Compound Bow

USER’S GUIDE

Thank you from the entire PSE family for purchasing a PSE bow!

Your PSE bow was manufactured from the finest materials available

and handcrafted with pride in the USA. With proper care you will

enjoy the use of this product for years to come.

Please read this entire booklet before shooting or adjusting your bow. Remember,

many adjustments to a compound bow require the use of a bow press. Whenever

shooting a bow, be certain of your target as well as what else lies downrange.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Always inspect your bow thoroughly before each shooting session to insure that it is in

good working order. Check for worn or missing components and have them replaced at

an authorized PSE dealer as required, i.e. bushings, spacers, etc.

• Inspect your arrows to insure that they are straight, undamaged and that each nock is in

good condition. A cracked nock can break when fired from the bow and cause the bow

to "dry fire" resulting in possible injury to the archer and damage to the bow.

• When purchasing arrows for your bow, consult the selection chart from the arrow

manufacturer and select the correct arrow for your application. Always use an arrow that

is at least 5 grains per pound of peak bow weight. Failure to do so could cause personal

injury and damage to your bow.

BOW MAINTENANCE

Your PSE bow will give you many years of service if maintained and cared for properly.

IMPORTANT: Before servicing any PSE bow in a bow press, back out each limb bolt 4

complete turns from bottomed position.

• Keep synthetic cables and strings waxed. Apply bow string wax to your synthetic cables

and string before each shooting session.

• Strings and cables must be replaced periodically. A worn cable or string can suddenly

break causing serious injury to the archer and damage to the bow. It is recommended

that the string and cables be replaced at least every 5,000 shots or 12 months.

• Always store your bow in a cool dry place. High temperatures, such as those that can

occur in a truck or interior of a vehicle, can cause serious damage to your bow.

• After use in high humidity or damp conditions, wipe metal components of bow

with a light oil.

SAFETY

As with any weapon, safe operation of your PSE bow must always be the highest priority.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN HANDLING A BOW.

Do not attempt to use your bow without proper instruction. Doing so can result in

serious injury.

a. Never "dry-fire" any bow. Dry-firing is drawing and releasing the bowstring without

an arrow on the string. Dry-firing will likely cause damage to the bow and serious

injury to the archer.

b. Always be sure of your intended target as well as what lies behind the target area. An arrow

can travel a considerable distance, so it is important to have a safe and sound backstop.

c. If you draw a bow and need to let it down, do so in a slow and careful manner. Keep

your support arm straight and prepare for a rapid and violent let-down. Avoid hitting

your hand on protruding accessories such as the cable guard or quiver. Keep your head

and face back and out of danger during let-down. Never draw a bow with a peak

weight above your comfort level. Always use a bow sling when drawing a bow.

d. Never modify any part of the bow or its components by drilling extra holes or removing

material. This voids the warranty and presents safety problems.

SETTING-UP YOUR BOW

Alignment

Arrowrest mounting hole

NOCKING POINT PLACEMENT:

Finger shooters: Install the nocking point so that the

arrow passes at the center of the arrowrest mounting hole

and runs slightly point-down relative to the tuning mark

on the window of the bow.

Release Aid shooters: Install the nocking point so that

the arrow passes at the center of the arrowrest mounting

hole and runs parallel to the tuning mark on the window

of the bow.

ARROWREST ADJUSTMENT:

When shooting with a release aid the in/out

position of the arrowrest should be adjusted so that

the arrow runs parallel with the tuning mark on the

shelf when viewed from above. When shooting with

fingers the arrow should point slightly away from

the tuning mark on the shelf.

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,

move the sight pins down.

CABLE GUARD ADJUSTMENT &

INSTALLATION:

Install the cable guard as shown in Figure A.

Adjust the cable guard so the cables just clear

the arrow vanes. On bows using an offset

cable guard rod, adjustments must be done

with the rod in the up position (approximately

1 o’clock) as shown in Figure B (11 o’clock for

left handed bows). Excessive arrow clearance

may cause the cable to track incorrectly on the

wheels and cause personal injury and/or

damage to the bow.

BACKSTOP ™ INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Many PSE bow models come from the factory with the Backstop ™ installed.

These instructions refer to reinstallation or adjustment if needed after making adjustments

to your PSE bow.

1. Remove the setscrews from the base using a 1/16” hex wrench.

2. Install the Backstop ™ into the threaded hole below the

grip on the string- facing side of the bow.

3. Extend the Backstop ™ until it makes contact with the string. Mark the string ¼” above

and ¼” below where it makes contact with the string. Remove the Backstop ™ and

add serving to that area of the string. Reinstall the Backstop ™ .

4. To avoid any possibility of the cables striking the setscrews, the setscrews must be

facing away from the cables. If they are not, remove the Backstop ™ base, add the

washer provided and reinstall the Backstop ™ base as shown.

5. Securely tighten the base to the bow handle.

6. Extend rod from base until rubber stopper contacts the string. Rotate rod until the

indentation in the rod closest to the alignment hole (see picture) can be identified.

Rod should be rotated 180° and the rod/stopper lightly pushed into the string until

the next available indentation is visible (Detent holes are offset – see picture below).

Install the setscrews to secure rod in this position. Tighten setscrews.

Serve string

in this area.

Add washer

if setscrews

are near

cables.
