[. . . ] Let-down the bow slowly and carefully from any drawn position be prepared for a possible violent letdown. Excessive heat, such as that experienced on a sunny day inside a closed vehicle, could cause limb failure. Prolonged storage in a hot dry attic or damp basement could also be damaging. Carefully note the condition of the bowstring, limbs and riser before you shoot. [. . . ] (See fig 6) Hoyt USA's magnesium bows are designed with a high mount style cable guard bar that is mounted directly to the side of the riser by two 10-24 screws. (See fig 7) Prior to mounting the cable guard bar, you must remove the rubberbands used only for shipping purposes. On some shorter axle to axle models, 10-24 SHCS adjustable cable Screws guard bars can be off-set too much causing the cable to track off the fig 7 cam. To prevent this from happening, NEVER SET THE BAR AT THE THREE O' CLOCK POSITION. CABLE GUARD GLIDE INSTALLATION To prevent your bow's cables from rubbing against each other, Hoyt USA uses a specially designed cable glide that has off-set cable slots. 12 To correctly install the glide on all Hoyt bows, fig 8 first place the glide on the cable guard bar (See fig 8). Control Next, push the control cable Cable into the shorter front slot. CAUTION: Do not pull bow back without proper installation of cable guard bar and Buss Cable glide. TILLER ADJUSTMENT Tiller is the difference in 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 to the string. (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 near 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: If you have too much tiller on the bottom limb, decrease the weight on the top limb or increase 13 the weight on the bottom. Hoyt USA recommends that you initially set tiller equal top and bottom. Tiller Tiller fig. 9 CENTERSHOT Centershot is the alignment of the arrow in the power path of the string. Release shooters should line the arrow up with or just slightly outside of 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) 14 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. Powerpath Rest Powerpath Rest 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 arrow's flight path is disrupted. It is necessary that you have adequate vane clearance to achieve proper arrow flight. 11 Incorrect Correct 15 COMPOUND BOW ADJUSTMENT DRAW WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT Weight adjustments can easily be made by turning the weight adjustment bolt clockwise to increase weight or counter clockwise to decrease weight. Note: Always turn the top and bottom adjustment bolts in equal amounts. Some Hoyt USA model bows are equipped with a Dual Locking Pocket Locking Screw Pocket System.
