IWARNING:
Never let go of the bow handle while drawing the bow, holding the bow at full draw,
or shooting the bow. It is important that you are able to maintain a consistent and secure grip
on the bow handle without slippage of your hand on the bow grip. Use of items such as hand
lotions, sunscreens, and insect repellents may limit your ability to maintain control of the grip.
IWARNING:
Always ensure that the area around your bow is clear of any and all obstructions
to prevent items from being caught in the moving parts of the bow. When shooting your bow,
never wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other items worn on your body that may get caught in the
bow or bow string when the bow is shot.
IWARNING:
Never point or aim a bow at another person. Be sure of your target and what lies
beyond. Never shoot arrows straight up into the air. Make sure that the path from where you
are shooting to the target and beyond is free from people and obstructions. The view that you
see when looking through your sight while shooting (the sight picture) may not clearly show the
trajectory path of the arrow.
IWARNING:
Never dry fire your bow. To dry fire your bow, means to shoot the bow without an
arrow. Never try drawing a bow that is too heavy for your strength or that does not fit your draw
length as this could lead to an unintentional dry fire. A dry fire could cause your bow to break
and cause death or serious injury to you or others. If your bow is dry-fired there could be both
seen and unseen damage and it should be returned to Hoyt or taken to a Genuine Hoyt Retailer
for inspection before any further use.
IWARNING:
Never loosen your limb weight adjustment bolts (Tiller Bolts) more than 6 turns
from the bottomed-out position as it could cause the bow to violently disassemble.
IWARNING:
Do not perform any maintenance, adjustments, or have any work performed of any
kind on any part of your bow while drawing or during any other part of the shooting cycle. Do not
allow others to work on or touch any part of your bow during the shooting cycle.
IWARNING:
Never shoot a bow with the incorrect arrow size (spine) or the incorrect arrow
length. Shooting an incor-rect arrow size or length could cause your arrow to break and cause
serious injury to you or others. Refer to the specific arrow manufacturer’s arrow selection chart
to select the correct arrow size and length for your setup.
IWARNING:
Never shoot a damaged arrow. Before each shot, inspect your arrows for damage.
See the specific arrow manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on proper arrow inspection
methods. Discard all damaged arrows.
IWARNING:
Never mechanically alter or modify your bow. Drilling holes, cutting, filing, or sand-
ing are examples of mechanically altering your bow which will likely cause the bow to break and
could cause death or serious injury.
IWARNING:
Never draw or shoot a bow with frayed, worn, or damaged strings as it could break.
Frayed, worn, or damaged bowstrings should be immediately replaced with a Hoyt Genuine
Recurve String. Carefully inspect the string each time before shooting your bow. Hoyt recom-
