Default Serving a Static Yoke....

Well, I got about half way through tuning my Hoyt Trykon and realized, I am having difficulty when untwisting my buss cable because of the static yoke.

My question is....should I serve about two inchesbelow the static yoke so I can control the cam lean with the static yoke yet still have the ability to untwist the buss cable when necessary?

I am thinking that isthe only way I can keep the yoke in the cable and still havethe ability to untwist the cable.

Wanted to check here first.....

That will help,but imo,you need to get new rigging that doesn't have the floating yoke.

I think "floating yoke" in the above quotewas meant to read static yoke? Am I correct on this assumption.

If so, I will probably end up serving the static yoke.

I believe Hoyt called it a floating yoke when they came out with it but I think we are talking about the same thing.

Pretty sure Static Yoke and Floating Yoke are two different things. The Hoyt's come with Floating Yokes, a Static Yoke is just the string split in half, and connects to limbs.

Yeah, I guess I should have explained what I meant by static and floating yoke a bit better.

Your description is what I define a static yoke as.

A floating yoke is exactly what comes on Hoyt's from the factory.

So if it's a static yoke, why serve it?

See my original question.

As I am untwisting the buss cable to properly tune the bow, I am cannot control the yoke (Y)from untwisting as well. If I serve the cable directly below the split harness, I can untwist the rest of the buss cable without having the yoke untwist.

Not exactly sure why you seem to be having problems,I thought you were dealing with factory cables.

I believe all you will need to do is just take the yoke cables off and switch them,reserving shouln't be necessary.Then it is just a matter of rechecking your cam lean.

TFOX, he's not dealing w/ factory cables. These are aftermarket.

Dave, as you and I discussed on the phone.......Get the bow back to factory specs, and then check everything out. Tiller, brace, draw weight, ATA.......string length, all that stuff. As I mentioned, you've been messing w/ this long enough now to have either fixed it, or REALLY messed it up. I've learned when bow tuning if something isn't working, do the exact opposite, just to get it to change. Or........start over.

I think starting over is exactly what the doctor ordered here bud.
