Your new Martin bow takes little setup to get started shooting. Please read and fa-
miliarize yourself with these starting procedures before shooting. Many of these
procedures may have been completed by your authorized Martin dealer. After
completing these simple steps, you will be more accurate and will have greater success
from the start. A careful and thorough initial setup will make the tuning process much easier.
Quick Arrow Rest and Nock Placement
You can quickly and easily set the position of your rest and nock
point using the rest mount holes in your bow. Your rest should sit level
with the two rest mount holes, or lock mount of your bow. (See graphic)
When the rest placement is correct, you can begin placing the nock set.
Place a nock loosely on the string and nock an arrow. Visually align the
arrow level with or slightly tail high of the rest mount holes.
When the correct height is set, crimp the nock set into place.
This will give you a good starting point to begin tuning your bow.
Measuring Draw Length
When your bow is at full draw, the apex of the
string should be near the corner of your mouth.
Draw length can easily be measured from the apex
of the string at full draw to the pivot point of the grip.
From that measurement add 1 ¾” and you will have
the A.M.O. standard draw length. All Martin Bows are
adjustable with the use of modules. Refer to the sec-
tion that covers your specic cam style for instruc-
tions on adjusting draw length.
Arrow Speed and String Accessories
Certain bowstring accessories including D-loops, string silencers, and peep sights, can reduce
arrow speed by as much 10-15 fps.
Changing Draw Weight
Martin bows have a fteen pound draw weight range. Using a 3/16” allen wrench ; you will turn
the limb bolts clockwise to add weight and turn counter clockwise to reduce weight. One complete
turn on each limb bolt provides about 3 pounds of adjustment.
TIP: Mark a line on each limb bolt in white-out or white paint marker to make it easier to keep
track of how far you are turning each bolt.
Note: Do not shoot your bow with the limb bolts more than 5 turns out from the riser.
Replacing The Strings
Should your string need replacing, it is best to go to your Martin dealer and have it done by
experts. Always be sure that the string you replace it with is of the correct length and material
for your bow. We recommend using Martin Hammerhead bow strings. String wear is not covered
by warranty.
