How to maintain your recurve bow?

Part 01.

Daily Inspection

Before and after each use, you should carefully check the condition of your recurve bow, including but not limited to: · Bowstring: Check for wear, breakage or looseness. If any damage is found in the bowstring, it should be replaced immediately to avoid affecting the accuracy of archery or causing danger. · Bow limbs: Observe whether the bow limbs have cracks, deformation and other problems. Minor damage may not affect the use temporarily, but it may cause the bow performance to decline in the long run. If the bow limbs are severely deformed, the bow limbs should be replaced to ensure archery safety. · Sight: Make sure the sight is firm and not loose or offset. Adjust it regularly to suit your personal archery habits.

Cleaning and Maintenance ·

Bowstring maintenance: Apply new string wax evenly. When using, you can use a soft cloth or leather to help the string wax penetrate better into the string. · Bow cleaning: Wipe the surface of the bow body with a clean soft cloth to remove dust and stains. For parts that are difficult to clean, you can use a small amount of clean water to wet the cloth and then wipe it gently, but make sure it is completely dry. · Accessory maintenance: Regularly check and tighten all adjustable parts, such as arrow rests, sights, etc. Make sure they are in top working condition.

Storage Methods

Avoid direct sunlight: Long-term exposure to sunlight will cause the bow material to age and affect the performance of the bow. Therefore, choose a cool place for storage. Suitable humidity: Too high or too low humidity is not conducive to the preservation of the bow. The ideal storage environment should be kept in the relative humidity range of 40%-60%. Correct placement: When not in use, place the recurve bow flat or on a special bow stand to avoid heavy objects from pressing or colliding. Do not stack the bows randomly to prevent deformation.
