2004 Compound Bow Manual

The Tru-ARC Cams
  The Tru-ARC is a very unique cam system. It is technically a Hybrid Cam and it is a blend of a Dual Cam system and a Single Cam system. It has the straight and level nock travel of a Dual Cam and the timing simplicity of Single Cams. It is a very simple system to set up and it is very easy to shoot. See the following guide for complete set up and tuning of the Tru-Arc System.



 
 
CHANGING THE DRAW  
   Tru-ARC cams are different from any other cam on the market. The thing that makes them special is when you move the modules, they automatically adjust the rotation of the cams for peak performance and optimum nock travel condition at each individual draw length.
  Your Tru-ARC cam comes with all the modules you need to cover all of the available draw lengths. You have a Long module marked with an L-(letoff) and a Short module marked with an S-(letoff). Consult the module chart at your local dealer or at www.martinarchery.com to see which mod you need to fit your specific draw length.
  You will need to put your bow in a bow press and relax the strings and cables before adjusting the draw length.   NOTE: Back your bow off to the minimum weight setting before pressing. This will put less stress on the bow and make your adjustments easier to accomplish. To move the modules, you will need to remove or loosen the mod screws and rotate the mod to the proper letter. Higher letters give the longer draw lengths.
  TIP: for optimum performance, both modules need to be in the same setting. However, if you need an additional 1/4" draw adjustment, you can move the upper module up or down ONE setting from the actual letter that the bottom is set. This does compromise performance slightly, but it is a great way to tweak the draw that last little bit if needed.

STRING INSTALLATION AND CAM ROTATION
 
Refer to the diagram on the right for the proper string configuration. Proper string lengths for your model may be found on our web site or at your local dealer. Your cam rotation is pre-set at the factory and should not need adjusting, but refer to the position of the cams to the left. This is the optimum rotation. If it is other than what you see here, check your string lengths.
