Limb Maintenance
Hoyt limbs are very low maintenance. However, a few simple
actions can help keep them looking new and prevent minor prob-
lems.
Hoyt limbs are very low maintenance. However, a few simple
actions can help keep them looking new and prevent minor prob-
lems.
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-tighten. The screw is designed
to be removable to allow cleaning in the event of water immer-
sion. However, the components are corrosion resistant and nor-
mal rainfall is not a problem. Lubricant is not required on any
limb component if the limbs are used in Hoyt risers.

Hoyt foam limbs (such as M1, G3, and Vector) are water-resist-
ant. Once a year, 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 more susceptible 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).
