How to Adjust a PSE Bow

Most Precision Shooting Equipment (pse-archery.com) bows use an adjustable connector system on the pulley wheels so that archers can quickly adjust the draw length on their bows. Draw length and draw weight are the two factors that contribute to arrow speed. The longer the bow's draw the greater the bow's power stroke and the more energy the bow will transfer to the arrow and thus the target. Greater bow speeds create more power to take down larger game or fire the bow over greater distances.

Instructions

      Lock the pulleys in place. Have an assistant place an 8-penny nail in the small round hole at the bottom of each pulley wheel.

    • 3

      Slowly release the bow string pressure, under control to make sure the nails hold.

    • 4

      Unhook the bowstring end loops from the metal string connectors on the pulley wheels. Slide the connectors out of the pulley wheels and out and away from the bow limbs. Adjust the connectors, select a higher hole position for a shorter draw length or select a lower hole position for a longer draw length.
