How to Adjust the Draw Length on a Mathews DXT

Mathews Bows produces compound hunting bows with a system of proprietary adjustments. All Mathews bows, including the DXT, use the SphereLock dial. This dial helps increase or reduce the draw length on the bow strings, allowing you to gain a custom fit for your individual draw length. Have a friend help you get your accurate draw length, then make the Mathews DXT bow adjustment.

Instructions

    • 1

      Give the friend the tape measure while you stand up straight with arms extended. Measure in inches from hand to hand as you stand up with your arms out.

    • 2

      Add two inches to your measurement and divide the total by 2.5. For example, if you have a measured arm length of 60, add 2 for 62. Divide 62 by 2.5 for a result of 24.8 inches. This is your arrow length, and the draw needs to be adjusted accordingly.

    • 3

      Place the Allen wrench into the SphereLock dial on the upper limb of the bow. Find it on the end where it meets the main shaft. Adjust the dial clockwise to reduce the draw length. If you need the length longer, turn it counterclockwise.

    • 4

      Test your adjusted draw length. Stand in the firing stance. Pull the string back as if you are ready to shoot.

    • 5

      Pull the string back to your lower jaw/chin. If the draw length is correct, the apex is at the jawline. If too short, or there is slack left in the string, readjust at the SphereLock.
