Compound Bow
USER’S GUIDE
General Operating Instructions
• Always inspect your bow thoroughly before each shooting session to insure that it is in
good working order. Check for worn or missing components and have them replaced
as required, i.e. bushings, spacers, etc.
• Inspect your arrows to insure that they are straight and that each nock is in good
condition. A cracked nock can break when fired from the bow and cause the bow to
"dry fire" resulting in possible injury to the archer and damage to the bow.
• When purchasing arrows for your bow, consult the selection chart from the arrow
manufacturer and select the correct arrow for your application. Always use an arrow
that meets the weight requirement marked on the specification label on the lower limb
of your bow. Failure to do so could cause personal injury and damage to your bow.
Bow Maintenance
Your PSE bow will give you many years of service if maintained and cared for properly.
IMPORTANT: Before servicing any PSE bow in a bow press, back out each limb bolt 4
complete turns from bottomed position.
• Keep synthetic cables and strings waxed. Apply bow string wax to your synthetic cables
and string before each shooting session.
• Strings and cables must be replaced periodically. A worn cable or string can suddenly
break causing serious injury to the archer and damage to the bow. It is recommended
that the string and cables be replaced at least every 5,000 shots or 12 months.
• Always store your bow in a cool dry place. High temperatures, such as those that can
occur in a truck or interior of a vehicle, can cause serious damage to your bow.
• After use in high humidity or damp conditions, wipe metal components of bow with
a light oil.
Safety
As with any weapon, safe operation of your PSE bow must always be the highest priority.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN HANDLING A BOW.
Do not attempt to use your bow without proper instruction. Doing so can result in
serious injury.
a. Never "dry-fire" any bow. Dry-fire is to draw and release the bowstring without an
arrow on the string. Dry-firing will likely cause damage to the bow and serious injury
to the archer.
b. Always be sure of your intended target as well as what lies behind the target area. An arrow
can travel a considerable distance, so it is important to have a safe and sound backstop.
c. If you draw a bow and need to let it down, do so in a slow and careful manner. Keep
your support arm straight and prepare for a rapid and violent let-down. Avoid hitting
your hand on protruding accessories such as the cable guard or quiver. Keep your
head and face back and out of danger during let-down. Never draw a bow with a
peak weight above your comfort level. Always use a bow sling when drawing a bow.
d. Never modify any part of the bow or its components by drilling extra holes or
removing material. This voids the warranty and presents safety problems.
