Default RE: Help With My Muzzy Zero Effect

I agree with nub. I don’t think the mounting position should have too much to do with your problem. I just recently installed mine on my Ultra Max. With the Ultra Max’s very low brace height (lack of room between the cables and the riser) I realized the different mounting holes for the pivot arm and hook are, for the most part, to accommodate the various bow designs. Eric from Muzzy actually gave me a tip, before my purchase, as to the proper mounting holes for my bow. My mounting arm is in the middle hole and my hook is mounted in the hole closest to the bow. The hook just clears the back of the bracket and gives me the most clearance between my cables vs. any other combination of mounting holes.

Now with that said, beside the brace height difference, an even bigger difference between our bows is the amount of limb travel. The limb travel effects how much the cable slide moves and the cable slide effects how far the hook will move. Unlike your bow, mine has a lot of limb movement thus my hooks moves a lot. My hook rests below the plane of my arrow shelf yet will raise the arrow above the burger button hole. Your chosen mounting holes will slightly affect the travel distance of your hook but in this situation the adjustments that give the “best bang for the buck” are achieved in the draw stop screw and the turnbuckle sleeve.

My suggestion….1. Check your center shot. 2. Check the angle of the arrow to the string, 90 degrees to the string maybe even a little nock high. 3. Make sure your stop pin is contacting the stop plate prior to entering the valley. 4. Make sure your hook is moving enough to clear the vanes on the bottom.

Make sure to rotate the hook so it straight up and down when at full draw and leaning back towards you when in the resting position. For my bow this doesn’t matter but for bows with less limb movement this will give you max clearance on the bottom.

Good Luck,
Toby
