OWNER’S RECORD

Every BowTech bow has completed a

comprehensive check and balance

process. They have been hand shot, test-

ed and measured to ensure compliance

with our strict performance standards.

Performance testing is completed using

a Custom Chrono, Heavy Duty ProShop

Meter and digital scales. Speed ratings

have been obtained with factory

installed e-button, brass nock and Hush

Kit*. The use of these accessories

decreases velocity by 6-14 fps.

Final factory test results are documented

in writing and attached as a “Birth

Certificate” to every bow shipped.

IBO speed ratings are the industry stan-

dard and are calculated by shooting a

350-grain arrow using a 70# bow with

a 30” draw. Speeds for the Equalizer

are achieved using a 300-grain arrow

shot at 60# with a 27 1/2” draw.

All models feature an adjustable

let-off range up to 80% and draw

length modules available in 1/2”

increments. The 82nd Airborne, 101st

Airborne, The General, Allegiance

and TomKat have the option of either

the speed or ultra-smooth module.

* The Hush Kit is comprised of VibraBlocks™, String Silencers and cable muffler. Digital scales used for peak draw and arrow weights have a variance of +/- 1%.

Mass bow weights are taken with Hush Kit and VibraBlocks™ installed.

BINARY CAM SETUP & TUNING

from the draw-length originated by

the module. Depending on bow

model, draw stop may be adjusted via

a slotted post, or a multi-hole eccentric

module (e.g. The General or

Commander).

For models equipped with a slotted

post: move the draw post to cus-

tomize the module for your individ-

ual draw length, stopping the cam

rotation exactly where you want it.

The post rotates until it comes into

contact with the limb of the bow,

resulting in the most solid wall on the

market and the most precise anchor

point available. The post should not

be adjusted more than 1/2 mark from

factory mod specifications.

Start by loosening the Allen screw on

the post. Loosen just enough to allow

movement either toward the 1 (short)

or 10 (long) markings on the cam.

WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT POST

ADJUSTMENT WHILE DRAWING

THE BOW. When adjusting the post,

very little movement is required to

dramatically affect the settings. DO

NOT OVER OR UNDER ADJUST.

Setting the post too short results in a

very low let-off, with almost zero val-

ley. Setting the post too long causes

the cables to contact the mod stop,

making the Binary Cam System less

efficient and also giving very high let-

off. Never move post more than 1/2

The Binary Cams are modular adjust-

ed, so when changing the draw length

module, it is also necessary to readjust

the post setting. Draw length modules

are available in 1/2” increments on all

Binary Cam models.

BowTech bows are factory tuned. Any

alterations to the original factory

setup could inhibit performance. You

may need to reset your draw to the

correct length. Use the module that

best meets your individual draw

length and readjust the post setting

according to mod chosen, before

attempting to fine tune your let-off.

See your Authorized BowTech Dealer

for proper draw length adjustment,

new module installation, and post set-

ting instructions.

SETTING THE PEAK WEIGHT

Peak draw weights are adjustable

approximately 10 pounds downward

depending on the model. Consult your

local authorized BowTech dealer for

information regarding weight adjust-

ment for your bow model. All bows

perform best at peak weight. BowTech

bows are standardized to fit most

manufacturers’ accessories and will

perform best when shot with a mech-

anical release.

DRAW STOP ADJUSTMENTS

The draw stop settings are designed to

make minute changes in increments as

small as 1/16” in draw (up or down)

Page 8: 2008 STRING AND CABLE CHART - BachofnerBogenSport · 2008 string and cable chart ... 60, 70 26 1/2"– 31 1/2" 37 1/2" 310 – 318 fps 78.61 fpe n/a $799 ... 82nd airborne qb 5 4.5

Changing the let-off is accomplished

with ease. It may require a post setting

and/or a module change. The draw stop

affects the bow’s let-off by stopping the

rotation of the cam on the module

track before it over rotates and before

the cables contact the mod stop slot.

Let-off can be adjusted up to 80%.

NOTE: Post setting adjustments allow

fine tuning to achieve individual draw

mark from factory settings. Doing so

will effect performance, let-off and

draw length.

