NEVER dry fire your bow! (Dry firing is drawing and releasing the string without an arrow nocked) This can cause serious personal injury and permanent damage to the bow.
Always use a stringer to string or un-string your bow.
Always unstring your bow when not in use.
Use arrows that are at least 9 grains per pound of draw weight. For example: If your draw weight is 50# at your draw length, use arrows that weigh 450 grains or more.
Occasionally applying a quality furniture wax will help preserve your bow’s finish.
Store your bow in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to excessive heat and prolonged moisture. Extreme temperatures can damage your bow.
The recommended String Material is B-50 for traditional bows.
