Basic Setup
Installing and Adjusting the Draw Stop.
There are a total of four parts to the Draw Stop assembly. A rubber cap, the
aluminum body of the Draw Stop, an 8/32 screw and an 8/32 hex nut. To install the stop,
place the hex nut in the track on the back side of the cam. To adjust the stop, draw the
bow back either by hand or in a scale/shooting machine. At full draw, slide the stop until it
contacts the face of the limb. Back the stop off of the limb 1/32” (appox.) to allow for the
rubber cap to be installed. Snug down the Draw Stop with the appropriate Hex head wrench,
and install the rubber cap over the Draw Stop.
Note: Some versions of the Acu-Trak and C.A.T. cams have numbered draw
stop tracks which have no correlation to the draw module number or draw module
position numbers.
Installing and Adjusting the STS
Most Martin bows are outfitted with an STS String Dampening unit, or are equipped to
accept one. This unit is installed in the 3/8” diameter hole located just below the grip and
is secured in place with the set screw intersecting this hole from the side of the riser. The
STS rod should be positioned so that the STS Bumper is nearly against the bowstring when
the bow is at rest. Excessive contact with the bowstring will prevent the STS Bumper from
performing effectively as a dampener, and may cause the Bumper to be pulled off by the
bowstring during the shot. A small gap (approximately 1/16”) should be allowed between the
bowstring and Bumper when the bow is at rest.
