Using a bow for hunting has been a done ever since the sport began. Bows don't need much accessories or implements for it to work right. Just have a good aiming and sight which comes with practice.

Goes without saying, bow hunting needs a working bow. Can't do much with a damaged one. How can anyone ever damage a bow? Carelessness damages the bow. Read on for better bow care…

Use a bow stringer ALWAYS! The reason for invention of the stringer is to keep your bow the shape it was when you bought it. A bow's limbs gets twisted and will cause your shot to be unsafe. Besides using a stringer will prevent the limbs from snapping, it keeps the limbs away from you.

Unstring the bow when not used. Tautness is what brings the arrow far and to the target (unless you're a really lousy shot! Lol

Firing the bow like they do in the movies, without any arrows is ridiculous! Dry-firing (no arrows) just damages your bow BIGTIME! The force of an arrow pushing back against the string and bow is what a bow needs.

Bows are to be kept at room temperature. Heat and moisture causing cold will damage you bow. Keep bow dry even after cleaning, dry it off.

Use proper  string length, proper arrows…never heard of a .45 have shotgun loads have you?

If your bow is assembled, limb bolts have to be fit just right…the snugger the better.

Tightening the limb bolts will do nothing but damage your bow, making it more difficult for you to get that shot right.

Keep string well waxed. Over used bow strings need to be changed while regular use calls for  yearly changes.

Break in a new bow with practice shots on a stationary target. While practicing, get the feel of its weight and better to line 3-4 targets to simulate moving shots.
