Recreational Compound Bow 29 lbs for Right-Handers, Aluminium Riser, Neon Green

How a compound bow works and how to use it safely

This bow is designed exclusively for right-handed shooters. This means you hold the aluminium riser firmly in your left hand and draw the string with your right hand. The arrow rests on the left side of the bow. The compound mechanism works in such a way that once you draw the string past a certain point (the let-off), the resistance drops dramatically. This allows you to hold the weapon at full draw for much longer without your arms shaking. Before every shooting session, make sure to wear the included arm guard on your left arm to prevent a painful string slap, and use the finger tab for your right hand.

A fascinating piece of archery history

Did you know that unlike traditional bows, which have been around for thousands of years, the compound bow is a relatively recent invention? The concept was patented in the USA in the late 1960s by Holless Wilbur Allen. His goal was to solve the problem of muscle fatigue while aiming, which he achieved perfectly through a system of pulleys and cables, changing the world of archery forever.

Care and maintenance

• Wax the string: Regularly treat the string and cables with a dedicated bowstring wax. This prevents the fibres from fraying and significantly extends their lifespan.
• Regular inspections: Visually check the condition of the fibreglass limbs, the cams, and ensure all screws on the riser are properly tightened.
• Proper storage: Store the bow in a dry place and do not expose it to extreme temperature changes (for example, never leave it in a hot car during summer).

Crucial warnings

I strongly warn you against dry firing the bow (releasing the string without a properly nocked arrow). In this scenario, all the stored energy is transferred back into the limbs and cams, which can lead to the immediate destruction of the bow and severe personal injury. Similarly, never shoot a damaged or splintered arrow.

Recommended accessories to complete your setup

To ensure a long-lasting and complete shooting experience, I recommend expanding your gear with the following accessories:

• A high-quality archery target boss designed to safely stop arrows.
• A sufficient supply of spare fibreglass or carbon arrows, approximately 26 to 28 inches (66 to 71 cm) in length.
• Spare bowstring wax for regular maintenance.
