 Never draw your bow past the indicated drawlength.

The bow otherwise will permanently loose performance or in the worst case break.

Always keep braceheight within indicated measurings.

A too low braceheight will negativly affect proper arrowflight. Furthermore the string will slap your forearm. A too high braceheight will slow down the bow and induce unnecessary stress to it. Kepp braceheeight within +/- 10mm to the indicated braceheight.

Never dryfire your bow.

The bow otherwiese will take permanent damage or in the worst case break.

Never anchor for more than 2 seconds.

You can hardly imagine the stupid ideas that inexperienced people come up with.

Always string and unstring your bow correctly.

The bow otherwise might break or take permanent damage.

Always unstring your bow if you don’t shoot it.

The bow otherwise will take permenent damage.

Always keep your bow dry and away from moisture.

Always check and monitor your bow before shooting.

After stringing your bow check your tiller.

If you visually detect some sort of hinge,

if the top limb has a lower braceheight than the lower limb (negative tiller),

or if the top limb exceeds braceheight of  the lower limb for more than 10mm (overly positive tiller),

plz contact me.

If necessary measurements are taken early enough, most things will be repairable.
