I've got the same unit. There's a single screw just under the head, pull it out, spin the head, and re-install.

Yes, less vibration too. But,,,,, I always forget which way to twist the handle

Bowhunter,
If you do reverse the head, make note as to which way you rotated the motors head.

When you go to reverse it back, you want to rotate the head in the opposite direction, so that you don't end up twisting the wires from the head to the motor.

i.e. if you turn the head clockwise to reverse it, you will want to rotate the head counter clockwise to reverse it back.

Take care
