Sergeant Compound Bow Package Manual:
The Sergeant Compound Bow was made with the shooters in mind! The New 2015, SAS Sergeant 55 lbs Compound Bow gives shooters the highest quality gear to hit the field with confidence. This archery/hunting bow is quickly becoming one of the hottest sellers on the market. The bow features a 40.5” axle to axle,a draw length of 29” and shoots 235 feet per second!. This bow is a compact powerhouse! The CNC machined twin cams make this bow one of the smoothest that we have ever shot. Given that this bow has twin cams, there is also very little "creep" when you are getting ready to let your arrows fly. This compound bow has a strong piece-layered limb that is used to draw weights from 55 lbs. That's right; this bow is meant to be with you for many years to come. And the package comes with everything you need to start with.

...BOW MAINTENANCE
• Always inspect your bow thoroughly before every shooting session to ensure that it is in good work-
ing order. Check for worn or missing components and have them replaced when necessary.
• Inspect your arrows to ensure that they are straight and that each nock is in good condition. A
cracked nock can break when fired from the bow. Failure to do so could result in injury or damage and
will void the warranty. For this bow, we recommend 28-30’’aluminum or carbon arrows. Using anthing
else could cause the bow to“dry fire.”This can cause injury to the archery and will damage the bow.
• When you are purchasing your arrows for the Sergeant, review the selection chart from the arrow
manufacturer and select the correct arrows for your compound bow. Always use an arrow that meets
the draw weight
• Make sure to keep the synthetic cables waxed. Apply bow string wax to your synthetic cables and
string before each shooting session. DO NOT WAX THE SERVING.
• Strings and cables should be replaced periodically. It is recommended that the string and cables be
replaced every 5,000 shots/1-full year. Service should only be performed by a certified bow tech.
• Always store your bow in a cool/dry place.
• Properly maintaining your bow will give you many years of use.
...SAFETY
Aswithanyweapon,safetyshouldbeoftheutmostpriority.Makesuretouseyourcommonsense.Neveruseyour
compoundbowunlessyouhavehadtheproperinstruction,doingsocanresultinseriousinjury.
• Never shoot your bow without an arrow that has been properly nocked on the string. This will cause
a dry fire and can lead to serious injury.
• Always make sure that you know what lies behind your target. Never point your weapon at anything
that you do not plan to shoot. Arrows travel fast and have a lot of power.
• If you draw your bow and you need to let it down, make sure that you do so in a careful manner.
Make sure to keep your head and face out of the way so you do not get hit with an accessory/ the
bow itself.
• Never draw a bow that is outside of your comfort level.
• Modifying the bow in any way (i.e. drilling extra holes, adjustments to weight or length) will void the
warranty and can present safety issues.
• Remember, most adjustments to your Sergeant Compound Bow should be made on a bow press. It
is not recommended that you make these adjustments at home.
5. ...THE SETUP
Nocking Point
Sight Adjustment
Arrow Rest Adjustment
Cable Guard Adjustment
Finger Shooters: For the initial setting,
make sure to install the nocking point
on the bowstring app. 5/16’’plus the
width of the arrow above a point where
a horizontal line from the rest intersects
the string.
Release-Aid Shooters: Install the nocking
point the width of the arrow above a
point where the horizontal line from the
rest intersects the string. When the ar-
row is in position on the rest, the arrow
nock should fit snug against the bottom
of the nocking point.
When adjusting the sight pin locations,
always remember to follow the group.
That is, if the shot group is to the left of
the target, move the sight pins to the left.
If the shot group is low, then make sure
that you move the sight pins down.
The in/out position of the arrow rest
should be adjusted so that the arrow is in
alignment with the string when shooting
with a release aid. The arrow tip should
be 1/2 shaft diameter to a full shaft di-
ameter to the left on a right-handed bow
(opposite for left-handed bows) when
shooting fingers.
The purpose of the cable guard is to
hold the cable out of the path of the
arrows. When adjusting the angle of
the cable guard, adjust it so the cables
just clear the arrow vanes. On one-cam
bows, using an offset cable guard rod,
adjustments to the cable guard must
be done with the rod in the up position
(app. 1 o’clock). Excessive arrow clear-
ance may cause the cables to track in-
correctly on the wheels and cause seri-
ous personal injury and/or damage to
the bow.
6. Take out the screws that are already in the pre-fabricat-
ed holes on the riser to instal the cable guard. Use the
Allen wrench that is included.
Next get the arrow rest and attach it to the prefabricat-
ed hole on the outside of the riser
Optimal position should look similar to this figure Attach the 3-Pin Sight onto the 2 pre-fabricated holes
on the outside of the riser
Screw it in and adjust it to your preferences
Put on the cable guard slide and attach it to the cables.
This keeps them out of the way of your flight path.
7. Attach the mounting bracket onto the two smaller
holes of the 3-pin sight, with the lever pointing towards
you.
There are two levels on this sight to accommodate dif-
ferent shooters. Adjust to your prefrence.
Screw the adapter onto the quiver itself and slide it into
place
Once it slides all the way through pull the lever down
and you are ready to shoot.
Optimal position should look similar to this picture
