• Always inspect your bow thoroughly before each shooting session to
insure 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 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 marked on the
specification label on the lower limb of your bow. Failure to do so could cause
personal injury and damage to your bow.

Your PSE 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.

• Always store your bow in a cool dry place. High temperatures, such as those
that can occur in a truck or interior of a vehicle, can cause serious damage to
your bow.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BOW MAINTENANCE

SETTING-UP YOUR BOW

NOCKING POINT PLACEMENT:

Finger shooters: For the initial setting,

install the nocking point on the bowstring
approximately 5/16" plus the arrow width above
a point where a horizontal line from the rest
intersects the string.

Release Aid shooters: Install the nocking
point the width of the arrow above a point
where a horizontal line from the rest intersects
the string. When the arrow is in position on the
rest, the arrownock should fit snug against the
bottom of the nocking point.

ARROWREST
ADJUSTMENT:

The in/out position of the
arrowrest should be adjusted
so that the arrow is in
alignment with the string when
shooting with a release aid.
The arrow tip should be 1/2
shaft diameter to a full shaft
diameter to the left on a right­handed bow, (opposite for
left-handed) when shooting
with fingers.

As with any weapon, safe operation of your PSE 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.

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 violent
let-down. Avoid hitting your hand on protruding accessories such as the cable guard
or quiver. Keep your head and face back and out of danger during let-down. Never
draw a bow with a peak weight above your comfort level. Always use a bow sling
when drawing a bow.

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.
