STRING GROOVE NOTE: If the string on any recurve bow favors the right side of the string groove, the limb tip will also
be leaning to the right side.
SETTING UP A REST
The Crescent is intended to be shot by using a rest/plunger combination. Place a stick-on style rest on the riser above
the shelf, aligning the hole in the rest with the rear hole in the riser. (See Figure 11) Your plunger can now be threaded
through the rest hole.
For a bolt-on rest, secure the rest with a bolt threaded through the riser hole away from the archer, and then screw the
plunger into the rear hole. (See Figure 12) When nished, the arm of the rest should be aligned with the plunger button
above the shelf.
NOCK HEIGHT
For proper arrow ight, you have to attach your arrow to the right place on the
bow string, in relation to your arrow rest. You will want to attach nok sets or
tie nock locators with serving material above and below the exact spot on the
string where your arrow’s nock should attach so that you can be sure you are
nocking the arrow in the same location for each shot. (See Figure 13) Use a
bow square to determine the correct nocking point.
Set one end of the bow square on your rest and then attach the other end of
the square to the bowstring. You want the arm of the square to be perpendicu-
lar to the string. Tie your thread or attach a nok set 3/8 to ½ inch above the
center line on your bow square. Nock an arrow and then tie thread or clamp
another nok set directly beneath that arrow nock. Leave just a sliver of space
below the nock and your lower nocking point so that the arrow nock doesn’t get
pinched at full draw.
STABILIZER
The Tourch bow has the stabilizer bushing for mounting both your stabilizer and V-bars. The stabilizer mount is on the
back of the riser, directly beneath the grip.
CARING FOR YOUR BOW
Your Galaxy bow is very low maintenance. Risers, limbs and bows all are water resistant. Simply wipe them dry with a
towel should they get wet, to prevent water damage. Rub the string regularly with an approved bowstring wax to keep it
from drying out. Store your bow in a cool dry location when not in use. While it is OK to store modern recurve and long-
bows with the string attached, it is safest to unstring the bow when it’s not in use, so others cannot misuse the bow.
Keep an eye out for cracks in any part of your bow. Should you nd one, immediately stop using that bow and take it to
your local Galaxy dealer.
