Did you "Cycle" your new bow
Hey, I was reading in my owners manual about "cycling" you tow about 150 times before setting up peep sights etc.. I am assuming that they mean pulling it back and letting it back down by hand; did any of you actually do this? By my calculations that would be about 10,500 pounds. I guess that would train my arm and give me something to do until my sight shows up.[:'(]

I believe by cycling they mean shooting. Shooting the bow before setting everything up is a good idea, because we all know that even with the best materials the strings and cables need to settle in. You could set everything up first, but you would likely have to change things later.

I install the sight, rest ect... and eyeball the setup for proper arrow position. Then, I'll go shoot a dozen arrows and set a 20 yard pin,next I paper tune. I may have to make minor adjustments again later, but that's okay. I like shooting the bow as close to tuned as I can from the get go.
