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. See page 4 and/or

for additional

bow press information.
