SETTING YOUR CENTER SHOT
The final step of tuning is to position your center
shot. To start, position the arrow slightly outside
of the center of the bowstring. To do that, begin
by nocking an arrow and placing it on the arrow
rest. Do not draw the bow, but position yourself
behind the string side of the bow, looking down
the arrow. Align the string down the center of
the limbs and riser and check to see the posi-
tion of the arrow tip relative to this line. Adjust
the plunger or arrow rest until the inside edge of
the arrow shaft aligns with this line.

LIMB MAINTENANCE
Hoyt limbs are very low maintenance. However, a few simple
actions can help keep them looking new and prevent minor
problems. The most common limb issue is loose hardware.
Over time, the stainless-steel button head screw holding
the limb detent system in the limb can loosen. Use an Allen
wrench to periodically re-tighten this screw. Do not over-tight-
en. The screw is designed to be removable to allow cleaning
in the event of water immersion. However, the components
are corrosion resistant and normal rainfall is not a problem.

limbs are used in Hoyt risers.
Hoyt foam limbs (such as 900 CX and G3) are water-resis-
14
tant. Occasionally you may apply a light coat of quality car
wax to the painted surfaces to keep them looking fresh, but
this is not required. Wood core limbs are potentially suscep-
tible to moisture infiltration if the protective finish is damaged
(by a deep scratch, for example). The use of clear nail polish
or clear automotive touch-up paint will help re-seal the wood
and prevent moisture problems. After use in wet conditions,
towel dry your limbs and riser to prevent water damage (do
not use a heat source).
WARRANTY
Hoyt recurve handles are warranted against defects in
materials and workmanship to the original owner for the
life of the product. Hoyt recurve limbs are warranted for
one (1) year. A dated proof of purchase is required for war-
ranty coverage. Products must be purchased through a Hoyt
authorized dealer for warranty coverage. Hoyt, at its discre-
tion, voids all warranty claims either expressed or implied
including but not limited to evidence of abuse, modification
to original design or use of attachments or accessories that
cause excessive stress.
WARRANTY SERVICE
To obtain warranty service, you should refer to the Hoyt
Dealer where you purchased your Hoyt bow. The dealer can
help you determine if Hoyt factory service is required or if the
repaircanbecompletedbythedealer.Ifthebowmustbe
returned to the factory, the bow owner is responsible for the
return postage to Hoyt. Hoyt, in turn, will match the postage
for reshipping the repaired bow.
Before any bow is returned to the Hoyt factory for warranty
service, a Return Authorization Number must be obtained
through an authorized Hoyt USA pro shop. Bows returned to
the factory without a Return Authorization Number will be
sent back. (warranty info continued on page 16)
