BASIC SETUPYour new Martin bow takes little setup to get started shooting. Please read andfamiliarize yourself with these starting procedures before shooting. Many of theseprocedures will have been completed by your authorized Martin dealer. Aftercompleting these simple steps, you will be more accurate and will have greater successfrom the start. A careful and thorough initial setup will make the tuning processmuch easier.CABLE GUARD INSTALLATIONThe Jaguar Fuzion and Jaguar Magnum models areequipped with an upper mounted cable guard that mountsto the risers 10-24 threaded mounting holes. Speciallydesigned for use with the short axle lengths and Fuzionsingle cams utilized by these models, this mountincorporates a dove-tail slide for mounting sights andquivers.All other Martin compound bow models*feature smooth bore holes in the riser that allow direct,bracket-free installation of the cable guard rod. There areset screws within the riser that will secure the rod.The cable guard rod should be rotated toward the gripto provide adequate fletching clearance. Caution shouldbe taken against over-rotating the rod as excessive clearancecan cause unnecessary pressures on the limb tips andaxle bushings. Only 9/16” off-set is necessary to provideadequate fletching clearance.SETTING DRAW LENGTHZ Cams and Mini Z CamsThe Z Cam uses draw length modules to adjust thedraw length. The size of each module is designated by anumber followed by an 'X'. These modules are sized from2X to 9X. The 9X makes the longest draw and the lengthdecreases one inch for each number. To change the drawlength on these cams, simply remove the two screwsholding the module to the cam. Take a look at the modulenumber and select a new module that will give you the correctdraw length. Install the new modules, making sure thatthe numbers on each module match.CableGuardThough most bow models allow either an upper (above the arrow rest) or lower(below the grip) mounting, Martin Archery recommends the upper mountingposition on all Fuzion single cam models.*As of this writing, the Scepter II and Bobcat models did not allow the direct installationof a cable guard rod. A mounting bracket is supplied with these models thatthreads into the threaded holes provided in the back of the riser.6
