Instructions
STEP 1: Measure the bow’s axle-to-axle length
The first step towards discovering the center of your compound bow is to measure the axle-to-axle length. This is the distance from the pivot point of each cam, or from axle to axle. To locate the center of the bow, divide this length by two.
STEP 2: Draw a line on the bow
After taking the measurement, next draw a line down the length of the bow that starts from the original measurement and ends where the measurement is halved. This will be the center of your bow. Mark the one-half point with a permanent marker.
STEP 3: Find the bow’s center point
Once the line is drawn, use a straightedge, such as a ruler or a carpenter’s square to trace the arrow rest outline and to identify the point that crosses your line in the exact center of the bow. This is the center point of your bow.
STEP 4: Align the arrow rest
Once the center point is identified, you can use it as a reference point to adjust or align the arrow rest. This is important because the rest must also be in the exact center of the bow in order for the arrow to fly straight. Make sure the rest is aligned in the same direction as the riser of the bow and then tighten it into place using the appropriate tools.
STEP 5: Adjust the sight window
Finally, use the center mark of the bow to align the sight window. This is the window in the middle of the bow that is used for sighting. This must also be aligned perfectly for accurate shooting. After it is aligned, adjust the pins or optics to the desired positions and tighten it into place.
Now that you have completed all the steps outlined, your compound bow is now in proper form and ready to use. Center shot accuracy is a key factor in getting the most out of your compound bow shooting experience. By following these simple steps, you can easily and quickly adjust the center of your bow, allowing you to get the most out of the bow.
