you can adjust the weight/tiller adjustment bolt to the desired
weight. Turning the weight/tiller adjustment bolt clockwise will

string. To set tiller, measure the distance from
the base of the limb pockets to the bow string
on both the top and bottom bow limbs. The
main function of tiller is to allow the archer
to more easily and comfortably aim during
the draw. When initially putting your bow
together, we recommend you begin with
0-1/8” positive tiller. (Bottom measure-
ment 0-1/8” less than top measurement.)
Tiller can then be adjusted to fit each indi-
vidual. If you find your sight moving up
as you are drawing, increase the bottom
limb poundage slightly, or decrease the top
limb poundage. If the sight is moving
down as you draw, make the opposite adjust-
ments. To adjust the tiller without affecting
bow weight, adjust both the top and
