NockiNg PoiNt PlacemeNt:
Finger shooters: Install the nocking point so that the

arrow passes the center of the arrowrest mounting hole

and runs slightly point-down relative to the tuning mark

on the window of the bow.
Release Aid shooters: Install the nocking point so that the

arrow passes the center of the arrowrest mounting hole

and runs parallel to the alignment mark on the window

of the bow.

NOTE: Alignment marks are for reference

only. Adjustments will likely be necessary

to nocking point and in/out position

during tuning

arrowrest adjustmeNt:
When shooting with a release aid, the in/out position

of the arrowrest should be adjusted so that the

arrow runs parallel with the tuning mark on the

shelf when viewed from above. When shooting

with fingers the arrow should point slightly
outside the tuning mark on the shelf.

sight adjustmeNt:
When adjusting the sight pin locations, always

remember to “follow the group”. That is, if the

shot group is to the left of the target, move the

sight pins to the left. If the shot group is low,

move the sight pins down.

cable guard adjustmeNt
aNd iNstallatioN:
Install the cable guard as shown in Figure A.

Adjust the cable guard so the cables just clear

the arrow vanes. On bows using an offset

cable guard rod, adjustments must be done

with the rod in the up position (approximately

2 o’clock) as shown in Figure B (10 o’clock

for left handed bows). Over-rotating an

adjustable cable guard creates excessive

arrow clearance and may cause the cable

to track incorrectly on the wheels and cause

personal injury and/or damage to the bow.
