measurement from the Berger Button hole to the center of the arrow shaft
should be between 1" and 5/8" for an acceptable starting point.
This is accomplished by adjusting the arrow rest left or right. This is only a
starting point, fine tuning adjustments may be needed to the centershot (see
Photo F).
NOCK POINT LOCATION
Your setup and style of shooting (arrow type, fingers or release aid, arrow rest,
etc.) will determine the type and location of the nocking point. A good start-
ing point is to adjust the nock point so the arrow and string make a 90-degree
angle. This is only a starting point. Fine tuning adjustments to the nocking
point may be needed. Hoyt does not recommend the use of brass or other metal
clamp-on nocking point devices. Only a qualified archery pro shop should
install string components.
FINE TUNING
Bow tuning is very individual and there are many factors to consider such as
accessory selection, arrow selection, shooting form, hand pressure, face-to-
string contact, etc. Therefore, your Genuine Hoyt Retailer is the best resource
for fine tuning your bow. There are many effective methods for tuning your whole
set-up. A Genuine Hoyt Retailer will be able to help you from start to finish with
the entire tuning process.
BOW MAINTENANCE
Your bow is a mechanical device and as such, is subject to wear and need of
periodic inspection, adjustment and service. Hoyt recommends that you take
your bow to a Genuine Hoyt Retailer at least once a year for a professional
maintenance, cleaning and inspection. Areas to be inspected are axles, spac-
ers, e-clips, strings, cables, limbs, cams, pockets, pocket rockers and slides,
and riser.
Note: It is normal for grease to be present on the pocket and rocker
area of the bow.
STRINGS AND CABLES
Apply a light coat of bowstring wax to your bow's cables and string on a regular
basis. Hoyt suggests once every two weeks during peak use. Use a high quality
bowstring wax available at your local Genuine Hoyt Retailer. This will keep
your bow's strings and cables in good condition. To ensure best results, replace
your string and cables when wear is evident or every two years under normal
use conditions. Insist that WireWRX Custom Strings and Cables be used on your
bow. All Hoyt bow models come equipped with the WireWRX Custom String
System. Always replace your strings with WireWRX strings. Beware of lesser
quality strings and cables, as they may alter the performance of your bow or
cause damage to it, possibly voiding the warranty. Never expose your string
and cables to extended periods of extreme heat or prolonged moisture. Only a
Genuine Hoyt Retailer should install string components. A bow should not be
drawn or shot without the string components properly installed and secured.
(For example: Peep sight, kisser button, nock point, D-loop, string silencers,
etc.) Improper installations of string components are a potential safety hazard.
Hoyt does not recommend the use of brass or other metal clamp-on nocking
point devices.
STEALTHSHOT™ STRING SUPPRESSOR
StealthShot is a highly effective noise and vibration damp-
ening system. For optimum performance, make sure the
StealthShot's rubber damper is just touching the string at
brace height (no pressure) — rod length will need to be
adjusted after weight adjustment. By loosening the screw
on the damper, you can rotate it so the string lies in the
center.
Note: Once the adjustable cable guard bar is moved in from the 0
setting, the stealth shot string supressor must be removed.
BOW GRIPS
Your Hoyt bow grip is attached using socket head screws that may be removed
for personal preference and replaced with a different angled grip (see includ-
ed grip kit). Screws may be removed using a standard 7/64 Allen key. See
Authorized Hoyt Dealer for details.
PAINT AND FINISH
The paint and finish on your bow requires very little maintenance. A few simple
actions can help keep your bow looking new. Keep it clean by removing mud,
dust and other contaminants from the finish by using a damp cloth. After use
during wet conditions, towel-dry your bow to prevent water damage. (Do not use
a heat source to dry your bow.) Do not use chemicals, solvents or products such
as bug repellents that may harm your bow's finish. Any damage to the paint and
