on the face of the bow. While looking down the string line,
check the location of the tip you are holding to the face of the
limb in your hand. The limb tip should be reasonably close to
the center of the limb.
ADJUSTING THE POCKET
The Hardlock limb pocket alignment system maintains its set-
tings in all conditions
.
You can adjust your limb alignment to
make it perfectly compatible to the riser simply by removing
or adding the supplied
washers to the alignment dowel.
To adjust your pocket follow these directions:
1.
Refer to the diagram below and note the condition.
2.
Unstring your bow and remove the limbs.
3.
Unscrew the alignment locking screw and remove the align-
ment cap and washers. Pull the alignment dowel and washers
out from the sight window side of the pocket. (Do not lose
any parts!)
4.
(Refer to the limb visual)
If your limb is showing Condition A:
Simply add washers to the sight window side (maxium of 4)
of the alignment dowel. If your limb is showing Condition B:
remove washers from the sight window side of the dowel. Limit
your adjustments to one washer at a time. You can store any

unused washers between the riser and alignment cap because
the washers on the alignment cap (non-sight window) side of
the pocket do not affect the alignment.
5.
To reassemble the pocket, first insert the alignment dowel
and washers in the riser (be sure to always put the alignment
dowel in on the sight window side of the riser). Place the
washers, alignment cap and alignment locking screw in the
dowel. Be sure washers are not caught on the threads of
the alignment screw, they
must be flat against dowel
shoulder prior to tighten-
ing. Securely tighten the
dowel locking screw with
the supplied Allen wrench.
APPLYING A NOCKING POINT
A nocking point marks the exact position of the arrow on the
bowstring for each shot. To apply your nocking point, slip an
adjustable nock set on the center serving, and slide it into
position. Initially, set the nocking point at approximately 3/8"
above the level point of the rest. Close the nock set with
nocking pliers so it is firm, but do not over tighten the nock
set as it could break your serving.
Adding washers to the dowel moves
your limb tip to the right, as removing
them moves the tip to the left.
