User manual HOYT COMPOUND-2000

[. . . ] Carefully note the condition of the bowstring, limbs and riser before you shoot. Damaged or suspect limbs should be reported to your local dealer for inspection or replacement. 4 4. Make sure that the backstop you use is large enough to catch a stray arrow and that it is thick enough that the arrow cannot completely penetrate it. Make sure that it is positioned in a safe direction away from dwellings and other people. [. . . ] On some shorter axle to axle models adjustable cable guard bars can be off-set too much causing the cable to track off the cam. To prevent this from happening NEVER SET THE BAR AT THE THREE O' CLOCK POSISTION. CABLE GUARD INSTALLATION (TWO CAM MODELS) Hoyt USA uses a specially designed cable glide that has off-set cable slots. To correctly install the glide on two cam model bows make sure that when the cables are inserted into the glide the shorter slot is closer to the grip and the longer slot is closer to the end of the cable guard bar. (See fig 8) Note: On bows with high mount bars installation may be opposite of above. CABLE GLIDE INSTALLATION (SINGLE CAM MODELS) On single cam models install the glide opposite from the two cam method so that the longer slot is closer to the grip and the shorter slot is closer to the end of the cable guard bar. (See fig 8) This will ensure that contact is minimized between cables at the point where they cross. 12 One Cam Installation Two Cam Installation fig 8 (One Cam and Two Cam Glide Installation) The glide is then inserted over the cable guard bar so that the cables are on the inside of the bar. 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 this be done by a qualified Pro Shop as a bow press may be required. 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. (See fig 9) Single cam models must be measured from a reference line from axle to axle. (See fig 10) 13 fig 9 (Two Cam Tiller) fig 10 (One Cam Tiller) 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 (see next page). Example: Too much tiller on the bottom limb, decrease the weight on the top limb or increase the weight on the 14 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 11) Finger shooters should position the arrow so that the tip is just to the outside of the power path of the string. (See fig 11) Centershot is critical in 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. fig 11 Release Setting Fingers Setting FLETCH CLEARANCE Fletch clearance is the ability of your vanes or fletches to pass cleanly by or through your 15 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. [. . . ] WARRANTY SERVICE To obtain warranty service, you should return to the Pro Shop where you purchased your Hoyt USA bow. The dealer can help to determine if Hoyt USA factory service is required or if the repair can be completed by the Pro Shop. If the bow must be returned to the factory, the bow owner is responsible for the return freight to Hoyt USA. Hoyt USA, in turn, will pay for the return freight of the repaired product. [. . . ]
