LOL, Yeah, that's quite the quandry...[8D] And believe it or not, both are in a position to know what they're speaking about....I'm gonna head over to the website and see if I can find something.....

I don't think you'll find it... they don't get that technical there. You'll have to talk to one of the techies on the phone... and they will talk to you. Snug... not firm.

Nope, I didn't, and you're right. They don't get very technical there, and that's ok. Not it's purpose.

P.S. I'm not a prostaffer.... just a Bowtech owner.[8D]

P.P.S. I'm sure that right now there are a lot of phone calls going on. LOL

Greg/mo has been with Bowtech for a while now and i assure you he does know what he is talking about. He has helped me with some questions with my Guardian as well. If you want to know adefinite answer go to the top of the page and under member list type in Bowtech_Shooter. There are a few closely related names, but his name is Pat. He is on the technical support of Bowtech. He will know any question you give him. It might take him a day or so to contact you cuz they are busy putting out the new 08 bows. Good luch! I hope this helps.

ya i i don't get a for sure answer here, i probably will end up giving them a call.

OK listen to me if you want I'm only a "Coporate Staff" guy too, but I know what I'm talking about:

First just to be safe because I don't know what you've been doing.......back the bolts out and start over. You DO NOT want to overtighten these. when you have each one loose tighten each one just enough to be snug. (maybe1/2 turn after you feel them sinking home)
You notice a space between both sides of this cap (top and bottom) and it appears almost like two sides of a set of scope rings.......your goal is to NOT NOT NOT bring these 2 sides together. You will cause the cap to crack.

It is easy to overtighten these because they have that synthetic pad between the cap and the limb facesand the screws will keep going until you've gone to far.

In your case if you were wrenchingon them, backeach one out until it's loose and then just snug them lightly and equally. THAT'S IT.They should be set properly from the factory and only messed with if for some reason one backs out and isobviously loose.
If you haven't touched them just leave em' alone.

no cracks that i can tell on the cap..i didnt crank them all the way until they stopped, because i was still unsure if i was supposed to be doing it. so i only turned them until they were a little more than snug. i will back them out now and start over with you recommendations. thanks matt, appreciate it.

NC,
Don't feel like you're working on a grenade or anything LOL. In reality the caps don't do a whole lot but you can break them if you unknowingly get too heavy handed.
Just lightly snug them as close to the same as you can and don't sweat it. Just check them every so often to make sure one didn't back out any because you may have UNDERtightened it. You can usually tell if one is loose simply by tapping the cap itself and you'll hear it.

i might as well ask another question i have for you then regaurding the guardian. I heard that guardians' fps are more sensitive to variations in DL and DW than other bows, is this true?

I'm shooting it at 70 right now, but am probably going to back it down to 60, now that the weather is cold, and it becomes a lot harder on the body shooting tons of shots outside. What do you think the fps would be like if i dropped it down to 60#? For target shooting i'm using gold tip arrows w/ the included inserts/nocks, cut to 29", with 100 grain head. on the string i have a tubed peep, a kisser button, and the rest is a whisker biscuit.
