GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• 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, i.e.
bushings, spacers, etc.
• 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" resulting in
possible 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.
BOW MAINTENANCE
Your PSE bow will give you many years of service if maintained and cared for properly.
IMPORTANT: Before servicing any PSE bow in a bow press, back out each limb bolt 4 complete turns
from bottomed position.
• Keep synthetic cables and strings 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 at least 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.
• After use in high humidity or damp conditions, wipe metal components of bow with a light oil.
SAFETY
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 on the
string. 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.
