Good shooting and good hunting!

Setting up your new Mathews bow...As you probably know, once your Mathews bow is properly tuned, it will stay intune thanks to the single-cam design. However, initial setup of draw length, weight,nock point, etc. is critical to maximize the performance of your new bow.

Draw LengthIf your new Mathews SoloCam bow is equipped with a “StraightLine” MaxCam,which is draw length specific, there is no adjustment on the cam. Other Mathewscams are adjustable for draw length and come set at the longest draw length settingunless your retailer has indicated otherwise. Mathews offers several cam sizes tohelp ensure optimum draw length and performance for your measurements and shooting style. The draw length on your bow is adjustable on the cam a maximum ofone inch down from the peak draw length. This is accomplished by moving thestring loop to any of three adjustment posts on either side of the cam. The number1 post would be the longest draw length for that particular cam. For example: toshorten the draw by 1/2", the string would be moved to the number 2 post on bothsides of the cam. The Mini MaxCam can be adjusted down from its peak drawlength, approximately 1/2". This is accomplished by moving the string loop to the secondary post on the cam.

Draw WeightMathews SoloCam bows have a 10 pound weight reduction range from your bow’s peak weight (example: if your bow has a peak weight of 70 pounds, you can adjust itas low as 60 pounds). Draw weight adjustments are made using either a 3/16" or 7/32"Allen wrench. Turn the limb bolt clockwise to increase the draw weight and counter-clockwise to decrease the weight. Each rotation is equivalent to 3 or 4 pounds ofdraw weight. It is very important to adjust the limb bolts equally but do not exceed 5full turns out from maximum draw weight. Your Mathews SoloCam bow will gener-ally perform best at its designated peak weight.

Nock Point InstallationThere are many variables involved in determining where to install your nock point.These include: type of arrow rest, arrow spine, whether you use fingers or a releaseaid, and your hand placement on the bow. As a general rule, the nock point shouldbe set perpendicular (90°) to your arrow rest or somewhere within 1/2" above the 90°point. This guideline is a starting point – you may need to move your nocking pointas you fine-tune your Mathews SoloCam bow.

The following is a breakdown of Mathews’ available cams and how each is adjusted for draw length:

About the MaxCam™ on your bowMathews invented the perimeter-weighted cam, technology that creates a flywheeleffect which lengthens and strengthens the cam’s power stroke, dramaticallyincreasing arrow speed while also reducing recoil. We call our perimeter-weightedcams “MaxCams”. There are multiple different MaxCams:

Note: MaxCams are not compatible with any Mathews non-MaxCam model. The use of a MaxCam™ on such models will void the warranty of that bow.

Arrow selection...Determining Proper Arrow LengthThe first step in selecting your arrows is to determine your arrow length. This isdetermined by several factors, including arm length and full-draw anchor position. If you are using an overdraw, you can mark the arrow just in front of the rest. Thedistance from your mark to the string groove in the arrow nock will be your correctarrow length. Your Mathews retailer can be an invaluable help in this process.

Using the Easton Shaft Selection Chart (see pages 12 & 13)After you’ve determined your arrow length, find its corresponding measure in thelength column. Move down this column until you reach the correct draw weight ofyour bow. The correct spine for your arrow is found where your draw length andweight intersect. Use the “hard cam” category on the chart for a Mathews SoloCam bow.

String and cable lengths for each Mathews bowThe Zebra ZS Twist bowstring is standard on all Mathews bows. It combines bundles of low-stretch, multifilament strands counter-twisted to form a perfectlybalanced bowstring that does not rotate as the bow is drawn. Your peep comes toperfect position every time – without the need for rubber tubing and other alignment devices. Plus, peep installation is easier than ever. Following is a list ofthe string and cable lengths required for each Mathews model:

Tuning your Mathews® SoloCam® bow...TillerSetting the tiller on your Mathews SoloCam bow is easy. In fact, there’s no measur-

ing necessary. Starting from a point where both limbs are tightened completely,

simply back them off an equal number of turns.

Estimating Center ShotUsing the correct arrow size, position your arrow on the string at the nock point.

While holding the bow in front of you, visually align the bow string with the center

line of the grip. The string should run true down the center of your arrow shaft.

This is a good reference point to begin paper tuning. Note: A good starting point is

13/16" over from the riser to center of arrow shaft.

The Importance of Paper Tuning and Tear PatternsWith an improperly tuned bow, broadheads may shoot as much as 18" off center at

20 yards (when compared to field tips). By tuning a bow to shoot a good hole in

paper, you will ensure the best possible broadhead flight.

Before beginning, it’s important to know that perfect “bullet holes” are not always

possible with all shooters. Light tears are quite acceptable and will not deter accu-

racy. Fine tuning requires patience and consistent shooting form. Perfect results

are only achieved with perfect form. Also, remember to always do your final

sightings with broadheads before hunting.

