Bear Archery Compound Bow 2004 - Manual (Page 4)

SAFETY FIRST
Before using this equipment, read and follow these manu-
facturer’s instructions carefully. If you have any questions,
contact the manufacturer or a qualified dealer or authority.
Never dry-fire you bow.
Never pull back and release the bowstring without an
arrow attached. Your bow is designed to transfer energy to a
properly weighted arrow.
Warning: Dry-firing a bow severely reduces the life
expectancy of the bow and may cause immediate damage
to the bow resulting in injury to yourself or others.
Use the proper arrow for you and your bow. If you are
unsure about your arrow choice, contact your archery dealer
or an arrow manufacturer. A list of manufacturers can be
found on page 34.
Warning: Shooting underweight arrows has the same
effect as dry-firing and may cause serious injury. Use arrows
of the proper length and spine (stiffness) for your bow and
shooting style.
Warning: Do not use wooden arrows. They are not
designed for use with this compound bow and may cause
serious injury.
Inspect your arrows and arrow nocks regularly.
Immediately discard any dented, split, splintered or other-
wise damaged arrows and replace cracked or broken nocks.
Do not draw your bow beyond its maximum draw length
as damage to the limbs, cables and strings could result.
Use of safety glasses is recommended with any archery
product.
