The Rotating ModSystem makes this feature possible.By simply rotating the module clockwise or counterclockwise, your drawlength can be adjusted in 1/2 inchincrements.OverDrive BinaryCam System models(RPM 360, Experience, Carbon OverDrive,Insanity CPXL, and Specialist)Refer to Figure 1 and Charts 1 & 21. You will need to press your bow,in some settings, to adjust the drawlength on bows with the OverdriveBinary Cam System. BOWTECH recommends that you only use a limb tippress to service your bow and thatyou take your bow to your AuthorizedBOWTECH Dealer for adjustment ofyour bow’s draw length.2. Once the bow is in the press andthe tension on the string and cableshas been relieved, use a 9/64 inch hexwrench to remove the module screwsthat attach the modules to the cams.3. Notice the indexing post on themodule and the numbered slots in thecam. All bows are factory preset to a29 inch draw length, with the indexingpost positioned in the correspondingnumbered slot. The lowest numberedslot corresponds to the longest drawlength setting.4. To lengthen the draw length, rotatethe module so that the indexing postis placed in a lower numbered slot. Forexample, if an Experience was shippedwith the indexing post in the #5 slot at29 inches of draw length, you wouldplace it in the #1 slot for a 31 inchdraw length.5.