Post adjustment incorporates all the

settings necessary for BowTech mod-

els using the Binary Cam. Improper

adjustment results in performance

inefficiencies and can be dangerous.

When drawing the bow, make sure

that the post stops the draw cycle.

Correct any over-rotation by moving

the post setting toward the 1 mark-

ing. In doing so, you will return to the

correct let-off and valley. Your

Authorized BowTech Dealer can assist

you with proper post adjustment.

Models equipped with a multi-hole

eccentric module draw stop are capa-

ble of an infinite range of adjustabili-

ty. The module rotates with the cam

until it comes into contact with the

cables, providing an effective back

wall. Adjusting this draw stop is as

drastic as adjustments to slotted post

draw stop. Use caution.

Contact your BowTech dealer for assis-

tance making draw stop adjustments.

Any changes made to the draw stop

will directly affect let-off.

NOTE: To set a longer draw length,

you may need to install a different

module and reset the draw post set-

ting in order to maintain maximum

shooting efficiency.

CENTER PIVOT BOWS

The Guardian and Commander Center

Pivot Bows do not require the use of a bow

press to replace string and cables or to

adjust the bows draw weight.

To adjust draw weight, equally back-

off both limb bolts counter-clockwise

(1 full turn = approximately 2–5 lbs). In

order to maintain optimum efficiency,

it is recommended that you do not

decrease the draw weight more than

10 Lbs.

To replace string, cables or install a

peep sight, back the limb bolt out 5

turns on one end then alternate to the

other end, repeating this process until

the end of the limb bolt is just visible

in the limb bolt viewing hole in the

riser (Approx. 3 threads visible). String

tension will be minimal allowing you

to work on the bow as needed.

STRINGS, CABLES & TUNING

Your BowTech custom bowstring is

manufactured to provide long string

life and absolute consistency, shot

after shot. This results in greater accu-

racy, and less time spent re-tuning

your equipment.

It is recommended that you cycle the

bow 100-150 times to remove shrink-

age from the string as a result of relax-

ation during packaging and shipping.

Separate the bowstring and install your

peep sight. To properly align the peep

sight, simply twist the string from the

bottom in 1/2-turn increments until the

peep sight aligns. In rare cases, this pro-

cedure may need to be repeated after

cycling an additional 200 shots.

Wax the string often. We recommend

BCYML 6 synthetic string wax or an

equivalent product. To wax the string,

apply wax liberally to entire length of

string. Rub briskly with fingers until

the string appears slick. Remove all

excess wax with a clean cloth. We rec-

ommend that you wax every other

time you shoot your bow to lengthen

the life of your string and cable sets.

The ShortStop is designed to silence

the string and center it with every

shot. When adjusting the position of

the ShortStop, always keep the short-

stop in its highest position. The

ShortStop should be centered with the

string and lightly touching the string

when the bow is at rest.

For optimum performance and correct

timing, your BowTech is factory preset

with the correct distance between the

module screw and the limb. Contact

your dealer for specific timing gaps for

each bow model.

There are factory installed speed nocks

located on the string at various distances

from the axle(s). These nocks enhance

the speed and performance of the

bow. Installing additional, removing,

or changing the location of the factory

installed speed nocks will reduce per-

formance and speed.

Contact your Authorized BowTech Dealer

for adjustment assistance and to purchase

authorized BowTech replacement parts.

Installation of non-authorized BowTech

components could void your warranty.

CHANGING THE LET-OFF CONT.

length requirements, however adjust-

ing the draw length will affect the let-

off and valley at the same time.

Achieving an exact let-off at a specific

draw length may require some trial and

error of minor modifications and/or the

use of a scale. See your Authorized

BowTech Dealer for assistance.

ABOUT SPEED

If you are truly feeling the need for speed, only one bow company is prepared to

meet the challenge, and we aren’t afraid to back it up. BowTech produces the

fastest bows in the world and every bow is individually lab-tested, and carries a

lifetime warranty.

BowTech, with its patented, revolutionary technology, is determined to fulfill the

number one demand among archers today: maximum speed to target with excep-

tional smoothness.

