Hoyt TARGET COMPOUND Owner's Manual page 9

arrow will be at a right angle to the bow string plus or
minus 3/16" (see Photo D). Never use a brass or other
metal clamp-on nocking point device with your Hoyt
bow. Only use a high quality archery serving material
for installing a "tied-on" nocking point (see Photo E
for an example of a "tied-on" nocking point). Only use
a high quality archery D-Loop material for installing
a D-Loop (see Photo E for an example of a D-Loop).
Ensure that the "D-Loop" or "tied-on" nocking point is
securely attached to the bow string and cannot move
on the string or come off of the string during shooting.
OTHER STRING ACCESSORIES
Other string accessories such as peep sights,
string silencers, kisser buttons or any other devices
attached to the bow string or cables of your bow
must be installed in such a way that they cannot
move or come off of the bow string or cables during shooting. Hoyt recommends
that only a Genuine Hoyt Retailer install and set-up any string accessories on
your Hoyt bow.

SETUP, TUNING,
& MAINTENANCE
ACCESSORY SELECTION
Hoyt Archery manufactures a broad selection of archery gear and accessories.
Your Genuine Hoyt Retailer can help you choose, install and tune the proper
gear and accessories for your style of shooting. Do not modify your bow to
accommodate an accessory that is not meant for your bow.
DRAW LENGTH
Draw length is determined by many variables. Your Genuine Hoyt Retailer is
trained in properly fitting the bow to your size and style of shooting. Hoyt
offers two basic types of adjustable cams to fit archers needs; rotating inner-
cam module cams and exchangeable module cams. Draw length is measured
in inches using the ATA (Archery Trade Association) standard method. Measure
from the deepest part of the grip or to the center of the Berger Button (rest
mounting hole) plus 1 3/4". See page 9 for detailed instructions on adjusting
your bow's draw length.

DRAW WEIGHT
Weight adjustments can easily be made by turning the weight adjustment bolt
D-Loop
clockwise to increase weight or counter clock-wise to decrease weight. To
ensure your tiller stays equal always turn the top and bottom adjustment bolts
in equal amounts. Hoyt bows are capable of being reduced to 10 pounds lower
than the peak weight. For example, a Hoyt bow with a 60 lb. max weight can
be adjusted to as low as 50 lbs. Do not let out or loosen your limb bolts more
Nock point
than 8 turns. Doing so may cause limbs to pop out during adjustment or while

shooting, causing serious injury to you or a bystander. Bows adjusted to their
peak weight may draw up to four pounds heavier than the labeled max weight.
Note: It is not necessary to loosen the dowel screws to adjust the
weight on any Hoyt bow. It is not necessary to lower the draw weight
for storage purposes. It is normal for grease to be present on the
pocket and rocker area of the bow.
