Adjusting the TRG
To function properly, the cables running thru the TRG
should travel freely all the way to full draw without
long-term contact with the end of the cable slot. With
some longer draw lengths, the cable may reach the
end of the slot before the archer reaches full draw,
allowing the cable to rub against the end of the slot.
When this occurs, a small adjustment can be made to
extend the TRG rod out from the riser. First, pull the
cables off of the TRG and around to the sight window
side of the unit. Next, loosen the two Allen screws
securing the rod to the riser and slide the rod
outward. A very small adjustment is all that is required.
(Both screws should remain in full contact with the rod
when re-secured.) Tighten the screws and reinstall the
cables to their slots on the TRG.

Basic Setup
Installing and Adjusting the Draw Stop.
There are a total of four parts to the Draw Stop
assembly. A rubber cap, the aluminum body of the Draw
Stop, an 8/32 screw and an 8/32 hex nut. To install the stop,
place the hex nut in the track on the back side of the cam.
To adjust the stop, draw the bow back either by hand or in a
scale/shooting machine. At full draw, slide the stop until it
contacts the under side of the limb. Back the
stop off of the limb 1/32” (appox.) to allow for the
rubber cap to be installed. Snug down the Draw Stop
with the appropriate Hex head wrench, and install the
rubber cap over the Draw Stop.
Note: Some versions of the Acu-Trak and C.A.T. cams have numbered draw
stop tracks which have no correlation to the draw module number or draw module
position numbers.
Installing and Adjusting the STS
Most Martin bows are outfitted with an STS String Dampening unit, or are equipped to
accept one. This unit is installed in the 3/8” diameter hole located just below the grip and
is secured in place with the set screw intersecting this hole from the side of the riser. The
STS rod should be positioned so that the STS Bumper is nearly against the bowstring when
the bow is at rest. Excessive contact with the bowstring will prevent the STS Bumper from
performing effectively as a dampener, and may cause the Bumper to be pulled off by the
bowstring during the shot. A small gap (approximately 1/16”) should be allowed between the
bowstring and Bumper when the bow is at rest.
