Martin Archery Martin Compound Bow - Manual (Page 10)

Both cable stops
are touching in unison.
It is perfect.
The top cable stop is
coming to rest before
the bottom. The top is
out of time with the
bottom. Put a twist in
the cable that is con-
nected to the top cam.
SETTING THE CAM TIMING
Wheel timing on a two cam bow makes sure the nock travel through the shot is
straight and level. It is important that your bow is timed well for greatest accuracy.
Setting the timing is very easy, and you will be able to go through this step by step to
set your timing like a pro. First, you will need to draw your bow back to full draw with
your release and an arrow.
As you begin to reach full
draw, slow down and watch
the cable stops roll over to
the cable as seen to the left.
You can have a friend check
or you can see it yourself.
It is also helpful to per-
form this test with the bow
backed off a few turns. This
will make it easier to hold
while you are checking the
cable stops. If your cams
look like the ones to the
far left, they are perfectly
timed. If one touches before
the other, as seen on the
right, you will need to twist
or TIGHTEN the cable that
is connected to the cam
that stops first. Relax the
bow in a bowpress before
attempting to make any
adjustments. You can ad-
just the cam's rotation using
two methods; follow that
cam's cable to its split yoke
and make adjustments there
by removing and twisting
the yoke, or disconnect the cable from its peg on the cam and twist. This will change
the cam's rotation a little to get it in sync with the other. Only twist one or two twists at
a time. A little twisting goes a long way. Once you get rotation close, you can put a half
twist in the cable to get it perfect if needed. Try not to over complicate this procedure;
it is as simple as it sounds.

Twist or TIGHTEN
this cable, either from
its loop end or its split
yoke (located at the
opposite end of the
bow.)
USING NITROUS MINI-MODULES
In some cases your draw length will be at the shortest end of the cam's draw length
adjustment range. Using a Mini Module will give you two more inches down on any
of the Nitrous Cam bodies, and it will give you better performance in the short draw
lengths. See your local dealer for a set of Mini Modules if you are in the last two draw
length settings. The Mini Module will give you more draw length flexibility.
