Before you can safely and

effectively shoot your bow, a
number of specific initial bow
setup steps must be taken. These
steps can be performed on your
own, if your level of expertise is
adequate. Or, your local archery
dealer can help you.

These are initial setup steps

only. Later, fine tuning (see Basic
Tuning) may be required.

Arrow Rest Selection

Arrow rest selection is best

determined by shooting style.
If you shoot with a mechanical
release, you will be best served
with a “Shoot-Through” type
arrow rest. If you elect to shoot in
the traditional manner with your
fingers, a “Shoot-Around” type
rest will work best for you.

Arrow Rest Installation & Setup

Arrow rests should be

installed according to manu-
facturer specifications. Then,
the rest should be adjusted for
proper, initial “Centershot” posi-
tion. This initial rest position
setup is quite different, depend-
ing on whether you have elected
to shoot with fingers or with a
mechanical release. See the fol-
lowing drawings to determine
which is initially correct for you.
