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.
