User Manual for Apexx Predator Bow

Quick guide from the manual

This guide provides essential maintenance and tuning procedures for the Apexx Predator bow. Regular maintenance is critical for safety and performance. Key procedures include inspecting the bow for wear, ensuring correct cam timing, and performing center shot tuning to ensure straight arrow flight.

Bow Inspection

Perform a thorough inspection of your bow to ensure all components are secure and in good condition:

• Limbs: Examine for cracks, nicks, dents, or delamination.
• Screws: Ensure all screws are tightened. Specific sizes include:
  • Limb Stops: 8-32 screw
  • Mod: 6-32 screw
  • Cable Rod: 8-32 screw
• Hardware: Check e-clips to ensure they are not missing or loose.
• Strings and Cables: Check for wear, wax the strings, and ensure the peep is tied securely.
• D-loop: Check for fraying; replace immediately if damaged.
• Cleaning: Wipe down the bow to remove dust and dirt accumulated during the hunting season.

Cam Timing

Proper cam timing is essential for accuracy, consistency, and efficiency. The Apexx Predator features a solid back wall with no "squish." When drawn, both top and bottom cams should rotate, and the limb stops should contact the limbs at full draw at the exact same time.

How to check and adjust:

1. Use a draw board paired with a bow scale for the most accurate results.
2. Alternatively, have someone observe the bow at full draw to see if limb stops hit simultaneously.
3. If timing is off, twist the cable on the side that is hitting early. Add a twist or two, recheck, and repeat until timing is correct.

Center Shot Tuning

A correctly tuned center shot ensures straight arrow flight. Follow this 3-step process:

1. Rough Tune: With the bow at rest, nock an arrow and measure the distance between the arrow and the end of the shelf. The center shot should be approximately 3/8” from the end of the shelf. Adjust the rest accordingly.
2. Paper Tune: Shoot through paper to observe arrow flight. Adjust the rest up or down to achieve a bullet hole (field tip and nock are even or have a slight point-up tear).
3. Walk Back Tune: Apply a vertical piece of tape to a target. Shoot at 20, 30, and 40 yards using the 20-yard pin. If groups drop vertically along the tape, the rest is tuned. If groups angle away, nudge the rest left or right until groups fall vertically.
