The Elite ember is packed with adjustability. One of the nice things about this bow is it can grow with you. It's a fully adjustable draw length from 15 to 29 inches, and also has a draw weight range of 10 to 60 pounds relative to your draw length. Today, I'm going to show you how easy it is to adjust all of those features. Your bow is going to come to you from the factory in the number five position, which means 25 inches of draw length. You can look on elitearchery.com and see the whole draw length spec chart so you know exactly what you want to set your bow to. We always recommend that you see your local elite retailer for help with adjustments. But if you're at home, you don't need a bow press. If you want to lengthen it just a little bit, you've grown a little bit. You want to increase your draw length, I'm going to show you how easy it is. You're going to need a T15 Torx wrench. And on each cam you have a rotating mod. There's two T15 screws. You're going to need to loosen the one in the track. Depending on where you want to adjust your draw length, you may just need to loosen this screw. But what we're going to do, we're going to completely take it out because we're going to move this bow to the number one position, which would make it a 29 inch bow. So take the first screw in the track completely out, and then you have to take the second mod screw completely out. As I said earlier, this bow comes from the factory in the number five position. You can see a little indicator line lined up with the number five. We're going to move it to the number one position, which will put this bow at 29 inches. Now, I want to rotate the mod all the way around to where it lines up exactly with number one. When I flip the cam back over, the very first hole right here lines up with the threads. And I want to reinstall that T15 screw when you're making your draw length adjustments. Once you reinstall your first screw, your second screw, the one that goes in the track, you want to go as far away from that first mod screw as you can. So whatever hole lines up in this track, that's the furthest position away is the correct hole for your new draw length, which is right here. Now, whatever you did on the top cam, you want to mirror image on the bottom cam. So we're going to take the track screw Completely out. We're going to remove the screw that holds it in the number five position. Now we're going to rotate the mod all the way around to the number one, flip it back over, reinstall the first screw in the very first hole there, and you'll know if you've got it right. You can look at your cams when you install that first screw, and you can see the mark is lined up here with number one. The mark is lined up here with number one. So you know you've got it right. And then go as far away as you can from the first screw you put it in. And it's just that easy. We just changed that bow from 25 inches to 29 inches in just a matter of seconds. If increasing the draw length by one inch at a time is too much for you, and you want to do half inch increments, instead of putting your indicator right on the number, you want to go between numbers. So I have this set on number one, currently 29 inches. If that's a little bit long for me, and I want to do 28 and a half, here's all you do. Remove the mod screw out of the hole, loosen the one in the track. You're going to want to slide your number from 1 to 1.5 or right between 1 and 2, and then reinstall your screws to get the indicator right between one and two. I have to move my first screw to the third position. And this is going to change for every draw length. You're just going to have to double check and make sure you have your indicator right where you want it for the draw length you're searching for. So I'm installing that screw back in number three. Want to snug back up my track screw. Whatever you do on one end, you do on the other. So we're going to flip this around, loosen the track screw, remove the first screw. We're going to rotate the mod to just between one and two, which should put that screw in the third hole down here. Reinstall your screw, and now we've quickly changed that from 29 to 28 and a half. So again, anytime you want to go in half inch increments, you go between the numbers. One's 29, two is 28. Right between them is 28 and a half. We talked about draw length, we talked about draw weight. When you get your elite ember out of the box, it comes with cable stops installed on the cam. We also send a limb stop option which will come around and hit the landing pads and give you a very positive, solid, consistent draw length. These are optional. You don't have to shoot them unless you want to. But if you've never shot them, you might want to install them and try it. I'll show you how. There's a contour. They only go one or the other, so you can't install it wrong. There's a contour on the backside here that's going to line up with these two little holes right here in the cam. The limb stops held by those two screws. So you're going to want to line up those two holes. Same T15 Torx head. Install both screws snugly. One stop will go on the top. That one's installed. The other stop will go on the bottom. Same two little holes right here. You'll follow the contour of the cam. You can install it wrong. You can install it wrong, but it's very easy to see how it goes. Snug these screws up and just that easy. You now have limb stops which you can see right here. They'll roll around, hit the limb pad, which gives you a very solid, consistent draw length. Another option in the adjustability of the ember. As you can see, there's a lot of adjustability and a lot of ways you can customize the ember bow to fit you. If you have any questions, we always recommend that you visit your local elite retailer or visit elitearchery.com.
