TILLER ADJUSTMENT
Tiller is the difference in distance
between the upper limb to the string
and lower limb to the string mea-
sured from the base of the limbs
(where the limb and riser meet) at
a 90 degree angle to the string.
(See fig 6)
The main function of tiller is to allow the archer to more
easily and comfortably aim during the draw and release
of the shot. Most bows will shoot best near even til-
ler which means the distance from the string to the
limb is the same on top and
bottom. Tiller adjustments
are made by adjusting either
limb weight adjustment bolt.
(See draw weight adjustment
section pg. 14)
Example: If you have too
much tiller on the bottom
limb, decrease the weight
on the top limb or increase
the weight on the bottom.
Hoyt recommends that you
initially set tiller equal top
and bottom.

CENTERSHOT
Centershot is the alignment of the arrow in the power
path of the string. This is accomplished by moving
the arrow rest left or right. Release shooters should
line the arrow up with or just slightly outside of the
power path of the string. (See fig 8) Finger shooters
should position the arrow so that the tip is just to the
outside of the power path of the string. (See fig 8)
Centershot is critical to how accurately a bow will
perform. These are initial centershot settings, for
proper alignment Hoyt recommends this be done by
a qualified pro shop.
