Understanding recurve bow terminology and mea-

suring techniques is very important in setting

up your new bow. Please familiarize yourself

with the following terms and measurements.

Refer to them as needed. (Bow shown from

sight window side of bow.)

Hands down the winningest system in recent

history, Formula Series risers feature the

elongated Hoyt Paralever pocket system,

delivering unparalleled precision to limb-riser

alignment and a super-stable shooting platform.

When Hoyt invented the dovetail limb attachment

system more than 30 years ago, it was immediately

adopted as the international standard for recurves,

with all other companies copying this system.

However, three decades of experience have shown

one thing: No one does it like Hoyt.

IWARNING

READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE HANDLING OR USING YOUR HOYT BOW.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ARCHERY SAFETY.

Read and follow all warnings and guidelines for safe operating parameters at

www.hoyt.com/safetyandwarnings

The warnings contained within this owner’s manual were current at time of printing. For the most up

to date list of warnings please visit:

www.hoyt.com/safetyandwarnings

IWARNING:

Always read the warning labels and manufacturer’s instructions of all products be-

ing used in conjunction with a Hoyt bow, including but not limited to all archery accessories and

components directly attached to the bow or used in conjunction with the bow such as targets,

arrows, broadheads, release aids, etc.

IWARNING:

It is critical that your bow is set up and functioning within the bow’s required safe

operating parameters prior to use. Hoyt recommends that only a Genuine Hoyt Retailer setup

and inspect your archery equipment to ensure that it is set up within the bow’s safe operating

parameters. (see page 6 for deﬁnition of Hoyt Bow Safe Operating Parameters).

IWARNING:

Carefully inspect your bow before each use. Before you handle or shoot your bow,

carefully inspect the condition of your bow, accessories, arrows, and your release aid/ﬁnger

tab, to ensure they are in good and proper working condition. Any suspected damage to your

bow should be inspected by Hoyt or a Genuine Hoyt Retailer for possible repair or replacement.

IWARNING:

Before you handle or shoot your bow or other archery products, Hoyt recommends

that you be trained and instructed in proper use by a certiﬁed archery coach. Sources such as

USA Archery (www.teamusa.org/usa-archery/coach¬ing/ﬁnd-an-instructor-or-coach), the Na-

tional Field Archery Association (NFAA) https://www.nfaausa.com/state-organi¬zations, and

The Archery Trade Association (ATA) http://www.archery360.com/ have contact information

for certiﬁed archery coaches in your area. Other archery associations in your area or country

may also have suitable programs.

IWARNING:

An adult should always supervise minors when they are handling or shooting a bow.

IWARNING:

Never use alcohol or drugs while handling or shooting your bow.

IWARNING:

Always wear safety glasses when handling or shooting your bow.

IWARNING:

Always use a bowstringer when stringing or unstringing a recurve bow (see page 9

for shooting string installation).

WARNINGS

IWARNING:

Never let go of the bow handle while drawing the bow, holding the bow at full draw,

or shooting the bow. It is important that you are able to maintain a consistent and secure grip

on the bow handle without slippage of your hand on the bow grip. Use of items such as hand

lotions, sunscreens, and insect repellents may limit your ability to maintain control of the grip.

IWARNING:

Always ensure that the area around your bow is clear of any and all obstructions

to prevent items from being caught in the moving parts of the bow. When shooting your bow,

never wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other items worn on your body that may get caught in the

bow or bow string when the bow is shot.

IWARNING:

Never point or aim a bow at another person. Be sure of your target and what lies

beyond. Never shoot arrows straight up into the air. Make sure that the path from where you

are shooting to the target and beyond is free from people and obstructions. The view that you

see when looking through your sight while shooting (the sight picture) may not clearly show the

trajectory path of the arrow.

IWARNING:

Never dry ﬁre your bow. To dry ﬁre your bow, means to shoot the bow without an

arrow. Never try drawing a bow that is too heavy for your strength or that does not ﬁt your draw

length as this could lead to an unintentional dry ﬁre. A dry ﬁre could cause your bow to break

and cause death or serious injury to you or others. If your bow is dry-ﬁred there could be both

seen and unseen damage and it should be returned to Hoyt or taken to a Genuine Hoyt Retailer

for inspection before any further use.

