RE: The perils of being a bow dummy
Jeff, if you have the clamp, dude....it's really very simple. Attach the clamp to your down pulling buss cable, below where the cables cross each other. Install your rest, set for centershot and level, all that good stuff. Then run the cable through the clamp and tighten.
Draw the bow. Did the rest come up at the right time? Did it come up all the way? If it didn't come up all the way, let 'er down, and tighten the cord. Repeat. If it came up too early, you'll know, it will feel like you're pulling against something.....Let 'er down, and allow some slack in the cord. Repeat.
Now, if you don't want to use the clamp, that requires a little more work, and a bow press. It's still not difficult, but the clamp is quicker and easier, and possible w/out a press.
