...GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Always inspect your bow thoroughly before every shooting session to ensure that it is in good working order. Check for worn or missing components and have them replaced when necessary.
• Inspect your arrows to ensure that they are straight and that each nock is in good condition. A
cracked nock can break when fired from the bow. Failure to do so could result in injury or damage and
will void the warranty. For this bow, we recommend 28-30’’ aluminum or carbon arrows. Using anthing
else could cause the bow to “dry fire.” This can cause injury to the archery and will damage the bow.
• When you are purchasing your arrows for the Sergeant, review the selection chart from the arrow
manufacturer and select the correct arrows for your compound bow. Always use an arrow that meets
the draw weight
...BOW MAINTENANCE
• Make sure to keep the synthetic cables waxed. Apply bow string wax to your synthetic cables and
string before each shooting session. DO NOT WAX THE SERVING
• Strings and cables should be replaced periodically. It is recommended that the string and cables be
replaced every 5,000 shots/1-full year. Service should only be performed by a certified bow tech.
• Always store your bow in a cool/dry place.
• Properly maintaining your bow will give you many years of use.
...SAFETY
As with any weapon, safety should be of the utmost priority. Make sure to use your common sense. Never use your
compound bow unless you have had the proper instruction, doing so can result in serious injury.
• Never shoot your bow without an arrow that has been properly nocked on the string. This will cause
a dry fire and can lead to serious injury.
• Always make sure that you know what lies behind your target. Never point your weapon at anything
that you do not plan to shoot. Arrows travel fast and have a lot of power.
• If you draw your bow and you need to let it down, make sure that you do so in a careful manner.
Make sure to keep your head and face out of the way so you do not get hit with an accessory/ the
bow itself.
• Never draw a bow that is outside of your comfort level.
• Modifying the bow in any way (i.e. drilling extra holes, adjustments to weight or length) will void the
warranty and can present safety issues.
• Remember, most adjustments to your Sergeant Compound Bow should be made on a bow press. It
is not recommended that you make these adjustments at home.
Nocking Point
Finger Shooters: For the initial setting,
make sure to install the nocking point
on the bowstring app. 5/16’’ plus the
width of the arrow above a point where
a horizontal line from the rest intersects
the string.
Release-Aid Shooters: Install the nocking
point the width of the arrow above a
point where the horizontal line from the
rest intersects the string. When the arrow is in position on the rest, the arrow
nock should fit snug against the bottom
of the nocking point.
...THE SETUP
Arrow Rest Adjustment
The in/out position of the arrow rest
should be adjusted so that the arrow is in
alignment with the string when shooting
with a release aid. The arrow tip should
be 1/2 shaft diameter to a full shaft diameter to the left on a right-handed bow
(opposite for left-handed bows) when
shooting fingers.
Cable Guard Adjustment
The purpose of the cable guard is to
hold the cable out of the path of the
arrows. When adjusting the angle of
the cable guard, adjust it so the cables
just clear the arrow vanes. On one-cam
