[. . . ] CABLE GUARD GLIDE INSTALLATION Hoyt USA uses a specially designed cable glide that has off-set cable slots. To correctly install the glide on all Hoyt models except the Excel Cam, 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. 7 Excel Cam Glide Position Excel Cam model bows, make sure that the longest slot is to the rear and the shorter slot is closest to the grip. (See fig 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 12 press. Hoyt USA recommends that the cable 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 13 Redline cam models must be measured from a reference 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 fig 12 or counter clockwise to decrease weight. Note: Always turn the top and bottom adjustment bolts in equal amounts. Some Hoyt Pocket Locking Screw USA model bows are equipped with a Dual Locking Pocket System. [. . . ] Note: Left handed shooters need to reverse these instructions for left and right results. Hoyt USA recommends that you work closely with your local Pro Shop when tuning your bow to ensure best results. fig 14 fig 15 fig 16 21 fig 17 TUNING WITH BROADHEADS Most archers discover that they must make slight tuning adjustments when switching from practice points to broadheads (even at the same weight). For this reason, slight adjustments may need to be made in nocking point height, rest position or bow weight to achieve desired broadhead flight.
