BOWTECH reserves the right to substitute any parts required for warranty coverage at its sole discretion.

Tuning and Proper Fit It is very important that your bow is adjusted to fit you properly. Assistance in achieving proper fit should be provided by your Authorized Bowtech Dealer. The draw length of all current Bowtech bows can be adjusted without draw length specific modules. The Rotating Mod System makes this feature possible. By simply rotating the module clockwise or counterclockwise, your draw length can be adjusted in 1/2 inch increments. CHANGING DRAW LENGTH Refer to Figure 1 and Chart 1 1. You will need to press your bow, in some settings, to adjust the draw length on bows with the OverDrive Binary Cam System. Bowtech recommends that you only use a limb tip press to service your bow and that you take your bow to your Authorized Bowtech Dealer for adjustment of your bow s draw length. 2. Once the bow is in the press and the tension on the string and cables has been relieved, use a 7/64 inch hex wrench to remove the module screws that attach the modules to the cams. 8. After repositioning the module, you will need to reposition the draw stop posts. To do this, use a 5/64 inch hex wrench to remove the post from its current position. 9. Replace the post in the position that matches (in most cases) the numbered slot that you placed the module indexing post in. For example, if the module was placed in the #7 position, the draw stop post should also be placed in the #7 position. Refer to Chart 1 for post settings. 3. Notice the indexing mark on the module and the numbered slots in the cam. The lowest numbered slot corresponds to the longest draw length setting. 4. To lengthen the draw length, rotate the module so that the indexing post is placed in a lower numbered reference on the.. 5. To shorten the draw length, rotate the module so that the indexing post is placed in a higher numbered reference on the. Referencing Marks Type (X31 and X30 engraving denotes module type) 6. Replace both module screws on each cam and retighten. We recommend applying blue Loctite 242 to the threads before replacing them at your desired setting. This will prevent the screws from loosening during normal use of the bow. Indexing Mark 7. Ensure all strings and cables are in their appropriate grooves and remove the bow from the press.

Your is featured on Bowtech s Overdrive Binary cams, this means that any adjustment made to one cam needs to be mirrored on the opposite cam. Ensure that both Discs are set to the same setting before drawing your bow. Caution - Bowtech strongly recommends the use of blue removable Loctite on all and module screws on cams featuring PowerShift Technology. Settings 1 ST, 2 ND, 3 RD 3. For the Performance Setting shift the to 1st. For the Classic Setting shift the to 2nd. For the Comfort Setting shift the to 3rd. 4. Once you have shifted the to your desired setting, first replace the screw labeled A into the position indicated and tighten completely. Once screw A is secure, tighten screws B and C. 5. It is recommended that all screws are torqued between 20 and 23 in-lbs in conjunction with Blue Loctite 242 once the desired setting has been determined. Screw A Figure 2: Adjustment Screw C Screw B introducing the Micro sync dial The all new BowTech BT-X comes with the latest technologies for consumer adjustability and customization. Developed within BowTech s PowerShift Technologies is the patent pending addition of the Micro Sync Dial. Adjustments made with the Micro Sync Dial will allow the end user the ability to fine tune the cam synchronization in small finite increments without the need for a bow press. The intended use is specific to achieving full contact of both the top and bottom draw stop posts with the cables at full draw. To make an adjustment, simply loosen the attachment 6-32 SHCS using a 7/64 allen wrench and then rotate the Dial and re-tighten the screw. The reference numbers on the cam correspond to different values of engagement of the Dial. The Dial on the cam opposite to the cam having late contact to the draw stop post is where the adjustment is to be made. All of this is done without the need of a bow press. Consult your Authorized BowTech Dealer for additional information on use of the Micro Sync Dial. Reference Numbers Micro Sync Dial

SETTING THE DRAW WEIGHT Consult your local Authorized Bowtech Dealer for information regarding weight adjustment for your bow model. All bows perform best at peak weight. Draw weight can be adjusted by using a hex wrench to either tighten or loosen the limb bolt. The specific method for adjusting draw length varies by model as described below. WARNING: DO NOT TURN THE LIMB BOLTS OUT MORE THAN THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT. Doing so could cause the limbs to break out of their pockets and result in bodily injury. Figure 4: Draw Weight Adjustment Limb Bolt Limb Bolt Inspection Hole Draw weight on the BT-X can be adjusted 10 pounds down from the bow s peak draw weight. For example, if the bow is shipped as a 60 pound model, the draw weight can be adjusted down to 50 pounds. The procedure is as follows (see figure 4): Using a ¼ inch hex wrench tighten or loosen the limb bolt to increase or decrease draw weight. One full turn equals approximately 1 pound. You may use the limb bolt inspection hole for a reference when backing out the limb bolt. DO NOT back out the limb bolt beyond the limb bolt inspection hole. The top and bottom limb bolts should be tightened and loosened equally. ADJUSTING THE STRING STOP To increase the effectiveness of your string stop Set Screw dampener you want it to maintain contact with the string at rest. If you have backed down the draw weight to set your draw to your comfort level you may need to adjust your string stop as your brace Figure 3: Adjusting the string stop height may have increased. To do this, loosen the side set screw on the riser as shown (Figure 3) with a 1/8 hex wrench. Pull out the string stop until it makes contact again with the string. Verify that the string stop is oriented correctly and retighten the side set screw. SETTING CENTER SHOT Measure Here Measure Here Figure 5: Determining Center Shot Center shot can be set by measuring from the back of the riser to the arrow and then from the front of the riser to the arrow. Once this is equal, you are at the approximate center shot of your bow (see Figure 5). This is a good starting point when tuning your Bowtech bow. Keep in mind, not all bows tune at exact center shot due to the variances in arrow spine, hand position, and your specific bow poundage. Adjust your arrow rest until the two measurements are equal. TIMING THE CAMS There are small indentations or timing dots on the moduleside of the cam near its perimeter. When viewing the bow directly from the module side of the cam, the cable should be approximately centered in between the timing dots as shown in Figure 6. Adjusting the timing requires that the bow be put in a press, and as such, your Authorized Bowtech Dealer should perform all timing adjustments. Cable Centered Between Dots Figure 6: Cam Timing

