Adjustments and Tuning
It is important that your new bow is adjusted to fit you properly. Your authorized Xpedition Archery retailer should be
able to aide in properly fitting your bow to you to achieve maximum performance. When replacing strings and cables on
your bow it is important to closely follow Xpedition's string and cable specifications to ensure ease of tuning and proper
function.
Each Smoke cam on your Smoke bow has a tuning reference hole. The cable on the top cam should be within 1 11/16"
to 1 3/4" the reference hole and on the bottom cam the cable should be within 1 5/16" of the reference hole. There is a
tolerance of plus or minus 3 twists in each cable and string to optimize tuning. See Figure 1 & 2.

Draw Length Adjustments
Smoke Cam
The Smoke cams are draw length specific cams to achieve multiple draw lengths. These draw lengths are designated by
the numbering system that is charted below. One side of the top cam has a "T" engraved into it and the bottom cam has
a "B", each followed by a corresponding number. The top and bottom cams must always have the same corresponding
number for each draw length.
Draw Length Modification Reference Guide
Adjusting Draw Length
The Smoke cam is draw length specific in 1/2" increments. Draw length may be adjusted 1/8 - 1/4" +/- from designated
length by adjusting draw stops in or out. There are reference marks along the draw stop track of the top and bottom
cam. From Factory, the draw stops will be set in optimal position to achieve proper draw length, effective let off, and
vertical nock travel. If adjustments needed, make note of factory settings. Once bottom stop is set to the desired feel and
let off, draw bow and set the top stop so it comes in contact with the top limb at the same time the bottom stop comes
into contact with the bottom limb.

Changing Draw Weight
On the top side of one of the bottom limbs is a sticker that has the string and cable lengths as well as the bow's capable
peak draw weight. The peak weight is achieved by the limb bolts being completely tighten down. The peak draw weight
can be turned down 8 pounds with each bow model. With an Allen wrench loosen the top and bottom limb bolts. One full
turn reduces weight by approximately 2 pounds. Never back off more the 4 turns. Make sure the adjustment to the top
limb bolt and bottom limb bolt is identical. See Figure 3.

Safety & Maintenance
• All models of Xpedition Archery bows should only be put in bow presses that compress by limb tip contact only.
• The strings have factory installed speed nocks. Changing or removing these will reduce the performance of your
bow.
• Avoid storing your bow in an environment where it is subject to high heat and always make sure the bow is dry
when storing.
• Never dry fire your bow. This will cause damage to your bow and make it unsafe to shoot.
• Before shooting, inspect arrows to insure there are no defects or damages such as cracks in the shaft or nock.
• Periodically apply a light coating of bowstring wax to the string and cables.
• Never attempt to shoot your bow without a nock set.
• Nock or D-loop should be set so that arrow sets at a 90 degree angle with the string.
• Never reduced the draw weight of the bow more than 8 pounds below the specified peak weight.
• Never draw bow without draw stops installed properly.
