  • How to tune a Hoyt compound bow. This video covers tiller, draw stop timing, paper tuning, cam lean, peep sight alignment, and more.
    www.seansoutdo...
    When I initially filmed this, I showed one thing but reversed the terminology of the cables accidentally. I then corrected it with text cards that UA-cam no longer supports. What I refer to as the Buss cable is actually the control cable. I apologize for switching the wording.

    I have been researching compound bows for a couple weeks now and I have really gained a lot of knowledge from your video's. I'm looking at buying my very 1st bow this week, Hoyt Torrex XT, and I thank you for the time you have taken to make this video's. They have helped me tremendously!

      Hey Alfredo, could you tell me how you make that bowpress and the draw bord please ? Like you said , buying is more expensive. And here in my country (Belgium), the archeryshops don't have that. If we want to buy that, we must order it in the States. And then add the shipping costs, then it is a very expensive arch press and drawing board. If you could explain that, maybe with some photo's, so i could see it. www.walter.eeckels@gmail.com . Then i could let it make for me. Thanks Alfredo.

      so after watching your video i went and checked my hoyt defiant 34 and i found out that the bottom cam is under rotating also the tiller on the bottom is smaller by 1/8 . my draw weight is at 60 pounds ( limbs full screwed ). what i have to do is add a twist on the bass cable, and if i found that the draw weight went higher than 60 pounds then i have to take a twist from the control cable.or i can do the opposite add a twist on the control cable and if the weight goes more than 60 take a twist from the bass cable.is that correct?
      thanks in advance😊

  • @AntlerAssassinTakovich
    @AntlerAssassinTakovich 6 років тому +2

    On my experience tuning my hoyt bows to reduce cam lean is best done on a draw board, taking the cam lean out so that they are the straightest while at full draw not at rest. Which is usually done in the hour factory and fine tuned In your pro shop or home shop.

    • @seansoutdoors
      @seansoutdoors  6 років тому

      Okay, you put it on the draw board, but then what do you do to remove it?

    • @AntlerAssassinTakovich
      @AntlerAssassinTakovich 6 років тому

      Sean's Outdoor Adventures guess I should have clarified that. You’ll still add or remove twists in the cable. But based on the cam lean at full draw not at rest. Basically all my hoyt bows, if you look at them while at rest have some cam lean. But when I’m at full draw they are perfectly straight. Not saying wrong or right on the video. This is how they taught me to reduce it at Hoyt University. With cam & 1/2 cam lean or no cam lean at rest can be redundant if it isn’t straight at full draw.

    • @AntlerAssassinTakovich
      @AntlerAssassinTakovich 6 років тому

      I also do this using a hooter Shooter or similar device, So I can Eye the full draw lean or lack of while at full draw a little more closely.

    • @seansoutdoors
      @seansoutdoors  6 років тому

      Got ya. I just paper tune in that respect and ignore cam lean to some extent. I do that now after using Xpedition bows. Man, when it comes to the hybrid cam bow, Xpedition really has an amazing bow. Easiest bow I've ever tuned to get perfect arrow flight in a couple minutes ua-cam.com/video/ymuKegWPJ5I/v-deo.html
      Somehow they have a faster, smoother, and easier to tune bow than Hoyt. If Xpedition would only change that cable guard system then they'd really be the perfect hybrid cam bow.

  • @stevenwiseman2537
    @stevenwiseman2537 6 років тому

    I will do that , don't understand why my bow which wasn't cheap by no means is so difficult to tune with regards to draw stop and and cam timing .. I guess more expensive isn't always the better option with regards to tuning .. I thought hoyt would have been the better choice, thanks again for all do Sean, God bless you, I'll be in touch

    • @seansoutdoors
      @seansoutdoors  6 років тому +1

      Thanks, Steven. Best of luck with it. I try to not say it often, but I haven't liked Hoyts for a while now. After I shot and owned a few Xpedition, it just makes it hard to shoot a Hoyt. Xpedition just crushes Hoyt with the same cam system. If Hoyt was serious and smart like their tag line, they would look for ways to implement what Xpedition is doing with the same platform of a hybrid cam system. (Hoyt, if you are reading this comment, please start considering that if you haven' already. Xpedition has a smoother, faster, more tune-able bow than you.)

    Dear Sean. I have a carbon spyder turbo and it has 70 lb limbs on it. It measures 61-73 lbs. is that normal? Also the riser on these Hoyt's have a rubber guard around where we measure the nock point from the burger hole. Should I adjust the nock point high so the veins will clear the riser upon fire? Also I see the bottom stop is hitting about an eighth of an inch before the top. This means I need to take maybe 1 full twist out of the cable? Thanks a lot Sean. We don't have detailed technicians here in Ky. God bless you.

