SOS Tuning
SOS Pro Universal
Step 1:
First, we need to decide if you will be mounting the SOS on your stabilizer or via the Riser Stud.
For V-bars, we suggest the Riser Stud or mounting on the front stabilizer.
For bows with a single back bar, we suggest mounting the SOS Unit to the stabilizer or via the Riser Stud.
Step 2A:
You can attach your riser stud to any open 5/16″-24 riser hole on your bow. This is the common sizing for a stabilizer slot. We recommend using the shorter 10-32 Lockdown bolts to tighten the clamp around your riser stud. Tighten until snug, until the unit will not rotate with moderate force.
Step 2B:
You can also attach your SOS Mounting bracket to your stabilizer. Use the short 10-32 Lockdown bolts if your stabilizer is .500 – .600 in diameter. Use the long 10-32 Lockdown bolts if your stabilizer is .650 – .750 or you are using the Bridge-lock Stabilizer.
Step 3:
Now that we have your bracket mounted to your bow, we can mount the wire unit to the Mounting Bracket.
Insert the pins on the Wire Unit into Pin Receiver Slots on the bracket. Once inserted, rotate clockwise and the two pieces will snap together. Then, you are able to lockdown the set screw for the quick disconnect via a 5/64″ allen wrench. Rotate the allen wrench clockwise until tight.
Step 4:
Now that you have mounted your bracket to your bow and can interchange wire units via the Quick Disconnect, it’s time to orient your wire unit via the clocking ring.
For your S.O.S. unit to function at full capacity, it is important that the wires are positioned in a vertical orientation.
To adjust, loosen (counter clockwise) the clocking ring bolt via a 1/8″ Allen wrench, rotate the clocking ring to the appropriate location and then tighten snug (clockwise).
Adjusting your SOS Angle:
The final piece of adjustment for your SOS is fine tuning the exact angle that you would like your wires facing. This is no different than adjusting the angle on your stabilizer – you are adjusting your overall bow balance with this movement.
Simply loosen the angle adjustment screw (counter clockwise), adjust your unit to the desired angle and then tighten the screw to snug (clockwise) to lock in the new angle.
Advanced Tuning Steps:
Wire Orientation is very important.
If you are unsure of which way your wires are oriented, simply flex them up/down and then left/right. Whichever way the wires are easier to move, that’s the way the unit is currently set up to counteract. To flip your orientation, simply remove the wire unit from the mounting block, adjust your clocking ring as detailed above, tighten, and reinstall the wire unit.
SOS Pro Direct
Step 1:
First, we need to decide if you want to mount it behind your front stabilizer, utilizing our provided quick disconnect mount, or directly in spare stabilizer hole.
Step 2:
You can attach your mount to any open 5/16″-24 riser hole on your bow. This is the common sizing for a stabilizer slot. We recommend using the shorter 10-32 Lockdown bolts to tighten the clamp around your riser stud. Tighten until snug, until the unit will not rotate with moderate force.
Step 3:
Now that your S.O.S. is mounted to your bow, take a moment to snug the two set screws that are inside the clocking ring. It is important that these are not overtightened, because you will want these to move until you have your spot locked in. Then, slide the pin on the wire unit into the hole of the clocking ring. Next, take the thumb screw, place it in the hole of the wire unit, and thread it into the clocking ring.
Step 4:
Now that you have mounted your bracket to your bow, it’s time to orient your wire unit via the clocking ring.
For your S.O.S. unit to function at full capacity, it is important that the wires are positioned in a vertical orientation.
To adjust, loosen (counter clockwise) the clocking ring bolt via a 1/8″ Allen wrench, rotate the clocking ring to the appropriate location and then tighten snug (clockwise).

SOS Hunter Elite
Step 1:
Remove the QD Receiver and Barrel Nut from the Mounting Bracket by loosening the 1 ¼” 5/16-24 bolt.
Step 2:
Attach the SOS Wire unit to the Mounting Bracket with the ¾” 5/16-24 socket head
Step 3A:
If you will be installing your Mounting Bracket direct to your bow, use the 1 ¼” 5/16-24 bolt to attach the bracket to your riser hole via the Bracket Receiver Hole.
Step 3B:
If you will be installing your Mounting Bracket via a hole that already has a stabilizer, remove the stabilizer and install the Mounting Bracket with the Quick Disconnect Receiver via the 1 ¼” 5/16-24 bolt.
Step 4:
Start shooting and testing with your S.O.S. Device! Follow the advanced tuning information below for additional insight into how the unit works.

SOS Heavy Medal
Step 1:
Mount your SOS Heavy Medal to the end of your stabilizer or to a riser hole.
Step 2:
Wire orientation is very important for the SOS Heavy Medal to work for you. The unit has both a stiff and weak axis. If you are seeing up and down movement, set your weak axis vertical. If you are seeing left to right movement, set your weak axis horizontal. If you are unsure, test each position and see which is best for you.
SOS Lite
Step 1:
Mount your S.O.S. Lite to the end of your stabilizer or to a riser hole.
Step 2:
Wire orientation is very important for the S.O.S. Lite to work for you. The unit has both a stiff and weak axis. If you are seeing up and down movement, set your weak axis vertical. If you are seeing left to right movement, set your weak axis horizontal. If you are unsure, test each position and see which is best for you.
