How do I find the string and cable lengths for my Hoyt bow? #tuning #strings #compound The string and cable lengths are normally listed on the limb sticker located on the limb of your bow. If this sticker is missing or illegible, you can go to Hoyt.com and research the tune charts for the correct specifications.
Please visit the Compound Bow Tune Charts page. How far can I back my limb bolts out and how many pounds of draw weight do I lose with each turn? #tuning #compound #draw weight On most Hoyt bows the maximum number of turns that you can turn out your limb bolts is eight (8). The Hoyt Ignite model bow can be adjusted out ten (10) turns. The amount of weight that you will lose varies from bow to bow and turn to turn.
The only way to know how much weight is being lost is by measuring it on a bow scale. Where do I find an Owner’s Manual for my Hoyt Bow? #manuals #compound #recurve Owner’s manuals from 2002-present are available on our Manuals page. How do I know which arrow to use with my compound bow? #tuning #compound #arrows The Easton Shaft Selector is a great tool and can be found at: How can I learn more about tuning and maintaining my Hoyt bow? #tuning #maintenance #compound #recurve The Hoyt Owner's Manual is full of helpful tips on basic tuning and maintenance! The manuals (by product year) can be found.

How far can I back the weight off of my compound bow and still be safe? #tuning #compound #draw weight Hoyt recommends that you never exceed eight complete rotations of the limb weight adjustment bolts from the bottomed out (maximum weight) position.
What arrows should I shoot with my bow? #tuning #compound #recurve #arrows To find out which arrow is the best to shoot with your setup, visit www.eastonarchery.com and click on the Shaft Selector Guide. This will walk you through a simple step by step process in order to find the shaft that's best for you. Hoyt bows should not be shot with arrows weighing less than 5 grains per pound of draw weight. How do I adjust the draw weight of my bow?
#tuning #compound #draw weight Weight adjustments can easily be made by turning the weight adjustment bolt or limb bolt (tiller bolt on recurve bows) clockwise to increase weight or counter clockwise to decrease weight. You should always turn the top and bottom adjustment bolts in equal amounts.
Be sure to unstring recurve bows before making adjustments. How often should I replace my strings and cables? #compound #maintenance #strings Hoyt recommends that a bow's strings and cables should be changed when wear is evident or every two years under normal use conditions. How often should I wax my bow strings? #compound #maintenance #strings Hoyt recommends applying a light coat of bowstring wax to your bow's strings and cables on a regular basis. Hoyt suggests once every two weeks during peak use. Use a high quality bowstring wax available at your local Hoyt Pro Shop.
How often should I lubricate my wheels/cams? #compound #maintenance #cams A light, spot lubrication of the axles where they pass through the wheel/cam should be done on a regular basis (1,500-2,000 shots). In adverse hunting conditions where dirt, dust, and moisture are encountered, lubrication may be done on a daily basis. Hoyt recommends that you use a silicone or Teflon based lubrication or any other quality grease available at your local Hoyt Pro Shop.
It is not recommended that you use 'penetrating oils' such as WD-40, EZ #7, Fast Break, etc. Note: Cam & 1/2 System bows feature sealed stainless steel ball bearings which do not require lubrication. I have made alignment adjustments to my Hardlock-dowel-equipped Hoyt recurve riser but now I want to return the bow to the factory zero setting. How do I do it? #tuning #recurve It is a simple matter to return your Hoyt recurve Hardlock dowel to the factory zero position. The installation of two alignment washers on the solid end of the dowel (the opposite end of the dowel from the screw and cap), and insertion of the dowel from the sight window side (top and bottom are not interchangeable) sets the dowel back to zero.
Place unused washers under the cap, replace the locking screw, tighten the system down, and you a have a factory-fresh setting- which is all you need in 99.9 percent of setups with Hoyt limbs. Full details can be found in the Recurve Owner’s Manuals at:. What is the proper way to adjust recurve riser alignment?
#tuning #recurve For instructions on how to properly adjust recurve riser alignment refer to the Recurve Owner’s Manuals at:. What recurve string material does Hoyt recommend? #recurve #tuning #strings All Hoyt recurves are engineered to work with the latest high-performance string materials. We have extensively tested and have had good results with the following: Angel Majesty Brownell D75 Dyneema Brownell D75 Thin Brownell TS1 BCY Dynaflight 97 BCY 8125G or BCY 8190. Any of these current materials can be used to build an excellent recurve bowstring. Please consult manufacturer websites for additional information on these string materials.
How many twists can I have/do I need in my recurve bow string? #recurve #tuning #strings Hoyt recommends that a modern synthetic (Dyneema, Fast Flight, etc.) string for a high-performance bow have not less than 15-20 twists with a suggested maximum of 1 twist per inch of string length.
This promotes a rounder, more consistent string. When my recurve limbs are unstrung, I can easily move them back and forth. Do I have a problem? #recurve #limbs The original, patented Hoyt Dovetail system functions by self-centering the limb on the engagement surfaces of the limb itself.
This means that the system will appear to be loose until the bow is strung. Once the bow is strung, the self-centering aspect of the system takes over. Every time the bow is shot, the limbs are forced to the precise center alignment dictated by the geometric position of the alignment dowels.
This makes shimming limbs for pocket fit unnecessary. Note that other bow companies making an imitation Hoyt dovetail may not hold the necessary tolerances required for optimal system function. This will be the case will all current Hoyt recurve bows except for the Gamemaster II and Dorado.