    Dear Sean, great video.
    Just bought a new hoyt nitrum turbo and I am still not getting proper arrow flight. The cam timing is pretty pot on. I keep on chasing my tail with adjustments with the rest during paper testing. The scary thing is that i am shooting bull's eye at 10, 20 and 30m so far but when i look down the bow setup, the arrow, string and sight are not aligned at all. I can only suspect a spine issue.
    Can you help here?

    Hello again Mr Seansoutdoor, thankyou very much for your info on cam or wheel lean.Well after twisted and untwisted on both yoke cables , the wheel on my solocam bow was perfectly straight. However Mr Seans how about yoke cable on my other two hoytbows which have a seperate yoke or "Y" that goes through the main buss cable.After twisted and untwisted the "Y" I still noticed there is a cam lean ! Do you agree that most bows with this type of buss cable , that is the separated yoke that goes throught the main buss cable have cam lean after shooting for a period of time? Need your ideas, suggestions and your expertise on how to correct this cam lean.Do u agree serving the tip at the "V" on the yoke say an inch can help? Thanks v much again for your feedback and God Bless You!

    I think that my cams are not rotating completely straight...i have a feeling that the cable-guard is pulling them too harsh sideways. Or maybe I have to shim my cams in order to straighten their path of rotation ;-)

      If you are on point at 20 and 30, and then it goes off if you move the rest as you have said, then maybe you are very slightly modifying your anchor without realizing it when you are at the longer distances. Pay close attention to where the sight housing rests within the peep sight at all of the distances, and see where the arrow lands. Also, pay close attention to your arm that holds the bow to notice if you are moving it even the slightest amount at the last minute during the release. Good luck and God bless you! Sean

    Dear Sean,
    one last issue with my Nitrum Turbo: I manage to get higher spined arrow (GT Velocity XT- 300) and i am still getting funny paper tears, typically fletching tearing on the LHS. Therefore it looks like spine is not the issue here. I swapped the spacer bushings on the bottom cam to try and get the string a bit more centered and this did not help much. Cam timing is perfect. Finally there is no consistency between the arrow tears; sometimes the arrow leaves the bow skewed to a high degree, some time to a lesser degree. Would the whisker biscuit arrow rest be the culprit and should i change to a drop rest OR could the nock be too tight and induce further trouble in? please help. Many thanks

    Hey Sean,
    When you got to the tiller part, yours was good so you just moved on. I've got a brand new Hoyt I'm trying to get setup. I noticed my tiller was off so I tried making some adjustments to see if I could get things to line up. I seem to have about 1/8" difference between the top and bottom limbs.
    One must've been turned more than the other, so I tightened both of the limb bolts down all the way. Still have that 1/8" difference between the two. Where do I go from here?

      how is your draw stop timing when it is at full draw?

    • @desertBirdDogs
      @desertBirdDogs 6 років тому

      Sean's Outdoor Adventures cams are in sync. I think I've got it figured out though. I was reading that sometimes on the cam and a half bows the cams are slightly different sizes/shapes so this will throw off a tiller measurement to the string.
      But what the tiller is measuring is whether or not the limbs are both at the same angle with the riser. So I ran a string from axle to axle and measured to the riser on each side. That got me an equal measurement.
      My bow is a 2017 Pro Defiant, it's hard for me to tell looking at it if the cams are different or not. What do you think?

    • @seansoutdoors
      @seansoutdoors  6 років тому

      I haven't tried to tune the newer Hoyts so maybe that's the case. As long as your draw stop timing is on and everything seems to be giving you good arrow flight then I'd say you are fine.

    Is it true that 8 turns is maximum for draw weight reduction? seems like a lot, and at 3 lbs per turn that equals 18 lbs?

    Hey Sean, i got 1 question. How much, in centimeters, must i set the tiller on my Hoyt XT 2000 ? And yes, it's a older bow, i know. But notice that i only shooting indoor at 18 and 25 meters.
    My arrows are Easton Triumph 9.3 carbon for 25 meters, and Easton aluminium 2315 for 18 meters. My drawweight is appox. 28 inch. And the plastic vanes are Bohning 2".
    The bow was set on 52 #, but i had a accident and my wrist was broken in 2 parts. Now i start shooting again after 6 months, but i have to decrease him to 34 #.

    Hey Sean, a buddy of mine just picked up a 2014 Hoyt Charger and the let off is insane. Too insane, to the point I think something is up. Is there a process to timing the cam and a half?

    • @ryangorman3061
      @ryangorman3061 9 років тому

      Hey Sean, I watched your video a few times over. You have great information, and it really helped get my Carbon Overdrive shooting bullets (if I could add a picture I'd show you). However, with the Hoyt Charger, there is only a draw stop on the bottom cam, which is making contact. Left to right is good, getting a high tear with a biscuit, arrow straight down berger hole with only a touch of a back end lift due to the d-loop. It is maybe a couple millimeters high. Do you think I should drop the d-loop to parallel? The lack of vertical adjustment on the biscuit is definitely annoying.
      Thanks for your help!

