1. Never Dry Fire Your Bow Dry fire means draw and release of the string
without an arrow. Shooting without an arrow (Dry Firing), which absorbs most
of the bows stored energy, could cause severe damage to your bow and
possible injury to you. 2. Never Expose Your Bow to Extreme Heat or Prolonged Moisture Excessive heat, experienced on a sunny day inside a closed vehicle, could cause limb failure. Prolonged storage in hot, dry attic, garage or damp basement could also damage your bow and will void your warranty. 3. Carefully Inspect Your Bow Before and During Your Shooting/Hunting Sessions. Carefully check the condition of your bowstring, limbs and riser before you shoot or hunt. A frayed bowstring should be replaced. 4. Inspect Your Arrows Before shooting inspect for defects. Replace cracked nocks and loose fletch and discard fractured or dented arrows. WARNING: Your bow is a deadly weapon. Always abide by all safety rules and use common sense. "Lost Creek Bows" shall not be liable for injury or property other than the bows themselves. TUNING YOUR BOW There are several different ways to get your bow/arrow combination shooting properly. I always bare shaft test my bow to insure best arrow flight. Note: The directions below are for right handed shooters, Left handed shooters will be opposite. 1. Point is high and nock is low - you need to raise the nock point. 2. Point is low and nock is high - you need to lower the nock point. 3. It is possible to have #2 if nock point is too low, causing it to bounce off the shelf. 4. At this point get your side plate and nock set as close as possible, don't worry if it isn't perfect yet, spine will effect the impact also. Now let's work to get the spine right for your arrow/bow combination and your shooting style, every shooting style being different. Shoot your shafts at 20 yards 1.Point is left and nock is right - shaft is too stiff. You need a lighter spine shaft. 2. Point is right and nock is left - shaft is under spine. You need a higher spine shaft or cut the shaft down 1/2" at a time-to increase spine. 3.If your arrow flight is accurate you can change your brace height slightly to fine-tune it. Higher brace will stiffen the shaft and a lower brace will weaken the shaft. |
