Adjustments and Tuning

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 XS-VT cam on your Thresher X bow has a tuning reference hole. The cable on the top cam should be
within 2 13/16" of the reference hole and on the bottom cam the cable should be within 2 3/16" of the reference
hole. There is a tolerance of plus or minus 3 twists in each cable and string to optimize tuning.

Draw Length Modification Reference Guide
Adjusting Draw Stops
Once the module is adjusted to desired draw length using the chart above the draw stops must now be set and
retightened. There are reference numbers and tick marks along the draw stop track on the bottom cam and top cam.
Using the chart below set the bottom and top limb stop by centering the head of the Torx screw with the reference
numbers on cam track. For cable stops, center the stop with the reference numbers on cam track. Charted is the
range for each draw length, slight adjustment either way may be necessary. Set bottom and top stops to correlate
with each other in their ranges. Adjust cables to make limb stops hit at the same time to achieve perfect nock travel.

*Top cam and bottom cam limb stop location is referenced by centering the head of the Torx screw of stop with the draw stop reference numbers
indicated on the cam. This is the starting point for each draw length, slight adjustment either way or modifying string and cable lengths by twisting/
untwisting may be necessary. Middle of range is optimum setting, but to achieve desired feel and tune moving the stops with the listed range is
acceptable and may be needed. For cable stop, look at center of cable stop, not torx screw. See Figure 3 & 4.
** This refers to the bows peak draw weight.
The XS-VT cams have rotating modules that achieve multiple draw lengths
when rotated. These draw lengths are designated by the numbering system
that is charted below. The top and bottom modules must always have the same
corresponding number for each draw length. Mod position determined by rotating
mod post (see Figure 1). Prior to changing draw length the draw stop stand offs
on both cams should be loosened and moved to the end of each track. This will
eliminate any possible contact issue between the head of the draw stop standoff
screw and the new location of the rotating mod.

Draw Weight Adjustments
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 tightened 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 5.

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. Set the center shot at 13/16".
• Never reduce the draw weight of the bow more than 8 pounds below the specified peak weight.
• Never draw bow without draw stops installed properly.
• Anytime a mod screw is removed, a dab of blue locktight should be applied for reinstall.