BOW MAINTENANCE Your Bowtech bow was made with the highest quality components to last for a lifetime of use in the field with proper maintenance. It is important that you NEVER draw and release a bow without an arrow on the string. This could not only hurt you, but can damage your bow. If the bow is dry fired at any time, take it to your local dealer for a complete inspection. NEVER leave your Bowtech bow in an area of extreme temperatures. This could cause your string and cables to stretch which effects timing. Before shooting your bow, ALWAYS inspect the string and cables and check the limbs for any visible damage. If damage is found, take the bow to your local Bowtech dealer for inspection or repair. Your Bowtech bow comes equipped with sealed bearings in STRINGS & CABLES both cams. There is no need to lubricate cams. Your Bowtech bowstring is manufactured to provide long string life and absolute consistency, shot after shot. This results in greater accuracy and less time spent re-tuning your equipment. It is recommended that you cycle the bow 10-20 times to settle the string as a result of relaxation during packaging and shipping. Wax the string often. We recommend BCYML 6 synthetic string wax or an equivalent product. To wax the string, apply wax liberally to entire length of string. Rub briskly with fingers until the string appears slick. Remove all excess wax with a clean cloth. We recommend that you wax every other time you shoot your bow to lengthen the life of your string and cable sets. GENERAL INFORMATION Your new Bowtech bow is a highly tuned, precise shooting machine. It requires special care and handling to achieve and maintain peak performance. The string, cables and limbs are under extreme tension, which creates an incredible source of energy that must not be taken for granted. Please respect this power and use it properly. Bowtech bows are standardized to fit most manufacturers accessories and will perform best when shot with a release. ADULT SUPERVISION OF ALL CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 IS REQUIRED Bowtech has designed your bow to be a safe and fun product. However, as with any shooting style product, safety rules must be observed. It is HIGHLY recommended that these rules be read before using any bow. Bows and arrows are NOT toys. For maximum safety and enjoyment, always exercise caution and common sense when shooting any bow. WARNING: NEVER DRY FIRE THE BOW NEVER draw a bow without an arrow nocked. Doing so could cause personal injury and/or damage the bow. When drawing a bow for inspection or demonstration, never release the string at full draw to let down. Hold onto the string and do not let it slip out of your hands. Without the resistance of a properly weighted arrow to absorb the energy, you may damage the bow and cause personal injury to yourself and/or others. ALWAYS wear safety glasses when operating or adjusting your bow. ALWAYS use an appropriate backstop for maximum safety. An appropriate backstop must be constructed of a durable material and must extend beyond the perimeter of the target. The recommended backstop size is determined by the accuracy and ability of the shooter. With a low level of shooter accuracy, the backstop perimeter requirement must be increased appropriately. NEVER aim or draw any bow in the direction of a person. Aim and draw ONLY in the direction of an appropriate target. ALWAYS have a full view of the path to and beyond the target when shooting. ALWAYS check all arrow components prior to shooting, including nock, insert and tip. Loose components can cause unbalanced arrow flight and partial dry firing of the bow. If an arrow has been damaged, or if you believe it has been damaged, do not shoot it again, as it could break on release, and sharp arrow pieces could strike and injure you or someone nearby. NEVER retrieve arrows or allow anyone else to do so until all arrows have been shot. NEVER draw the bow without properly adjusted limb bolts (see Adjusting Draw Weight section for more information). Make sure the string and cables are properly attached to the correct post and in the correct tracks in order to avoid possible injury. DO NOT attach anything to the cables or string that could create excessive wear or slice the string material. This will void the warranty. DO NOT cross cables in any configuration other than the configuration set by the factory. This will have an adverse effect on the performance and shootability of your bow. Further, it may cause extreme wear to the string, cable, and cable-slide/roller guard. Any alteration from the factory specifications or the adjustments outlined herein will void the factory warranty. ALL maintenance must be performed at an Authorized Bowtech Dealer. We encourage you to contact and utilize your local dealer as they can assist you with setting up your bow, tuning, purchases, services and accessories.