HOW DO MANUFACTURERS RATE SPEED?

IBO Speed Ratings are an industry standard of measurement used by all manufac-

turers. Speed ratings are based on a bow produced with a draw weight of 70# and

a draw length of 30’’ using a five (5) grain per pound arrow (350 grain). Any devi-

ation from these settings causes a drop in arrow velocity. NOTE: The chart below

is a general guide for the amount of speed lost when accessories are added to

your string.

STRING ACCESSORY SPEED LOSS

Brass Nock 2 - 4 fps

Peep Sight 3 - 6 fps

String Silencers 2 - 6 fps

E-Buttons 2 fps each

Rubber Peep Tube 6 - 10 fps

String Loop 1 - 3 fps (without brass nocks)

VibraBlocks 0 - 2 fps

Speeds vary depending on placement and manufacturer of string added accessories.

Speed loss of arrows over the IBO standard of five (5) grains per pound (350 grains

@ 70# draw weight):

BINARYCAM: Every 3 grains of added arrow weight results in approximately

1 fps speed loss.

BOW MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING

For bow models using limb pocket sys-

tems, do not adjust limb bolts without

first loosening the limb pocket lock

down screw.

WARNING: DO NOT TURN THE LIMB

BOLTS OUT MORE THAN THE RECOM-

MENDED AMOUNT. Doing so could

damage the bow, cause the limbs to

break out of their pockets and result

in bodily injury.

Proper lubrication of the axles and

limb pockets limits wear and tear. Add

enough lubricant to these areas to

create a barrier between each work-

ing part and to optimize the perform-

ance of the bow.

NOTE: Only industry standard lubri-

cants should be used. DO NOT USE

WD-40.

All BowTech bows use AMO standards

for measuring draw lengths, (meas-

ured from the pivot point, or throat,

of the grip to the bottom of the valley)

plus 1-3/4’’.

Always use a properly spined arrow for

this bow with a minimum weight of

five (5) grains per pound (IBO stan-

dard). An arrow with legal IBO weight

is not necessarily properly spined. The

bow must be able to transfer its ener-

gy to the arrow without any loss.

Likewise, the arrow spine must be able

to absorb the bow’s energy. If the

arrow is not properly spined, it will

kick out, lose speed, and have poor

Replace the string and cables once a

year or every 2,500 shots, whichever

comes first, to maintain optimum

performance.

Examine your bow for wear and tear

before you shoot (mod screws, axles,

bushings, cables, cable slide, e-clips,

and string). If any one of these items

shows excessive wear, contact your

Authorized BowTech Dealer to have

them install new BowTech replace-

ment parts. This keeps your bow

shooting consistently without voiding

your warranty.

When adjusting the bow’s draw

weight on Binary Cam bows, always

keep the bow at even tiller. Tiller is the

distance between the string and the

point where the back of the limb joins

the pocket. The tiller at both the top

and bottom should be equal (for

example: 8’’ tiller at the top and 8’’

tiller at the bottom). If the top or bot-

tom tiller is off by as little as 1/8’’, the

bow’s performance may be affected.

When adjusting the bow’s draw weight,

please first consult your local BowTech

dealer for information regarding

weight adjustment ratios and maximum

limb bolt adjustment. A full revolution

of the limb bolt achieves varying draw

weight adjustment results, depending

on bow model. Adjusting the weight of

the bow may adversely affect the bow’s

performance.

flight. If the arrow is properly spined,

it achieves true, straight flight with

maximum speed. Use an arrow chart

to determine what shaft is needed to

fit the specifications of your bow.

Make sure the weight of the arrow

tip is matched to the arrow’s shaft

strength. If the weight of the tip is

too light or too heavy, poor arrow

flight occurs. Use an arrow chart to

find out what tip weight is needed to

match the arrow shaft. Try to main-

tain 7% to 10% forward weight for

your tip selection.

The arrow nock should be 3/16’’ to 3/8’’

above the center of the T-square,

depending on the shaft diameter. This

is a good starting point to achieve

proper arrow flight.

Any accessories added to the bow-

string cause the bow to lose speed. All

speed tests are done only with factory

specs.

