bow weight. Turn it counter-clockwise to decrease bow weight.
4. Using both Allen wrenches, and holding the tiller bolt in
place, re-lock the tiller bolt locking
screw.
5. Restring the bow using an appropri-
ate recurve bow stringer (See page
15).
Note: From the bottomed out position,
the tiller bolt should only be backed out
to a maximum of six complete turns. If
tiller bolt is backed out more than six
turns damage to the bow or limbs may
occur and warranty will be voided.
ADJUSTING TILLER
WARNING: Never loosen your limb weight adjustment
bolts (Tiller Bolts) more than 6 turns from the bottomed-out
position as it could cause the bow to violently disassemble
Tiller is a measurement which indicates the weight relationship
of the top and bottom limb. This static measurement effects
bow reaction and aiming. It is easily measured by noting the
difference between the top limb butt to the string, and the bot-
tom limb butt and the string. The difference (if any) is the tiller.
The degree of desirable tiller will vary from archer to archer,
depending upon factors such as grip pressure, finger pres-
sure, desired tuning pattern, desired aiming arc, desired bow
reaction and more. As a starting point, it is usually easiest to
tune a bow with 0 to 3/8” of tiller (distance from bottom limb
to string is equal to that of the top limb, or less, by up to 3/8”).
Typically, for most shooters with normal finger and hand pres-
