Never - “Dry fire" your bow (shoot it without an arrow.) This will result in
damage to your bow and/or possible injury.
Never - Let anyone draw or shoot your bow if their draw length is longer than
yours. Over drawing of the bow can cause cable damage.
Never - Draw, aim, or shoot your bow unless you are sure that the line of fire is
clear. Remember, once an arrow is fired it cannot be recalled.
Never - Shoot an arrow that is less than five grains per pound. For example, an
80# bow requires a minimum of 400 grains of arrow weight. Less than
five grains per pound of arrow weight simulates a dry fire effect and may
damage your bow.
Never - Expose your bow to extreme heat. Excessive heat, such as your car on a
hot day, could lead to limb failure and premature wearing of the string harness.
Always - Check all of your arrow shafts and nocks upon removal from the target.
If the arrows show defects or broken nocks, do not shoot them.
Always - Carefully inspect your bow after each use. Be sure all screws are
snug and accessories are tight. Inspect your string and cables for wear or damage.
Always - Draw your bow while pointing it at the target. A premature release of the
arrow can be very dangerous. If you cannot draw your bow while
pointing it at the target without excessive movement, lower the peak weight
of your bow until you can draw smoothly and correctly. Over time you will build up strength,
and will be able to return to the higher weight.
Always - Draw your bow with an arrow on the string while keeping it pointed in a
safe direction. Never draw your bow with a release aid without an arrow.
A release aid failure could result in the dry fire of your bow.
Always - Back your limb bolts off five full turns from the riser before putting it in a bow press. Only let a
qualified professional or a Martin authorized dealer
put your bow in a bow press. Inexperienced use of a bow press or a
T-stringer can result in damage to your bow. The type of damage caused
by a press is not covered under the Martin Archery bow warranty.
