INITIAL BOW SETUP
Before you can safely and effectively shoot your bow, a number of
specific initial bow setup steps must be taken. These steps can be
performed on your own, if your level of expertise is adequate. Or, your
local Bear Archery dealer can help you.
Arrow Rest Installation & Setup
Arrow rests should be installed according to the manufacturer’s
specifications. The first adjustment you need to perform is setting the
vertical height of your arrow rest. When properly adjusted, your arrow
rest should align the centerline of the arrow with the center of the two
holes used to mount the rest to the riser. To check this, place an arrow in
the rest and nocked on the string. Visually confirm the center of the
arrow passes directly through the center of the arrow rest mounting
holes when viewed from the side. If not, adjust your rest up or down to
correct.
Next, the rest should be adjusted for proper “Centershot”. With an arrow
in the rest and nocked on the string, firmly hold another arrow against
the inside of the riser near the arrow rest mounting holes as illustrated.
Look down the arrows and verify that the arrows are parallel to each
other. In other words, the spacing between the two arrows should be the
same along the entire length of the arrows. If not, adjust your rest side to
side to correct. This is only your “initial” centershot and additional fine
tuning may be required depending on your shooting style and equipment.
