SETTING UP YOUR BOW

Nocking Point Placement: Finger shooters: For the initial setting, install the nocking point on the bowstring approximately 5/16” plus the arrow width above a point where a horizontal line from the rest intersects the string.

Release Aid Shooters: Install the nocking point the width of the arrow above a point where a horizontal line from the rest intersects the string. When the arrow is in position on the rest, the arrow nock should fit snug against the bottom of the nocking point.

Arrowrest Adjustment: The in/out position of the arrowrest should be adjusted so that the arrow is in alignment with the string when shooting with a release aid. The arrow tip should be one-half shaft diameter to a full shaft to the left on a right- handed bow, (opposite for left-handed) when shooting with fingers.

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: The purpose of a cable guard is to hold the cables out of the path of the arrow. Many Browning Archery bows have a non-adjustable cable guard. When adjusting the angle of an adjustable cable guard, adjust it so the cables just clear the arrow vanes. Excessive arrow clearance may cause the cables to track incorrectly on the wheels and cause serious personal injury and/or damage to the bow. Always adjust the cable guard with the rod in the up position (approximately 1 o'clock for a right-handed bow).

Cam-Lock™Cable Guard Instructions:

1.Insert cable guard into riser as shown.

2.Insert socket head cap screw and unthreaded half of clamp (A) into hole on the

	sight window side of riser (align quarter round cut out with cable guard).	A

3.	Insert threaded half of clamp (B) into opposite side of riser (align quarter round
	cut-out with cable guard rod) and thread cap screw, but do not tighten.	B
4.	Rotate cable guard rod (as shown) to achieve clearance. Then
	tighten cap screw.

Please note the rod should be adjusted only as far as needed to achieve clearance (cable should line up with back edge of riser - as shown).
