Disregarding these rules may cause serious injury to yourself, others, 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. [. . . ] A finger shooter should initially position the nock set at approximately 3/16" above level. The release shooter should position the nock set so that the arrow sits at a 90 degree angle with the string and adjust height as needed. (See fig 5) Once the nock set is at the desired location use a special set 10 of nocking pliers to crimp the nock set into place. NEVER shoot a bow without a nock set or with a nock set that has not been properly crimped. For proper installation Hoyt USA recommends that this be done by a qualified pro shop. Nocking Point Height fig 5 CABLE GUARD INSTALLATION All Hoyt USA bows are designed with a built in cable guard bar attachment. Before mounting the cable guard bar, you must remove the rubberbands used only for shipping purposes. To insert the cable guard bar, simply slide the bar through the two mounting holes on the riser making sure that the bar is pushed completely through and flush with the end of the front mounting hole. Screws Flush w/Front of Riser fig 6 11 After the bar has been inserted fasten with the 1/4-20 x 1/2" set screws provided. (See fig 6) 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 fig 7 off-set cable slots. To correctly install the glide on all Hoyt Control bows, first place the glide on Cable the cable guard bar. Cable CAUTION: Do not pull bow back without proper installation of cable guard bar and 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 8) 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 12 near even tiller which means the distance from the string to the limb is the same on top and botTiller tom. Tiller adjustments are made by adjusting either limb weight adjustment bolt. 15) Example: If you have too much tiller on the bottom limb, decrease the weight on Tiller the top limb or increase the weight on the bottom. 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 9) Finger shooters should position the arrow so that the tip is just to the outside of the power path of the string. (See fig 9) 13 Powerpath Rest Powerpath Rest fig 9 Release Setting Fingers Setting Centershot is critical to how accurately a bow will perform. These are initial centershot settings, for proper alignment Hoyt USA recommends this be done by a qualified pro shop. 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. 10 Incorrect Correct 14 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. [. . . ] 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 same return freight of the repaired product. Before any bow is returned a Return Authorization number must be obtained through an authorized Hoyt USA pro shop. Bows returned to the factory without a Return Authorization number will be sent back. Write the RA number on the outside of the shipping box and send the Hoyt USA bow requiring factory service to: Hoyt USA 543 N. [. . . ]