#tuning #compound #cams Each cam and limb model is specifically designed to work together with the particular bow models that they are built with. While some cam and limb models may have similar dimensions and physically “fit” on another bow, adding those parts can cause negative effects to both the performance and the safety of the bow. Hoyt does not recommend using any parts on a bow that were not originally available on that particular model from the Hoyt factory.

Hoyt Bow Serial Number
DATING YOUR FRED BEAR BOW There are several features and changes that were made to the bear bows over the years that will help narrow the age of your bow or your potential investment. The Serial Number: These bows usually have, what appears to be a hand inscription on one of the limbs that gives a serial number along with the length and pull weight of the bow. This serial number works very well for dating Bear Bows from 1965-1969 when the first digit of the serial number is the year of manufacture. For example, a serial number of 5L212 would be a 1965 Bow. Prior to 1965, the serial numbers for all Bear bows were started over every month, making these bows almost impossible to date by serial number alone. The 'K' series of serial numbers (for example KZ9672) were started in 1970.
Patent Mark: Most of the BEAR Bows we have sold have the logo and the US Patents printed on it along with the date of CANADA 1953. This date that is printed on all bows made between 1953 and 1972 is simply the date of the patent for a working recurve limb and has nothing to do with the actual model year. Decals & Silkscreening: In 1948 the small Running Bear decal was first and then was replaced by the large Standing Bear decal in mid-1953. The large Standing Bear decal also has the words 'Glass Powered Bow' under the Standing Bear. The large Standing Bear decal was used until 1955 when it was replaced with silk-screening the identification on the bows. By 1956 the silk-screening appeared on all bows. All Wood vs Laminate: If your bow is ALL wood (no laminations of any kind) then your bow had to be made before the mass productions beginning in 1949.
If the ALL wood bow has a stamp that reads 'Bear Products' in some form it would have been made before the early to mid 40's. If it is stamped 'Bear Archery' it would have been made AFTER the early-mid 40's and BEFORE 1949. Also wooden bows with a small 'Running Bear' decal can be dated to 1948 5. The Leather Grip: ALL Bear bows had leather grips until 1959.
In 1959, the Kodiak Special removed the leather grip and in 1961 the Kodiak did the same, as well as the Grizzly in 1964. The Coin Medallion: Beginning in 1959 all Bear bows had a coin medallion of one type of metal or another. Below are the approx date ranges for the type of coin used. Copper Coin - 1959 Aluminum - 1960-1961 Pewter - 1962 Brass - 1963 - 1970 Nickel-Silver - 1971-1972 ALL coins were flush with the wood until 1972.
In late 1972 the coin was raised above the surface of the bow and came in both gold and chrome covered plastic and are still used in Bear bows today. Manufacturer Location: in 1978 Bear moved all manufacturing and offices to Gainesville, Florida.
If your bow shows Gainesville on it then it was made after 1978 8. Model Of The Bow: Check the Model of the bow.
Below is a yearly production chart for the most popular Bear Bows.
