[. . . ] Be sure to lock down the weight/tiller locking screw before shooting the bow. Tiller Tiller is the difference in draw weight between the upper and lower limbs. This is easily measured by noting the difference Warning: Do not adjust weight on any adjustable bow beyond the limit shown in in distance between the the drawing above. The weight/tiller bolt top limb butt to the should never go above flush with the riser. string, and the lower There must be at least six threads of engagelimb butt ment between the riser and weight tiller bolt. To set tiller, measure the distance from Top Tiller 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. When initially putting your bow together, we recommend you begin with Brace 0-1/8" positive tiller. (Bottom measureHeight ment 0-1/8" 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 Bottom limb poundage. If the sight is moving Tiller down as you draw, make the opposite adjustments. To adjust the tiller without affecting bow weight, adjust both the top and 6 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. Brace Height Range Chart (Standard Limbs) Riser Length Long Limbs Medium Limbs 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 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. Generally, Hoyt does not recommend less than 10 twists in a string. Optimum brace height is one that gives a smooth bow action, good arrow flight, tight grouping and often yields the quietest shot. Choosing the Correct String Length Depending on the length of your riser/limb combination, you can use the following string lengths as a guideline. String length is approximately three inches shorter than the bow length.