To begin paper tuning, stand approximately eight feet from the paper (with a

suitable backstop several feet behind the paper to allow complete arrow passage).

Check your tear pattern against the following boxes for further instruction.

If it’s a combination, such as up and to the left, both instructions will apply.

This is an example of a properly tuned bow.

Note that the point where the arrow tip went

through is centered in the middle of three very

comparable vane tears.

After the shot, push the paper back flatand you will see a star shaped entryhole where the tip went through.

dryfiring can damage your bow and can cause personal injury. Damage to your bow due to

dryfiring will not be covered under the warranty.

Periodically check strings and cablesAlways inspect your bow for frayed strings and cables. Replace damaged strings and cables

immediately. Mathews strings can be waxed and maintained as any other fast-flight string.

Please make sure you are using the proper string for your bow.

Bushings are self-lubricatingYour Mathews SoloCam bow requires no lubrication – all bushings are self-lubricating.

Do not alter your bowAny alterations to your Mathews SoloCam bow will void the warranty. Alteration could cause

damage to the bow or personal injury.

Use only a double-pull bow pressNever use a single-pull bow press. We recommend a double-pull press to avoid damage to

your riser or bow. Damage caused by a single-pull press will not be covered under warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions(with answers from the technical staff at Mathews)

Q: Where do I start my nocking point when setting up my new Mathews bow?A: As a starting point, place your nock point level to 1/8" high of center.

Q: How do I get center shot on my Mathews bow? Do I use a center-shot tool?A: We recommend measuring off the side of the riser at the rest attachment holeto the center of the arrow shaft approximately 3/16". Adjust the rest as needed forproper arrow flight. A center-shot tool is not needed.

Q: What cam should I choose when using the Easton arrow selection chart?A: We recommend the hard cam column, and either the A or B spine within theirspecifications.

Q: What weight arrow should I use for IBO and AMO speed tests on my bow?A: We test IBO speeds with bows at 70-pound draw weight and at 30" draw lengthwith an arrow that weighs 350 grains. The AMO test is done with a bow at 60-pound draw weight and 30" draw length with an arrow that weighs 540 grains.Nothing added to the bowstring.

Q: I am having trouble obtaining the speeds that are listed for IBO. What wouldcause this?A: IBO speed ratings are based on a 70-pound draw weight, 30" draw length andan arrow that weighs 350 grains. Any deviation from that will cause you to losespeed. This includes shortening draw length, reducing draw weight, adding itemson the bowstring or extra arrow weight.

Q: What is the minimum arrow weight I can safely shoot with my Mathews bowand still not void the lifetime warranty?A: Five grains per pound of draw weight would be the minimum.

Q: What rest does Mathews recommend for its bows?A: We manufacture a rest with 1" or zero overdraw. These rests are made to fiteach riser and have an internal spring. The rests are designed with shoot-throughprongs and the lizard tongue to accommodate different shooting styles. The 1"overdraw rest is not recommended for any bow with a brace height of less than 6-1/2".

The Mathews Heritage Longbow...an elegant work of art and craftsmanshipthat offers exceptional performance!

The bow that everyone can shoot!

“Zero let-off” means no specific draw lengthBecause the Genesis System™ eliminates let-off on light draw weight bows (where it’s unnecessary), there are no specific draw length requirements. The result is a bow that fits virtually everyone (15" to 30") and that a young person can’t outgrow.

Performs like a bow with higher poundage A Genesis™ bow, set at 20 lbs. (it’s adjustable from 10 to 20 lbs.), stores and releases energy comparable to that of a 35 lb. recurve! Plus, with zero let-off, it has the “holding weight” necessary to “pull the string from your finger,” making it easy to shoot.

Now available as a kit!

Introducing the Genesis®Pro…

When Matt McPherson developed the revolutionary Genesis bow, he did so with the intent of re-introducing archery to our nations youth. Through the efforts of many, that is happening, especially in the state of Kentucky where 90,000+ students participated last school year.

• Kids can’t outgrow it – because there is no specific draw length

• It’s simple to buy – no need to measure or fit for draw length

• It’s easy to shoot – beginners won’t develop bad habits because the draw length is always right

Mathews is a proud supporter of the National Archery In The Schools ProgramWhat nobody anticipated is the profound effect that archery would have in transforming the lives of students who weren’t the fastest, strongest or most athletic. Students who excelled at archery gained valuable self-confidence. And, while teachers knew archery would give them a

subject to base math, science and physics, lessons on, nobody anticipated the extent to which archery would impact attendance – students don’t want to miss archery day.

Give kids a shot in your state. Contact your DNR, Dept. of Education or local school. Tell them about Genesis (nasparchery.com).
