•Setting The Nitrous Cam Timing
Wheel timing on a two cam bow makes sure that
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 and 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 perform
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 adjust 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 cams 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 it really 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.
•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.
•Converting To The X-Shoot Through System
The Nitrous-X system eliminates the cable guard and the pressures it creates.
Converting your Nitrous System to the X Shoot-Through System is very easy. All you need
to do is order a conversion kit from your dealer and it will come with X-Modules, cables, long
mod screws, and long axles. Your dealer can easily add the second module to the top and
bottom and then slide in the long axles with the use of a bow press. Install the four cables
and presto! You have a Nitrous-X system.
Cam Systems - Nitrous & Nitrous-X Cam
Twist/Tighten this
cable, either from
its loop end or its
split yoke (located
at the opposite
end of the bow.)
Both cable
stops are
touching in
unison. It is
perfect.
The top cable
stop is coming to
rest before the
bottom. Put a twist
in the cable that is
connected to the
top cam.
Standard Modules
These use two mounting
screws. The X module is
noted with an X on the
tail. The (T) on the tail
of the mod notes that
it will fit on the top cam
The (B) module goes on
the Bottom. Note: Left
handed shooters are
opposite.

Mini Modules
Mini modules use one
mounting screw and will give
you an additional two inch
reduction of draw length.
If you are in the last two
settings on the Standard
Mod, the Mini will give you
more draw adjustment and
better performance in the
shorter draw lengths.