IWARNING:

Never loosen your limb weight adjustment bolts (Tiller Bolts) more than 6 turns

from the bottomed-out position as it could cause the bow to violently disassemble.

IWARNING:

Do not perform any maintenance, adjustments, or have any work performed of any

kind on any part of your bow while drawing or during any other part of the shooting cycle. Do not

allow others to work on or touch any part of your bow during the shooting cycle.

IWARNING:

Never shoot a bow with the incorrect arrow size (spine) or the incorrect arrow

length. Shooting an incor-rect arrow size or length could cause your arrow to break and cause

serious injury to you or others. Refer to the speciﬁc arrow manufacturer’s arrow selection chart

to select the correct arrow size and length for your setup.

IWARNING:

Never shoot a damaged arrow. Before each shot, inspect your arrows for damage.

See the speciﬁc arrow manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on proper arrow inspection

methods. Discard all damaged arrows.

IWARNING:

Never mechanically alter or modify your bow. Drilling holes, cutting, ﬁling, or sand-

ing are examples of mechanically altering your bow which will likely cause the bow to break and

could cause death or serious injury.

IWARNING:

Never draw or shoot a bow with frayed, worn, or damaged strings as it could break.

Frayed, worn, or damaged bowstrings should be immediately replaced with a Hoyt Genuine

Recurve String. Carefully inspect the string each time before shooting your bow. Hoyt recom-

WARNINGS

mends that you replace your string when showing signs of wear or after two years, whichever

comes ﬁrst.

IWARNING:

Never draw or shoot your bow without all string accessories (kisser button, nock

points, string silencers) properly installed and secured to the string. Hoyt recommends that only

a Genuine Hoyt Retailer install all string accessories (see page 6 for deﬁnition of Hoyt Bow Safe

Operating Parameters).

IWARNING:

Never expose your string to sharp objects such as knives or broadheads, or direct

heat sources such as open ﬂame or extremely hot objects as they could easily cut or cause the

string to break.

IWARNING:

Only use Genuine Hoyt manufactured replacement parts. Only Hoyt or a Genuine

Hoyt Retailer should perform replacement of damaged parts.

IWARNING:

Never expose your bow to extreme heat or prolonged moisture. Damage can occur

to your bow from heat exposure, prolonged exposure to moisture and improper storage.

IWARNING:

This warning is given in compliance with California State Prop 65. This product

contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

IWARNING:

When handling and using a bow, including all stages of the bow being drawn to

full draw, the bowstring being released, or the bow being let down, the archer and all bystanders

must keep all body parts outside of the path of the bowstring and away from all moving parts.

REQUIRED SAFE OPERATING PARAMETERS

IWARNING:

It is critical that your bow is set up and functioning within the bow’s required safe

operating parameters prior to use. Hoyt recommends that only a Genuine Hoyt Retailer setup

and inspect your archery equipment to ensure that it is set up within the bow’s safe operating pa-

rameters. After your bow is set up within the bow’s required safe operating parameters, the bow

should be tuned for improved accuracy based on your shooting style and form, the arrow type

and size used, and all other accessories used. See page 18 for tips and basic tuning procedures.

LIMB WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT BOLT (TILLER BOLTS) SETTINGS

Some Hoyt Recurve bows have an adjustable limb system that allows

the bow’s peak draw weight to be adjusted within the speciﬁc bow’s

available range. Your bow’s peak draw weight can be adjusted within

the bow’s range by turning the bow’s top and bottom limb weight ad-

justment bolts equally (see photo A). If Tiller Bolt does not turn easily,

refer to the next section (Tiller Bold Lock-Down) before adjusting the

Tiller Bolt.

