[. . . ] The release shooter should position the nock set 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 of nocking pli10 ers 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 aluminum 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 Screws Flush w/Front of Riser fig 6 11 mounting hole. After the bar has been inserted fasten with the 1/4-20 x 1/2" set screws provided. (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. This can cause damage to the bow or personal injury. 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. Then, push the buss cable into the longer rear 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. [. . . ] For this reason, slight adjustments may need to be made in nocking point height, rest position or bow weight to achieve desired broadhead flight. Always test shoot broadheads before hunting. Even expandable broadheads may require different sight settings than field points. Hoyt USA recommends working closely with your local Pro Shop when tuning your bow to ensure best results. 21 HOYT USA COMPOUND BOW WARRANTY All Hoyt USA compound bows are warranted against defects in materials or workmanship to the original owner on all risers, limbs, limb pockets, and eccentrics for the life of the product.
