Picture 1. Shows correct elbow position.
Never shoot the bow without an arrow in it. This is called dry firing and may damage the bow, or cause
injury to you.
Keep bow pointed in a safe direction away from persons or anything you do not want to damage
Be careful with loose clothing, hoody strings, hair, earrings and bracelets. They can get caught in the bow
string while shooting.
The elbow of the hand holding the bow needs to be kept bent so that it does not get hit by the bow string
while shooting. The string hitting the arm can cause bruising or skin irritation. See pictures below.
Picture 2. Shows improper Elbow Position –
with elbow positioned as shown you can get
hit by the bow string causing bruising.

1. Put tension on both cams, so that slack is created in the string. Remove the string
from the cable tracks. See Detail D1.
2. With slack now in the string, un-knot one end of the string. This can be located on
the inside notched area of the cam.
3. Once un-knoed, pull string through the limbs and completely out through the
other cam so it is completely removed from the bow.
4. Take the new string and knot one end so that the not is as far to the end of the
string as possible, but not too far where it will pull through when pressure is
applied. Insert open end of the string into the cam and limb hole, so that the string
exits on the outside of the cam.
5. Without the string in the cam tracks, insert the string reversely on the opposite
cam, so that the string ends on the interior notched side of the other cam.
6. Knot the string again as close to the end as possible, so that the string is unable to
be pulled though the holes on either end.
7. Once secured, put light pressure on the limbs so that the string can be moved into
both the top and boom cam tracks.
8. Move finger savers accordingly so that an arrow is level when secured in arrow rest.
