[. . . ] String and Synthetic Cable Maintenance Regularly apply a high quality bowstring wax to your string and synthetic cable system. Regular waxing protects your cables and strings from abrasion, wear and separation. Then, rub it gently with your fingers or a soft piece of leather to work the wax into the strands. Replace frayed or worn bowstrings and cables immediately. ·Bear Archery strongly recommends replacing the bowstring and cable annually. Please visit your local Bear Archery dealer for assistance. BOW ADJUSTMENTS Peak Draw Weight Adjustment Bear Archery bows have a 10 pound peak weight adjustment range. If your bow is equipped with limb bolt lock downs, make sure these screws (small single button head screw attached to riser through "tang" protruding from underneath the limb pocket) are loosened before making any weight adjustments. Using a 7/32" hex wrench, turn the limb bolts clockwise to increase peak weight and counterclockwise to reduce peak weight. Bow weight will increase or decrease approximately two to four pounds per turn. IMPORTANT Both limb bolts must be adjusted equally. Likewise, do not turn one limb bolt more than two turns ahead of the other when making adjustments. Finally, limb bolts must never be backed out more than 3 full turns. Bows with limb bolt lockdowns: After all tuning adjustments have been made; engage the limb bolt lock down screws. Screws should be snug against the limb pocket "tang". 11 12 BOW ADJUSTMENTS CAM ADJUSTMENTS Adjusting Draw Length ­ Perimeter Weighted Modular Single Cam The perimeter weighted single cam has a modular draw length adjustment. Most draw length adjustments can be made without the use of a bow press. Draw length changes are made by simply changing modules and moving the draw stop. Accessory modules are available from your local Bear Archery dealer in one-inch draw length increments. Each module is numbered, with #10 being the longest draw length and #4 being the shortest. To change modules remove the socket head cap screws from the present module, remove that module and replace with a new module. Such module draw length adjustments will not affect peak draw weight. Modules are right and left hand specific. USE ONLY RH changed, the draw stop must also be moved to the corresponding setting marked on the cam. [. . . ] The International Bowhunters Organization (IBO) allows a minimum of five grains arrow weight per pound of peak weight. Arrow weight is the total combined weight of your arrow nock insert, and point or broadhead. To determine the lightest arrow you can safely shoot, use the following format: Peak Draw Weight (Lb) Bear Archery Warranty Statement All Bear Archery compound bows are backed with a Limited Lifetime Warranty to the original owner.
