User manual HOYT 2002 COMPOUND BOW

[. . . ] YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR ARCHERY SAFETY Please read the following safety information. Disregarding these rules may cause serious injury to yourself or property. Firing a bow without an arrow to absorb the energy can cause severe damage to your bow and possible injury to the shooter or others nearby. Excessive heat, such as that experienced on a sunny day inside a closed vehicle, could cause limb failure. [. . . ] On some shorter axle to axle models, adjustable cable guard bars can fig 6 be off-set too much 11 causing the cable to track off the cam. To prevent this from happening, NEVER SET THE BAR AT THE THREE O' CLOCK POSITION. CABLE GUARD GLIDE INSTALLATION Hoyt USA uses a specially designed cable glide that has off-set cable slots. To correctly install the glide on two-cam, VersaCam, and Redline Cam model bows, make sure that when the cables are inserted into the glide the shortest slot is to the rear and the longer slot closest to the grip. For all SaberCam model bows, make sure that the longest slot is to the rear and the shorter slot is closest to the grip. 7 Note: If you have trouble pulling the cables back far enough to get the glide over the end of the cable guard bar, you will need to use a bow press. Hoyt USA recommends that the cable 12 guard glide installation be done at a Pro Shop. CAUTION: Do not pull bow back without proper installation of cable guard bar and glide. TILLER ADJUSTMENT Tiller is the difference in actual distance between the upper limb to the string and lower limb to the string measured from the base of the limbs (where the limb and riser meet) at a 90 degree angle. 9 Single cam models must be measured from a ref13 erence line from axle to axle. (See fig 9) The main function of tiller is to allow the archer to more easily and comfortably aim during the draw and release of the shot. Most bows will shoot best with an even tiller which means the distance from the string to the limb is the same on top and bottom. Tiller adjustments are made by adjusting either limb weight adjustment bolt. Example: Too much tiller on the bottom limb, decrease the weight on the top limb or increase the weight on the bottom. Hoyt USA recommends that you initially set tiller equal top and bottom. CENTERSHOT Centershot is the alignment of the arrow in the power path of the string. Release shooters should line the arrow up with the power path of the string. (See fig 10) Finger shooters should position the arrow so that the tip is just to the outside of the power path of the string. (See fig 10) Centershot is critical to how accurate a bow will perform. These are initial centershot settings, for proper alignment Hoyt USA recommends this be done by a qualified Pro Shop. 14 fig 10 Release Setting Fingers Setting FLETCH CLEARANCE Fletch clearance is the ability of your vanes or fletchings to pass cleanly by or through your arrow rest without impacting the rest so severely that the arrows flight path is disrupted. It is necessary that you have adequate vane clearance to achieve proper arrow flight. 11 Incorrect Correct COMPOUND BOW ADJUSTMENT DRAW WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Weight adjustments can easily be made by turning the weight adjustment bolt clockwise to increase weight 15 or counter clockwise to decrease weight.
