INITIAL BOW SETUP
Nocking Point and Nock Adjustment
Now that the initial centershot setting is
complete, you need to verify your arrow nocking
point. Install the nocking point or string loop on
the bowstring so that when an arrow is nocked it
creates a 90 degree angle to the string. Another
option is to use a process similar to the one used
to determine centershot. With an arrow in the
rest and nocked on the string, firmly hold
another arrow against the shelf of the riser as
illustrated. Look down the arrows and verify that
the arrows are parallel. In other words, the
spacing between the two arrows should be the
same along the entire length of the arrows. If not,
adjust your nocking point up or down to correct.
At this time, adjust arrow fletch position to
correspond with the arrow rest you are using.
Such adjustments are done by simply rotating or
replacing the arrow’s nock. Carefully position the
nock to provide proper fletch clearance through
the arrow rest. Your local Bear Archery dealer
can show you how to do this or can provide the
service for you.
Install All Accessories
After your arrow rest and nocking point are
installed correctly you will need to install all other
accessories such as sights, quivers, silencers, peep
sights, stabilizers, etc. Before mounting ANY
accessories to the limbs, Refer to page 3 for
important limb information.