    For the cam timing portion of the video, you incorrectly stated which cables need twisting. If the top cam is under rotated as you show in the video, you should take twists out of the control cable or put twist in the buss cable. You stated that you should take twist out of the buss cable which is incorrect. However, when you showed taking twists out of the cables in the next scene while the bow was on the press, you took twists out of the control cable. I think this should be clarified.

    • @seansoutdoors
      @seansoutdoors  7 років тому

      Yeah, Chad, I had clarified that after I realized it after posting the video, and I put text cards up on the video to identify that, but UA-cam has since done away with those. I made a mention in the description section how I switched the terms accidentally. Maybe some day I will be able to etch some time into my schedule to re-do the video. God bless you.

    Hey Sean, I've watched your videos for awhile and i keep finding myself coming back to this particular video ,one because I shoot a hoyt , i have a couple questions regarding my particular hoyt, which is a 2007 Vulcan 500 , 33" axle to axle, draw length 28", set at 65lbs , i put new strings and cables on it last week ,got it timed and got the tiller to match both limbs , i put a QAD ultra rest on it a few years ago , before I replaced my strings I was getting a right tear through paper , after I replaced my strings I set my knock point at 90 degrees on the string , i was getting a high tear , my rest was all the up as far as it would go , so i lowered my knock point , shooting bullet holes through paper but i noticed the front of my arrow running up hill a bit , is this normal , sorry for all info , but i could really use some input since you shoot hoyts

    • @seansoutdoors
      @seansoutdoors  6 років тому

      No it is not normal. Check to see if the cable is going through the spot on the cam that it should. I believe back then they had a little hole in the cam that you should be able to see the cable through that hole. If your arrow is pointing up, your cam rotation may be off a little causing it to impact the flight. When you set the timing, did you tighten the limb bolts all the way down? If not, then you could have some rotation things a little out even if the stops are hitting in time. Basically, I'd tighten them all the way down and just check the draw stop timing (ignore tiller for now). Once all that is on, paper tune at peak weight. Then back it down to your desired weight, check the timing again, and then see if your are still hitting well through paper. (Sometimes with a hybrid cam the tiller could measure a little off depending on the situation because the cams are not identical. It really all depends, so the tiller isn't the absolute biggest concern with a hybrid cam.) Also, when paper tuning, move back and shoot at several distances to see if you are still getting bullets. Sometimes you can think you are getting bullet holes but it is just where you are standing the arrow is at a certain flex coming off of the bow. Also, make sure you have the right spined arrow for your setup. God bless ya.

      Hey Sean, just talked to Hoyt, tech said that after everything is said and done with arrow at 90 degrees with the bow string and cam draw stops hitting correctly and I'm still getting a nock high tear ,that I need to advance my top cam so the top draw STOP hits before the lower stop , does this sound accurate to you

    • @seansoutdoors
      @seansoutdoors  6 років тому

      Yeah that is one way to get good nock travel but it can also give you a less than desirable back wall. It will be softer and also you could experience variations depending on if you are pulling through to get the second stop to hit as well, or are just stopping at the first contact. That's also why I like the Xpedition hybrid cam system over the hoyts. With Hoyts you can't adjust for vertical nock travel and then move the draw stop pegs to compensate for the change like you can with the Xpedition bows ua-cam.com/video/ymuKegWPJ5I/v-deo.html. Although I haven't done it, I guess you could also try changing the tiller on the top limb and then readjusting the draw stop timing to hit dead on and see if that change in limb angle and cam angle will do it. Let me know what you do and what works for you. God bless ya.

    • @TheBlackicehunter
      @TheBlackicehunter 8 років тому

      Dear Sean,
      I suspected a underpinned arrow and i got GT arrows with a 300 spine. As per the GT spine table, since the bow is IBO in excess of 345 I should be using 300 spine with a 28-29inc DL with a 100gr tip. I am still getting this bloody tear with the point hitting RHS and a little bit on the lower side. I have been playing around with the different setups and could not get proper arrow flight. I also reduce the bow weight but didn't help much…
      As mentioned previously mentioned the timing between the cams is perfect. The only thing i could pick up is a slight lean in the top cam, i.e. the LHS limb is a little bit lower than the RHS. I will be doing the necessary for this in a near future. until then would you have any clue about what could be going wrong.
      many thanks

      Dear Sean, one last clarification: the string as it stands between the two cams is actually not in the centerline of the bow. its sits on the LHS of both thentop and the bottom cam, meaning that if the arrow is to be square with the entire bow, it would be a little bit onnthe LHS of the shelf- right?
