SETTING-UP YOUR BOW
NOCKING POINT PLACEMENT:
Finger shooters: For the initial setting,
install the nocking point on the bowstring
approximately 5/16" plus the arrow width
above a point where a horizontal line from
the rest intersects the string.
Release Aid shooters: Install the nock-
ing point the width of the arrow above a point
where a horizontal line from the rest inter-
sects the string. When the arrow is in posi-
tion on the rest the arrownock should fit snug
against the bottom of the nocking point.
ARROWREST ADJUSTMENT:
The in/out position of the arrowrest should
be adjusted so that the arrow is in
alignment with the string when shooting with a
release aid. The arrow tip should be ~1/2 shaft
diameter left of center on a right-handed bow,
(opposite for left-handed) when shooting with
fingers.
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.
