Unfortunately many shops dont do that.īy the way, I would have checked a few hoyt bows for you with my torque wrench, and you could have torqued it up yourself, but all my tools are 30 miles away right now. Afterall, the bow is just being mass-assembled at a factory. The dealers are supposed to inspect and break-down the bows to check them before they sell them. Bows come from Hoyt like that sometimes, so it may not have been right in the first place. Just so you know, this isnt a major problem and it shouldnt cost you much if anything. At least you had the sense to ask about it before you put 100 shots through it. Im positive that nothing broke so, you did alright. Trying to learn to do your own work is not always easy, sometimes something breaks. Good luck, hope all is well with the bow.-Mattĭont worry about it QT, everyone makes mistakes. If you are still unclear on what screws are what, have them go over it with you. My bet is that you undid the pocket to riser connection and that you need to get it torqued back up at the shop. I think if Hoyt "ridged" them, it would serve a much better purpose. To be perfectly honest, you can change the draw weight without loosening the weight lock screws, it will be harder to do, but Ive been a dunder head and forgotten to undo them once or twice and they honestly dont do all that much. Also, make sure to turn the limb bolts equally, top and bottom. 5 turns should equal about a 10 pound drop in draw weight, but not every bow setup is the same so check it with a bow-scale. Hopefully you didnt strip them, (unfortunately its not hard to do).Īfter you have loosened the weight locking screws, you may turn the limb bolt counter clockwise to lower the poundage. DONT shoot it without them being checked first though, as you could do serious damage. If you think you undid those, bring it to a shop as they will know what to torque it back up to. They have to be torqued to a certain weight and should NOT be played with. They use a smaller size allen head, and are connected. They are at the back of the riser and connect the pocket to the riser. I fear you may have loosened the pivot point screws. They are the same size allen wrench that the limb bolts are. Unless you have an older Hoyt hunting bow with only one side weight locking screws. There are four total, two on the top limb pocket and two on the bottom. You are turning the weight locking screws first right? The ones on the side of the riser. Just to make sure we are talking about the same stuff here. I'm going to wait to draw it again and shoot it until i hear what you guys have to say. well, i just want to make sure that my not getting both those nuts on the sides loosend isn't causing any pressures on the limbs or anything that will break them. then i drew the bow once, and it felt easier to draw than before i increased the weight, and 3 turns would increase it alot (wouldn't it?). so i figured i'd try to tighten down the main weight bolts, and i tighted them all the way as tight as they could go, was probably 3 turns for each one.
the instructions said to loosen the 2 bolts on the side (for each limb), well, one side on both limbs loosened, then when i tried to losen the other side the already loosend side just turned, then when i tried using 2 wrenches or whatever it wouldn't turn.
#Hoyt carbon element manual
Today I decided to turn my draw weight up a little bit so i got out my owners manual and read it to make sure i was doing it right ect and i just want to make sure i didn't do anything wrong thats going to break it.
