[. . . ] Then simply tighten the weight/tiller locking screw, alignThumb Screw ment locking screw and thumb screw finger tight, and you are ready to shoot. WARNING: ALWAYS loosen the thumb screw and alignment locking screw when adjusting weight or tiller on the Axis riser. Failure to comply will cause damage to the pocket. 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 0-1/8" positive tiller. (Bottom measurement 0-1/8" less than top measurement. ) Top Tiller Brace Height Bottom Tiller 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 10 you draw, make the opposite adjustments. To adjust the tiller without affecting bow 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. This height is an important aspect of tuning. 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 Long Limbs Medium Limb Short Limbs Riser Length 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 11 Slight adjustments can be made to the string to adjust brace 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. Be sure to tighten the lock down screw before shooting. After each adjustment, draw the bow a couple of times to allow the string to seat before checking again. 13 Adjusting a Limb Tip to the Left: (Condition B) Viewing from the bowstring side (the riser face), loosen the lock down screw, then loosen Loosen the left pocket adjustment screw by turning it counter-clockwise and Lock Down Tighten Screw tighten the opposite (right) pocket adjustment screw by turning in clockwise. After each adjustment, draw the bow a couple of times to allow the string to seat before checking again.
