The limb weight/tiller adjustment bolt is used to adjust bow weight and limb balance (tiller). Standard Hoyt Dovetail Weight The weight on most Hoyt bows is adjustable in a range of approximately 10%. If you are using the traditional detent system, adjust weight by loosening the weight/tiller locking screw. Do this by using one of the allen wrenches provided to hold the weight/tiller adjustment bolt in place, and the other wrench to loosen the weight/tiller locking screw. Once the locking screw is loose, you can Warning: Do not adjust weight on any adjust the weight/tiller adjustable bow beyond the limit shown in the drawing above. The weight/tiller bolt adjustment bolt to the should never go above flush with the riser. Turning the weight/tiller adjustment bolt clockwise will increase bow weight. 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. recommends the following string lengths. String length is approximately three inches shorter than the bow length.

This allows archers to more easily determine centershot, but has little effect on shootability. The limb pockets are set at the factory and should therefore be very close if not exact. Need for adjustment should be very minor, if at all. If the pocket needs some adjusting, first string the riser and limbs only. Check the limb alignment of both the top and bottom limbs by viewing down the bowstring from end to end on the face of the bow. While looking down the string line, check the location of the tip you are holding to the face of the limb in your hand. The limb tip should be reasonably close to the center of the limb. Condition A Need to adjust limb tip to the right. Condition B Need to adjust limb tip to the left. Adjusting Your Avalon Plus Adjusting a Limb Tip to the Right: (Condition A) Viewing from the rear or bowstring side (the face), loosen the Lock Down Screw, then loosen the right Pocket Adjustment Screw by turning it counter-clockwise and tighten the opposite (left) Pocket Adjustment Screw by turning it clockwise. Make adjustments in small increments (1/8 to 1/4 turn at a time).
