USER’S GUIDE

WELCOME TO THE BROWNING ARCHERY FAMILY

Thank you from the entire Browning Archery family for purchasing a Browning Archery bow. Your Browning Archery bow was manufactured from the finest materials available and handcrafted with pride in the USA. With proper care and use you will enjoy this product for years to come.

We at Browning Archery wish you much success in the archery field you have chosen to pursue.

Please read this entire booklet before shooting or adjusting your bow.

Remember, most adjustments to a compound bow should be made by your authorized Browning Archery dealer.

Whenever shooting a bow, be certain of your target as well as what else lies downrange.

SAFETY

As with any shooting activity, safe operation of your Browning Archery 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 in the bow.

Dry-firing will likely cause damage to the bow and serious injury to the archer. If you ever dry-fire your Browning Archery bow, take it to an authorized Browning Archery dealer for proper inspection.

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 aggressive let-down as the bow returns to peak weight. Avoid hitting your hand on protruding accessories such as the cable guard or quiver. Keep your head and face back and out of the string path during let-down.

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.

e. Never draw a bow with a peak weight above your comfort level.

f. Always use a bow sling when drawing and shooting a bow.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Always inspect your bow thoroughly before each shooting session to ensure that it is in good working order. Check for worn or missing components and have them replaced as required.

• Inspect your arrows to insure that they are straight, undamaged, not cracked 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" which can cause 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 stated in the warranty. Failure to do so could cause personal injury and damage to your bow.

BOW MAINTENANCE

Your Browning Archery bow will give you many years of service if maintained and cared for properly.

• Keep synthetic cables and string 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 every 5,000 shots or 12 months, whichever comes first.

• Always store your bow in a cool dry place. High temperatures, such as those that can occur in a trunk 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.
