CARE AND MAINTENANCE
With proper care and a minimum amount of routine maintenance, your
bow will be kept in top condition. However, it is still important to
carefully inspect your bow on a regular basis.
Cleaning
Your bow should be kept clean of dust, mud and grime. Use a damp soft
cotton cloth to remove dirt and moisture. Do not use solvents such as
acetone or mineral spirits as they may ruin the finish.
Storage and Transportation
Avoid exposing your bow to temperatures over 150 degrees. Excessive
heat may damage your bow. Do not leave your bow unprotected in your
vehicle on a hot sunny day or store in a hot attic or other hot enclosed
area. Clean your bow thoroughly after each use. Never put your bow
away wet or store it in a damp place. Lightly oil all steel parts (axles,
mounting screws) to prevent rust. You can relax the limbs if storing for
more than a year. Follow the instructions under Peak Draw Weight
Adjustment in the bow adjustment section.
Bow Presses
Use only “double-pull” type APPROVED bow presses. A “double-pull” bow
press draws your bow down at two points on the riser. Older style
“single-pull” bow presses that contact the bow only in the grip area can
result in bent or broken risers. To reduce unnecessary stress on the riser,
back off the limb bolts 2-3 turns before placing in a press.
