How to tune a Hoyt compound 

Yes

Great, enjoy it.

Im staying tuned in...God bless you brother!

👍

That’s great!

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.

Sure thing. Enjoy it

+seansoutdoor thank you. Merry Christmas

@@seansoutdoors signed up brother. You didn’t have to go back through all of them. There’s been many lol

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

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.

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.

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 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ymuKegWPJ5I.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.

Lol thanks

Yup, I agree.

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 RU-vid 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.

Sean, you did a good job with the video, I just wanted to make sure people weren't confused. I hope you didn't take offense to my comments. Keep up the good work.

No offense at all. I don't claim to be perfect and although I tried I still mixed up my terminology when filming. I wish it allowed you to edit a video once it is uploaded like this but it doesn't. Anyway, thanks for watching and God bless you.

Yes I have made a number of bow tuning videos. Some are in the playlist called archery tips and bow tuning on my channel and there are others in the archery for beginners playlist. I will be making more in the future as well. God bless

@@seansoutdoors , thanks for your prompt reply Sean, I don’t think there would be many of your videos that I haven’t watched. I’m just over 70, I was regarded as one of the best at my club. I gave it all up because of private circumstances nearly 15 years ago and now getting back into it. I don’t know how I was that good, there was no RU-vid back in the day your channel has been particularly good at jogging my memory and informing me of things I wasn’t aware off, I like your no nonsense approach. Again my thanks. I am non religious but may your god bless you and yours. Cheers.

@@stevetait2 Thanks so much, Steve! God bless you and welcome back to the sport.

You’re welcome!

There usually is some cam lean on the bottom one but you can modify the top can to achieve optimum performance. This means there could be some.cam lean depending on how the bow shoots.

@@seansoutdoors 👍thanks for the fast reply

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

You can try that and see what that gives you. Depending on how much weight change and change to draw length you may also need to add twist to the cables.

@@seansoutdoors alright I'll try that thanks 😊

Good luck with it.

👍

Lord, Jesus, please help Josh understand what to do to tune his bow, Amen.

@@seansoutdoors Thank you. Your videos are the best resource I've found so far

Thank you!!!!

It really all depends on the manufacturer

I usually keep the knock close to center. There have been times I've had to modify the tiller to get perfect arrow flight.

Ok

Website

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.)

Lol, that is too funny. Good to know. Glad it all worked out. God bless ya.

I don't currently have a video on a single cam tuning, and i don't have one to do as an example, but I will try to think of something to do for it. God bless you.

Depends on the brand

That's annoying.

@@seansoutdoors ever had this issue?

***** Hello and thankyou again Mr Seans for your prompt reply. I agreed there shouldn't any cam lean after adjusting either one of the yoke.l have done and corrected the cam lean on 3 bows already.All these bows have splited yoke on a continuously buss cable.However come to my older bows which have the separated yoke that runs through the main buss, I find difficulties adjusting cam lean here.In your opinion, Mr Seans, is it advisable to served the tip of 2 yokes together so that each yoke arm can b twist and untwist independently.Thankyou and also gratefully Mr Seans if u can make a video on "bottom Cam Lean".God bless you !

👍

Yes, I realized that later on after I posted the video which is why I explained it in the description section, but you are totally right. I called it by the wrong name. Sorry about that.

You just need the top and bottom tiller to match.

So the tiller must be equal, top & bottom ?

@@PopcornWalter yes

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!

Yes twisting the cable

I am not understanding your question.

ok

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

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?

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.

+seansoutdoor 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😊

Turn limb bolts

Dear Mathias, seeing that we share the same bow model could you confirm your bow weight, arrow spine and if your arrows are launching perfectly. Many thanks

Sorry if you misunderstood it for being an insult. More like the other way around :) would rather have that manly cheekbones than the opposite, and hey girls like sharp jawlines. Interesting story you told aswell, glad it worked out well. Be proud of that sharpness and that it has a story behind makes it even better man. Thanks for an informative video, had pressed the thumbs up because of that. Cheers from Sweden fellow bowyer

***** You are correct on that. Its hard to know wether people are being serious or not over the internet. Some smileys work but mine on the first comment wasnt clear enough :P Personally if I thought someone looked funny or w/e I would NOT write anything about it and insult the person, cause thats not who I am and what I like to do. But there are people that likes to insult people look etc and therefore, like you said, dont think before they write stuff. But like you said, you dont know me and therefore won't know in wich way I mean things :) Glad you wrote your first comment tho so I could clear my point.

👍

sorry....this is about the Ignite...not hoyts entire line.

Thanks for checking out my videos. I appreciate it. God bless you. www.amazon.com/shop/seansoutdooradventures www.seansoutdooradventures.com facebook.com/seansoutdoors/ instagram.com/seansoutdooradventures/

Sorry no one had an answer

You are welcome. Good luck

Sean thanks. My struggle is that I dont have a good press. Currently I use a portable press which is good for small jobs but just too timely for larger jobs. Again, i appreciate your feedback.

👍

👍

That is great!

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.

Sean's Outdoor Adventures thanks Sean I appreciate your response ,it has the Vector Cam & 1/2 , i will give it a try, i appreciate all you do for us , God bless you too

Thanks, Steven, God bless you too! Best of luck

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

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 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ymuKegWPJ5I.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.

Thank you I have a factor 34 I need to learn how to tune it I appreciate all your help

Thanks for checking out my videos. I appreciate it. God bless you. www.seansoutdooradventures.com facebook.com/seansoutdoors/ instagram.com/seansoutdooradventures/ www.amazon.com/shop/seansoutdooradventures

I did the tuning at peak weight prier to this phase of the video, which I talked about in the video, which is also why I was talking about peak weight in the past tense at 4:35, just saying. God bless ya.

Sean's Outdoor Adventures okay, good video looking forward to seeing new videos. thanks

Great, thanks. I'm uploading a video right now. God bless ya :-)

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

***** Many thanks Sean… will keep you posted. Cheers

+TheBlackicehunter 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?

👍

***** I am trying to tune my carbon element with the fuel cam. I have a little left cam lean. Center shot is perfect after walk back tuning. My fixed boradheads are hitting about 5 inches to the right of my field tips at 40 yards. Also I perform bare shaft tuning and my bare shaft is about 6 inches left of my fletched arrows at 20 yards. What would you try to make the fixed blade broadhead shoot closer of my field tipped arrows? I will appreciate any of your tips!. Do you thing i should start with correcting the Cam lean or adjust the rest to the right?,, Thank You!
