[. . . ] Hoyt re c o mmends 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 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) 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. 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. When viewing the module side of the top cam, at least part of the control cable should lie over the re f e rence hole (see fig13). When viewing the module side of the bottom cam, at least part of the buss 16 TOP CAM Reference Hole Reference Hole Buss Cable Yoke Bowstring Control Cable fig 13 cable should lie over the reference hole as shown in fig 14. It is not necessary to have the cables c e n t e red over the re f e rence holes. Due to various limb configurations, some 2005 and later models are optimized with the cables slightly off the re f e rence holes. In these cases, mark the cable locations on the cam (as shipped f rom the facControl Buss Bowstring tory) with Cable Cable permanent ink. The factory tune is always optimized for perBOTTOM fig 14 formance. CAM 17 Zephyr Cam & 1/2 Hoyt's Zephyr Cam & 1/2 is a high performance draw length specific cam system. Both top and bottom cams must be swapped out to change the bow's let-off. Adjustable Valley Technology (AVT) The Zephyr Cam & 1/2 features AVT, which allows the shooter to customize how the cam feels at full draw. Without the peg the back wall is softest and the cam will have the longest valley. With the draw stop installed in the furthest outboard position the cam will feature a long valley and a hard wall. In the inboard peg position the cam has a hard wall and a shorter valley. The draw length and let-off are essentially the same with or without the AVT draw-stop peg installed.

The limb should lie somewhere between the lines when the bottom cam is viewed from the logo side at brace. This is by design since each individual cam/limb combination is factory optimized for performance and draw length.