TILLER BOLT LOCK-DOWN PROCEDURE

Hoyt recurve risers are equipped with a locking tiller bolt feature to prevent the tiller bolt from

moving after you have it set in the desired position. Once you have your tiller bolt in the desired

position, follow the steps below to lock it down:

1. Hold the tiller bolt in place with a standard 3/16”

Allen Key.

2. Insert a long neck 3/16” Allen Key (provided

with your Hoyt riser) into the hole on the backside

of the riser, directly opposite the tiller bolt, until it

engages with the collet bolt or set screw, depend-

ing on exact bow model.

3. Tighten the collet bolt/set screw against the

tiller bolt by turning the long neck Allen Key in the

clockwise direction while holding the tiller bolt in

place (as described in step 1).

4. Once step 3 is complete the tiller bolt is locked

down and should not move.

To adjust or remove the Tiller Bolt, follow these steps:

1. Hold the tiller bolt in place with a standard 3/16” Allen Key.

2. Insert a long neck 3/16” Allen Key (provided with your Hoyt riser) into the hole on the backside

of the riser, directly opposite the tiller bolt, until it engages with the collet bolt or set screw, de-

pending on exact bow model.

3. Loosen the collet bolt/set screw by turning the long neck Allen Key in the counter clockwise

direction while holding the tiller bolt in place (as described in step 1).

4. Once step 3 is complete the tiller bolt is no longer locked down and can be adjusted or removed.

IWARNING:

Never loosen your limb weight adjustment bolts (Tiller Bolts) more than 6 turns

from the bottomed-out position as it could cause the bow to violently disassemble

REQUIRED SAFE OPERATING PARAMETERS

ATTACHED BOW ACCESSORIES

Your Hoyt bow is equipped with various accessory mounting locations to allow accessories

such as sights, quivers, arrow rests, and stabilizers to be attached to your bow. When attaching

an accessory to your bow, follow all accessory mounting and use instructions provided by the

accessory manufacturer. Ensure that all accessories are speciﬁcally right handed or left handed

to match your bow where applicable and that all mounting hardware is securely tightened. Ensure

that all attached accessories are clear of string and arrow ﬂight path when the bow is shot.

ARROW REST SETTING

There are many different arrow rest designs and styles. Ensure the arrow rest is right handed

or left handed based on your bow. On all Hoyt Recurve bows, arrow rests should be positioned

on your bow so that your arrow ﬂetchings completely clear the bow riser when the bow is shot.

Always follow and use the speciﬁc arrow rest manufacturer’s instructions for correctly setting

up the arrow rest for proper function and tuning.

ARROW LENGTH SETTING

For all Hoyt Recurve bows, the required safe operating length/

position of the arrow in relationship to the arrow rest when set-

up within the safe operating parameters is when the tip or end

of the arrow, measures a minimum of 1” measured from the

center of the rest mounting hole to the tip or end of the arrow

(see photo B). Draw lengths vary from person to person, there-

fore the same arrow might not be in the safe operation position

for all shooters.

NOCKING POINTS

All bows require the use of a nocking point device to prop-

erly locate the arrow onto the bow string in relationship to

the arrow rest. For all Hoyt Recurve bows, the required safe

operating position of the nocking point device is when the

arrow is attached to the bow string and resting on the arrow

rest, the arrow will be between 0” - 1/2” above square (see

photo C). Only use a high quality archery serving material

for installing a “tied-on” nocking point (see photo D for an

example of a “tied-on” nocking point).

OTHER STRING ACCESSORIES

Other string accessories such a string silencers, kisser but-

tons or any other devices attached to the bow string of your

bow must be installed in such a way that they cannot move

or come off of the bow string during shooting. Hoyt recom-

mends that only a Genuine Hoyt Retailer install and set-up

any string accessories on your Hoyt bow.

BOW LENGTH

Bow length is the distance from the tip of the top limb to the tip of the bottom limb of an unstrung

bow with the tape following the limbs and going straight across the riser. Depending on which riser

length and limb length you choose, you can tailor your bow to your specific needs. Refer to the

chart on the next page to determine your bow length.
