Adjusting Let Off on Elite Archery's Tri-Track Cam System

Your elite bows that have the new tri track cam system and the Versa mods are going to come from the factory. Most of the hunting bows are going to come shipped at 28 inches for draw length. The target bows, like the big result is going to come shipped in a number five position, which makes it a 29 inch bow. Obviously, you're going to have to make some adjustments to get your draw length correct. But all that being said, your cable stops will come pre installed. They're always on this mod. If you want to shoot the limb stops, those are included with your bow as an option. But your let off is actually. If you're pulling 70 pounds and you have your cable stops in a 90% let off position, you're only holding 10% of that peak weight. So you're actually holding about 7 pounds if you want more than that. These are perfectly adjustable. If you don't like the cable stop feel, we include the limb stop so you can get that typical elite feel that you've had on the older solid limb bows. If you like that solid back wall, the limb stops are an option. I'm going to show you how to adjust all of them and what to expect. The cable stops, like I said, come installed out of the box on these tri track cams. You're going to have one on each end and they need to both be adjusted equally all the way in toward the cam. You can see this mod or this stop is sitting flush on the mod that's going to be the highest let off position, meaning that cam has to rotate the farthest it can roll over before it hits the cable. So you're getting the most rotation out of the cam, giving you the highest percentage of let off. So we would call that 90% right there. These bows are tested in an 80%, which is two notches out for all your IBO specs. When we say a bow shoots 330 foot per second, we test it in an 80% position. But if you want to hold the least amount of weight at full draw, you'll want to run these back in all the way up in the 90% position. So you're going to need a T15 Torx wrench. You'll have to loosen this screw right here. There's a little Torx head right there, and you'll need to loosen that. You might have to pop that cable stop loose. It compresses on there. But there's a track underneath there that you can slide that in and you can run it to the next position out. It'll be like 91 position out would be like 85. Your next position would be 80. That's where the bows are tested at. And if you want to get to the most holding weight possible with the cable stops installed, you would run it all the way out to the fourth position, which is mathematically going to give you about 75%. So whatever you do to one cam, you definitely want to do to the other. So I go down here, loosen the same T15 screw. You might have to pop it in the track just a little bit to break it loose. And then slide that all the way out to the fourth position. Make sure you snug it back down. Both of those as far out as they go from the mod are going to give you the most holding weight. That is the least amount of let off or the lowest percentage of let off. And the most holding weight, typically a bow like we said 70 pound bow at 90%, you would be holding 7 pounds. Obviously. Do the math. You're going to hold maybe 9 pounds at the 85%. You may hold 11 pounds at 80%. You might hold 12 or 13 pounds at your 75%. But you have easy, quick adjustments for your holding weight to get a custom feel if you want to be able to hold it full draw for a long amount of time. If you're holding back on a deer running in a 90% position, if you're shooting a back tension release or you're a target archer, you may want a little more holding weight. You may want some more pull on that. So you'll want to run a lower let off or a higher holding weight. That's an easy, quick way to get there. T15 Torx, wrench. Couple little positions, easy fix for a custom feel. Okay, let's talk about the limb stops. Now your cable stops are installed. We just showed you how to do the adjustments on that one little trick. There are five holes, and you can see here on the mod, there are five holes threaded, drilled, and tapped on the cable stop. That is where your limb stops are going to live. When you decide you want to put a limb stop on, or if you decide you want to try a different feel, you may. I think the cable stops are nice and strong, but some people think they're just a little bit spongy. Again, it's all customizable to your preference and what you like. So we're going to move back into the 90% position with the cable stop, pop it free, slide it on the track. We're getting it back to where we started. Now. You obviously, like I said, you've got five holes here that you can run your limb stops in. If you try to run your limb stop in the very first hole, which would give you the highest let off position, meaning the cam would have to rotate around the farthest before it hit the limb pad. If you start in the first or second hole, your cable stop is likely to hit your cable before the limb stop impacts the pad. You don't want to keep pulling through the cable stop until your limb stop hits the pad. That's a no no. You're going to see a lot of inconsistencies. So folks out there that are trying to get them to hit the same shoot, your cable stop and your limb stop. There's really only one position that you can get close, but it's going to be a nightmare to try to do it. So I recommend choosing either cable or limb. And then the first hole you would start the limb stop in would be the third hole, the very middle hole on the cable stop. This screw just threads right in there. We'll do both cams. Whatever you do on one end, you have to do on the other. So I'm in the. I'm in the third hole, the middle hole on the bottom. You want to snug that down. You don't need to over tighten it. You just want to make sure you got good contact. There's a loctite patch on the screw, so once you put it in, it shouldn't vibrate loose. Whatever I did on the bottom, I want a mirror image on the top. So I'm going to put this in the third hole as well. And this is really going to be my highest let off position for limb stops. Because. Because like I said, if you try to go in the first hole or second hole, your cable stop is going to hit the cable before the limb stop impacts the pad. So I'm going to call the third hole your highest let off position with cable stops. So we'll see where we're at here. That should definitely hit the limb stop. Yes. Limb stops in contact. If you want to adjust your feel or your let off. With the limb stops installed, you have actually more adjustment than you did with the cables. Cable stops give you four slots. You have those four slots on the cable stop that you can move and then another two or three, four holes that you can utilize. So you have literally 17 or 18 positions you can run your limb stop in to get a custom feel. If you want to change that to increase your holding weight, take your limb stop back out. You can move it to the very next hole. It's going to stop the cam just a little bit short. You can go in the first hole to give you the highest let off in the number one position, or you can take the limb stop completely out. Go back to your T15, move the cable stop out one position, slide it out one notch, lock it back down. Now I have four, at least four new holes and potentially five new holes to try my limb stop again. So you can see whatever I do on the top, I want to do on the bottom. But you can see with the cable stop and or the limb stop. You have tons of adjustment to get the holding weight, to get the feel, to get the let off that you desire.
