Maintaining Your Bow

Home > Sports & Recreation > Archery
 
Proper care and maintenance of your archery equipment is needed to make sure you always have top condition equipment. Your bow is especially important, as there is no archery without it.
 
Always use a bowstringer to string your bow. This is the best and safest way, for you and the bow, to string it.
 
When you are not using your bow, remove the string. This reduces the tension on the bow arms.
 
Never fire your bow without an arrow nocked. The arrow takes a lot of the impact, and relieves the stress on the arms.
 
Heat can damage your bow, so never leave in a hot place. Find a cool, dark and dry location to store your bow when not in place.
 
Always use the proper size strings.
 
Find out which arrows are suited for your bow, and use these only. Under or over weight arrows can have damaging effects on your bow.
 
If your string is worn or damaged, replace it immediately.
