LIMB MAINTENANCE

Hoyt limbs are very low maintenance. However, a few simple 

steps can help keep them looking new and prevent minor 

problems. The most common limb issue is loose hardware. 

Over time, the stainless-steel button head screw holding 

the limb detent system in the limb can loosen. Use an Allen 

wrench to periodically re-tighten this screw. Do not over-tight-

en. The screw is designed to be removable to allow cleaning 

in the event of water immersion. However, the components 

are corrosion resistant and normal rainfall is not a problem. 

Lubricant is not required on any limb component when the 

limbs are used in Hoyt risers. 

 

Hoyt limbs are water-resistant. Occasionally you may apply a 

light coat of quality car wax to the painted surfaces to keep 

them looking fresh, but this is not required. Wood core limbs 

are potentially susceptible to moisture penetration if the pro-

tective finish is damaged (by a deep scratch, for example). 

The use of clear nail polish or clear automotive touch-up paint 

will help re-seal the wood and prevent moisture problems. 

After use in wet conditions, towel dry your limbs and riser to 

prevent water damage (do not use a heat source).
