Dear Customer,
Bear Archery grew out of the life and work of legendary sportsman Fred Bear. Fred was our friend, mentor, hero and a pioneer: he paved
• Always use a bow stringer to help seat your string properly in the bow’s string grooves. Bear Archery does not recommend the “push-
pull” or “step-through” methods as these could result in injury to the archer or damage to the bow. To determine the correct string
length for your bow, subtract approximately 3” from the overall length of your bow.
Brace height is the distance between the string and the deepest cut in the handle/ grip area measured at a right angle to the string. This
height normally measures between 7” – 8”.
• Increase brace height by shortening
loosening. The string included with your bow will give you the recommended brace height. Although the string has been pre-stretched,
• Never shoot with a worn string. If a string breaks, it can cause damage to equipment and/or personal injury. Keep your string waxed to
prevent fraying and inspect it frequently for signs of wear.
recommended string materials with your bow.
How To Measure Draw Weight
Your bow’s draw weight is marked on the handle. All bows are weighed at 28”, the distance between the deepest cut in the handle grip
area to the center of the bowstring while the bow is drawn under tension – plus 1 ¾“. The draw weight is marked at the nearest 5#
increment to actual weight, (2#’s under and 3#’s over). Draw weight increases or decreases approximately 2-1/2 pounds for every inch the
draw length is extended or shortened. For example, a bow weighing 50# at 28” will draw approximately 52-1/2# at 29” or 47-1/2# at 27”.
• Protect the fi nish of your bow from moisture and scratches by applying a light coat of any good furniture paste wax lightly rubbed on
• Do not needlessly subject your bow to extremes in temperature strung or unstrung. For instance, do not indefi nitely leave the bow in
