I have used the e-clip tool to remove e-clips by flipping it over but honestly your flathead screwdriver method works much better. The soft nock knot you tied for your torque-less loop I usually refer to as a constrictor knot. I’m glad I’m also not the only one who drops spacers/clips and also hardly ever picks the right Allen when working on bows! Thanks for the great and informative video!

Great rebuild video, George! Love "Thing A Week"!

GRIV, I love your work. Center shot on the rest was eye opening. You make me think I can do this stuff. Got one suggestion. Add a sewing seam ripper to your tool chest. Will make removing small ties and peep tie ins, etc. sooooo much easier. My wife taught me the value of this small tool. It's in my archery tool box and will soon be in yours if you give it a try. Best wishes!

Oh👏🏻my👏🏻god👏🏻 what a great tip!!! Thank you!

First! Oh yeah! You are a professional! I think if I take my bow apart it takes me a week to put it back together. Well explained!

Great video, George.

Great video, but I have a question on the initial timing. Although the bow was timed as you set it up, can you show how you would adjust it if it were not? Also, how many twists do you put into the string and cables when first setting up and is there a minimum or maximum number of twists you should be mindful of not exceeding? In other words, GRIV, what is your typical "baseline" number of twists in both the cables and the shooting string when setting up the bow initially? Does it even matter? How do you bring the bow "into spec." if it is not once you have installed the cables and string? Thanks and keep up the very informative videos.

I thought if you changed to a different cam you would have to change out your limbs? I maybe wrong, but great video nonetheless!!! Thanks GRIV!!!

How much poundage change going from one cam to another?
