3 ...GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Always inspect your bow thoroughly before every shooting session to ensure that it is in good working order. Check for worn or missing components and have them replaced when necessary. Inspect your arrows to ensure that they are straight and that each nock is in good condition. A cracked nock can break when fired from the bow. Failure to do so could result in injury or damage and will void the warranty. For this bow, we recommend aluminum or carbon arrows. Using anthing else could cause the bow to dry fire. This can cause injury to the archery and will damage the bow. When you are purchasing your arrows for the Sergeant, review the selection chart from the arrow manufacturer and select the correct arrows for your compound bow. Always use an arrow that meets the draw weight...bow MAINTENANCE Make sure to keep the synthetic cables waxed. Apply bow string wax to your synthetic cables and string before each shooting session. DO NOT WAX THE SERVING. Strings and cables should be replaced periodically. It is recommended that the string and cables be replaced every 5,000 shots/1-full year. Service should only be performed by a certified bow tech. Always store your bow in a cool/dry place. Properly maintaining your bow will give you many years of use....safety As with any weapon, safety should be of the utmost priority. Make sure to use your common sense. Never use your compound bow unless you have had the proper instruction, doing so can result in serious injury. Never shoot your bow without an arrow that has been properly nocked on the string. This will cause a dry fire and can lead to serious injury. Always make sure that you know what lies behind your target. Never point your weapon at anything that you do not plan to shoot. Arrows travel fast and have a lot of power. If you draw your bow and you need to let it down, make sure that you do so in a careful manner. Make sure to keep your head and face out of the way so you do not get hit with an accessory/ the bow itself. Never draw a bow that is outside of your comfort level. Modifying the bow in any way (i.e. drilling extra holes, adjustments to weight or length) will void the warranty and can present safety issues. Remember, most adjustments to your Sergeant Compound Bow should be made on a bow press. It is not recommended that you make these adjustments at home.

4 COMPOUND BOW TERMS

5 Nocking Point Finger Shooters: For the initial setting, make sure to install the nocking point on the bowstring app. 5/16 plus the width of the arrow above a point where a horizontal line from the rest intersects the string. Release-Aid Shooters: Install the nocking point the width of the arrow above a point where the horizontal line from the rest intersects the string. When the arrow is in position on the rest, the arrow nock should fit snug against the bottom of the nocking point....the SETUP Arrow Rest Adjustment The in/out position of the arrow rest should be adjusted so that the arrow is in alignment with the string when shooting with a release aid. The arrow tip should be 1/2 shaft diameter to a full shaft diameter to the left on a right-handed bow (opposite for left-handed bows) when shooting fingers. Cable Guard Adjustment Sight Adjustment When adjusting the sight pin locations, always remember to follow the group. That is, if the shot group is to the left of the target, move the sight pins to the left. If the shot group is low, then make sure that you move the sight pins down. The purpose of the cable guard is to hold the cable out of the path of the arrows. When adjusting the angle of the cable guard, adjust it so the cables just clear the arrow vanes. On one-cam bows, using an offset cable guard rod, adjustments to the cable guard must be done with the rod in the up position (app. 1 o clock). Excessive arrow clearance may cause the cables to track incorrectly on the wheels and cause serious personal injury and/or damage to the bow.
