Limb Bolts Male / Female Groves STRING NOCK BOW STRING UPPER LIMB ATTACHING THE BOW STRING • Check the loops on both ends of the string. One loop should be larger than the other. • Slide the larger loop over the upper limb past the string nock and affix the smaller loop onto the lower limb string nock. • Flex the upper limb or use a bow stringer to slide the top loop towards the upper limb string nock. • Check to make sure that the loops are secured to the string nocks. • Tighten the limb bolts with an allen key.

Sight Mount NOCK Sight Mount Screws 7 SIGHT CALIBRATION • You will need to go to an archery range to calibrate your sight. • Group your shots in sets of 5 arrows. Start at a short distance from the target. Note the distance from where you are shooting from and adjust for elevation and wind until you are comfortable at that distance. • Note the setting on your sight. • Move farther away from the target, note the distance from the target and do the same for that distance. 6 ATTACHING THE PEEP SIGHT • The way to determine at what point on the string to place your peep sight is this: draw the bow at full, look down through the site and have someone mark the point on the string where your looking from. • Once you are sure where to place the peep sight, place the bow on the press to slack the string. Loosen the threads where you have your mark and divide the threads evenly. • Insert the peep sight in between the threads and knot separate threads on the string at both ends of the sight to keep it in place.
