[. . . ] NOTE: To loosen the thumb screw after shooting, you may use a coin in the screw slot. Tiller Tiller is the difference in draw weight between the upper and lower limbs. This is easily measured by noting the difference in distance between the top limb butt to the string, and the lower limb butt to the string. To set tiller, measure the distance from the base of the limb pockets to the bow string on both the top and bottom bow limbs. The main function of tiller is to allow the archer to more easily and comfortably aim during the draw and release of the shot. When initially putting your bow together, we recommend you begin with 1/8"-1/4" positive tiller. (Bottom measurement 1/8"-1/4" less than top measurement. ) Tiller can then be adjusted to fit each individual. If you find your sight moving up as you are drawing, increase the bottom limb poundage slightly, or decrease the top limb poundage. If the sight is moving down as you draw, make the opposite adjustments. To adjust the tiller without affecting bow Top Tiller Brace Height Bottom Tiller 10 weight, adjust both the top and the bottom weight/tiller adjustment bolts in equal but opposite directions. NOTE: A tiller adjustment will move the nocking point position. Adjusting Brace Height ("Fistmele") Brace height, or "fistmele" is the perpendicular distance from the bowstring to the pivot point of the handle. The following chart gives you the recommended brace height range for your Hoyt recurve bow. The FX Limb has a unique design requiring different brace height and string lengths than traditionally used. Brace Height Range Chart (Standard Limbs) Riser Length Long Limbs Medium Limb Short Limbs 8 - 8 3/4" 20. 5 - 22 cm Short Riser (23") 8 1/2 - 9 1/4" 8 1/4 - 9" 21. 5 - 23. 5 cm 21 - 22. 8 cm Long Riser (25") 8 3/4 - 9 1/2" 8 1/2 - 9 1/4" 8 1/4 - 9" 22 - 24 cm 21. 5 - 23. 5 cm 21 - 22. 8 cm FX Brace Height Range Chart Riser Length Long Limbs Medium Limb Short Limbs Short Riser (23") 8 1/4 - 8 3/4" 8 - 8 1/2" 7 3/4 - 8 1/4" 21 - 22 cm 20. 5 - 21. 5 cm 20 - 21 cm Long Riser (25") 8 1/2 - 9" 8 1/4 - 8 3/4" 8 - 8 1/2" 21. 5 - 22. 8 cm 21 - 22 cm 20. 5 - 21. 5 cm Slight adjustments can be made to the string to adjust brace 11 height. Adding twists will increase the brace height while removing twist will decrease the brace height. If there are no twists in the string at the brace height you want, a longer string will be needed. Generally, Hoyt does not recommend more than 30 or less than five twists in a string. Optimum brace height is one that gives a smooth bow action, good arrow flight, tight grouping and a quiet shot. Choosing the Correct String Length Depending on the length of your riser/limb combination, A. M. O. They only need to be snug to the riser. Adjusting the Hard Lock Pocket System (Axis type system) The Axis type hard lock limb locking system is the most advanced pocket alignment and weight adjustment system available today. It features a positive locking limb alignment system that maintains its settings in all conditions. You can adjust your limb alignment to make it perfectly compatible to the riser simply by removing or adding the supplied brass washers to the alignment dowel. With the bow unstrung and limbs removed from the riser, unscrew the thumb screw and washer completely out of the 14 Riser Axis Hard lock System Locking Screw (Opposite Side of Sight Window) Alignment Washers Alignment Dowel (Sight Window Side) Washer Thumb Screw alignment dowel. Unscrew the alignment locking screw and remove the alignment cap and washers. Pull the alignment dowel and washers out from the sight window side of the pocket. [. . . ] For right handed shooters, if the bare shafts hit to the right of the fletched shafts, increase the spring tension on the cushion plunger or decrease bow weight. Should the bare shafts hit to the left of the fletched arrows, loosen the spring tension or increase bow weight. With each change in spring tension or bow weight, re-adjust the sight before shooting the bare shafts.
