CABLE GUARD INSTALLATION AllMartincompoundbowmodels*featuresmoothbore holes in the riser that allow direct, bracket-free installationofthecableguardrod.Therearesetscrewswithintheriserthatwillsecuretherod. The cable guard rod should be rotated toward the gripto provide adequate fletching clearance. Caution shouldbe taken against over-rotating the rod as excessive clear-ancecancauseunnecessarypressuresonthe limbtipsandaxle bushings.Only 9/16” offset is necessary to provide adequatefletchingclearance. Thoughmost bowmodels allow either an upper (abovethearrowrest)orlower(belowthegrip)mounting,MartinArchery recommends the uppermounting position on allFuzionsinglecammodels.

SETTING DRAW LENGTHZ™ Cams and Mini Z™ Cams TheZ™Cam uses draw lengthmodules to adjust thedraw length.The size of eachmodule is designated by anumber followed by an 'X'.Thesemodules are sized from2X to 9X.The9Xmakes the longest draw and the lengthdecreases one inch for each number.To change the drawlength on these cams, simply remove the two screws holding themodule to thecam.Takea lookat themodule numberandselectanewmodulethatwillgiveyouthecor-rectdrawlength.

REPLACING THE STRINGS Shouldyourstringneedreplacing, it isbest togotoyourMartindealerandhave itexpertlydone.Itisrecommendedthatyoureplaceyourstringonceayearoranytimeitshowswear.Alwaysbesurethatthestringyoureplaceitwithisthecorrectlengthandmaterialforyourbow.

CARE AND STORAGE When properly cared for, your new Martin bow will give you years of trouble-free service.When your bow is new it will require no lubrication.Overtime youmay need to lubricate your cams to guard against friction and noise.Use adry lubrication such asTeflon spray powderor graphite powder.Donot usewetoroily lubrication.Using awet type lubricationwill attract grit and dust thatmay cause prematurewearinwheelbushings. A good rule of thumbwhen caring for your bow is to keep it as comfortable asyou are. If it is too hot for you, it is too hot for your bow. If it getswet, dry it offcompletely. Periodically clean your bowwith a wet rag andmild soap to removemud or dust (caution: do not store until completely dry). Prolonged exposure to extreme heatmay cause failure in your bow limbs and excessive stretch in your harness system. Itwill not hurt your bow if it is rained onwhile shooting, butmakesure it is completely dry before storing in a bow case to guard against rust or corrosion.

SETTING ARROW REST POSITION Afteryourarrowrest is installedonyourbow,youwillneedto set the rest to the best centered location to begin tuning.The easiestway to do this is to visually align the bowstring inthe center of the grip section. If you are shooting your bowwith a release aid, the prongs or blade of your shoot-throughrestwill need to be centeredwith the bow string.During tun-ing, your arrowrestmayneed tobemoved inorout from it’scenteredlocation.Thisisnormalbecausedifferentshootersapply different pressures to the bow. Finger shooterswill need to position the rest so that the point is about 1/8” outside thestring.This is to compensate for the horizontal bending of thearrowuponrelease.Anarrowrestthatprovidessomesidesup-port, such as a cushionbutton, for the arrow is best for finger shooters.

SETTING NOCK POINT Place a bow square on the string and slide the square downuntil it rests on your arrow rest.Then place amoveable nocksetonthestring.Usingthemeasuringscaleonthebowsquare,set the nock set at the proper location on the string.A good startingpointforfingershootingis1/4”high,measuringfromthebottomofthenocksetto90°onthebowstring.Startat¼”highifyouareusingareleaseaid.Ifyoudonothaveabowsquare,youcansnapanarrowonthestringandvisuallylevelthearrow.Thencrimpyournockset.Inapinch,thiswillgetyoutoagoodstartinglocation.

To begin paper tuning, set up a frame or rackwith paper suspended from theframe. Position the frame far enough away from your backstop so the arrow can completely clear the paper. Stand about ten feet from the paper andmake sureyour arrow is level as it flies through the paper. Fire a test shot and read the results. Compare the holes you havemade in the paper to the diagrams below. Proceduresfor correcting the tear are listed next to each diagram. Please note that tuning procedures recommended for finger shooting often differ from those used for release shooting.Youwill find that the arrow spine reaction is different for fingersand release, therefore, the procedures for correcting the different disturbances vary.
