User manual HOYT COMPOUND-2005

[. . . ] 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. Damaged or suspect limbs should be reported to your local dealer for inspection or replacement. 4. [. . . ] CAUTION: Do not pull bow back without proper installation of cable guard bar and glide. 11 10 fig 6 Control Cable Buss Cable 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 6) 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 8) Finger shooters should position the arrow so that the tip is just to the outside of the power path of 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 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. 14) Example: If you have too much tiller on the bottom limb, decrease the weight on the top limb or increase the weight on the bottom. Hoyt recommends that you initially set tiller equal top and bottom. fig. 7 12 Powerpath Rest Powerpath Rest fig 8 Release Setting Fingers Setting Centershot is critical to how accurately a bow will perform. These are initial centershot settings, for proper alignment Hoyt recommends this be done by a qualified pro shop. Tiller 13 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. (See fig 9) When adjustments are completed, re-tighten the pocket locking screws. DRAW LENGTH ADJUSTMENT (INNER-CAM ADJUSTABLE MODULES) Many Hoyt bows utilize the inner-cam adjustable module for draw length adjustment. The inner-cam can generally be adjusted without the aid of a bow press. CAM & 1/2 DRAW LENGTH ADJUSTMENT TOP CAM: To adjust the draw length on Hoyt's Cam & 1/2 (inner-cam) model bows, use a standard allen key to loosen the fastening screw and to remove the draw length screw. (see fig 11) Rotating the inner-cam in the (+) direction will lengthen the draw. Each lettered position will provide approximately l/2 inch longer/shorter draw than the previous setting. Once the inner-cam TOP CAM fig 11 is in the desired location, reinstall Fastening and tighten the Screw draw length screw Draw first and then the Length fastening screw. 9 Incorrect Correct 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. Before draw weight adjustments are made on these models you must first loosen the pocket lockPocket Locking Screw ing screws located on both sides fig 10 of the pocket.
