IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. Never Dry Fire Your Bow. Dry fire means to draw and release
your bow without an arrow. Shooting without an arrow, which
absorbs most of the bow’s stored energy, could cause severe
damage to the bow and possible injury.
2. Never Expose Your Bow to Extreme Heat or Prolonged
Moisture. Excessive heat, such as could be experienced on a
sunny day inside of a closed vehicle, could cause limb failure.
Prolonged storage in a hot, dry attic or damp basement could
also be damaging and will void your warranty.
3. Carefully Inspect Your Bow Before And During Each
Shooting Session. Carefully note condition of bowstring, limbs
and riser before you shoot. Frayed bowstrings should be
replaced. Damaged or suspect limbs should be reported to the
dealer where you purchased your bow.
4. Inspect All Arrows. Before Shooting, Inspect your arrows for
defects. Replace cracked nocks and loose fletch and discard
fractured or dented arrows.
5. Always Be Safe. Never point or aim a drawn bow at anything
you do not wish to destroy. Never shoot straight up. Be sure of
your target and what lies beyond it. Only shoot in a safe direction. Always use a bow stringer to string a recurve bow.
Children must be supervised by an adult.
Warning: This bow is a deadly weapon.
Always abide by all safety advisements.
