4. BE SURE OF YOUR BACKSTOP. Make sure that
the backstop you use is large enough to catch a stray
arrow and that it is thick enough that the arrow can-
not completely penetrate it. Make sure that it is posi-
tioned in a safe direction away from dwellings and
other people.
5. BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET. Make sure that there
are no persons, livestock, buildings or other objects
behind or near your target. Be absolutely sure of your
target in low light conditions.
6. INSPECT ALL ARROWS. Before shooting, inspect
your arrows for defects. Discard cracked or dented
shafts. Replace damaged or loose fletching and nocks.
7. ALWAYS BE SAFE. Never shoot straight up. Wear
safety glasses when working on and shooting your
bow. Be careful around strings and cables when using
broadheads. Cutting strings and cables can cause
serious damage to your bow and possible injury to
you or others. Do not draw the bow beyond its max-
imum draw length. Never point or aim a drawn bow
at another person. Children must be supervised by an
adult.
8. READ AND HEED ALL WARNINGS. Hoyt cannot
be held responsible for injuries suffered or caused by
misuse, unsafe or improper arrow and bow combina-
tions. Hoyt cannot be held responsible for injuries
sustained when using an altered or modified Hoyt
bow.