If you need assistance with setting up,

tuning, or solving an arrow flight

problem, contact your Authorized

BowTech Dealer.

TURN AROUND TIME

Our goal at BowTech with all warranty returns is to have your bow repaired and

shipped out of our doors within 72 hours, or three (3) business days of receiving

WARRANTY SERVICE

All products returned for warranty service need to be returned to the dealer first

for inspection and determination of any problem. Authorized BowTech Dealers

can help you determine if factory service is required or if your Pro Shop can repair

the problem. The bow owner is responsible for the return freight to BowTech, and

BowTech will in turn, pay for the return freight of the repaired product. In the

event that a bow must be returned for factory service, a Return Authorization

(RA) number must first be obtained through your dealer.

Bows returned to the factory without an RA number will be refused.

All bows must include the following:

– A large, readable RA number on the outside of the box.

– A copy of the sales receipt, if previously sold.

– Must be sent freight prepaid. No COD shipments will be accepted.

– Do not include accessories unless otherwise instructed.

BowTech will not be responsible for loss or damage to any

accessory left on the bow when shipped.

– All methods of shipping by UPS or FED-EX only.

Sender should insure all shipments.

– If your bow cannot be repaired, we reserve the right to replace your bow

with a newer model.

– BowTech reserves the right to make parts substitutions on warranty

coverage at BowTech’s sole discretion and for any reason.

SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION

BEFORE USING YOUR NEW BOWTECH, READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOL-

LOWING MATERIAL OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY

OF THESE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAN DAMAGE THE BOW AND

MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO YOURSELF AND/OR OTHERS.

Your new BowTech bow is a highly tuned, precise shooting machine. It requires spe-

cial care and handling to achieve and maintain peak performance. The string, cables,

and limbs are under extreme tension, which create an incredible source of energy

that must not be taken for granted. Please respect this power and use it properly.

WARNING: NEVER DRY FIRE THE BOW

NEVER draw a bow without an arrow nocked. Doing so may cause personal injury

and/or damage the bow. When drawing a bow for inspection or demonstration,

never release the string at full draw to let down. Hold onto the string and do not

let it slip out of your hands. Without the resistance of a properly weighted arrow

to absorb the energy, you may damage the bow and cause personal injury to you

and/or others.

ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED

ADULT SUPERVISION OF ALL CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 IS REQUIRED.

A BOWTECH BOW IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER SEVEN (7)

YEARS OF AGE.

BowTech has designed your bow to be a safe and fun product. However, as with

any shooting style product, safety rules must be observed. It is HIGHLY recom-

mended that these rules be read before using any bow.

Bows and arrows are NOT toys. For maximum safety and enjoyment, always

exercise caution, common sense, and safety rules when shooting any bow.

ALWAYS use an appropriate backstop for maximum safety. An appropriate back-

stop must be constructed of a durable material and must extend beyond the

perimeter of the target. The recommended backstop size is determined by the

accuracy and ability of the shooter. The lower the level of accuracy, the larger the

perimeter required.

NEVER aim or draw any bow in the direction of a person. Aim and draw ONLY in

the direction of an appropriate target. ALWAYS have a full view of the path to

the target and beyond when shooting.

ALWAYS inspect arrow and fletching prior to shooting for imperfections such as cracks, splits, or splinters. Damaged arrows must not be used and should bedestroyed. A flex-test is recommended by most carbon arrow manufacturers.

NEVER retrieve arrows or allow anyone else to do so until all arrows have been shot.

NEVER draw the bow without properly adjusted limb bolts (no more than 2-1/2

turns off peak weight). Make sure the string and cables are properly attached to

the correct post and in the correct tracks in order to avoid possible injury.

DO NOT attach anything to the string or cables that could cause them to wear or

become cut. This will void the warranty.

DO NOT cross cables in any configuration other than the configuration set by thefactory. This will have an adverse effect on performance and shootability. This willalso cause extreme wear to the string, cable and either cableslide or roller guard.

Any alteration from the factory specifications or the adjustments outlined herein

will void the factory warranty. ALL maintenance must be performed at an

Authorized BowTech Dealer.
