To keep your compound bow as if it were brand new you should look after it, however as a mechanical item it will be vulnerable to deterioration like anything else. There are however some quick maintenance inspections you are able to do to ensure that it stays in top condition.
Look at the strings and cables
You will need to put on a light coating of bow string wax every fortnight at least to keep them performing at their best and preserve them from deterioration. When considering which wax to buy it is worthwhile paying extra for a good quality brand instead of cheap alternatives as it will pay for itself in the long run and you will generally get more from the strings and cables this way.
They will usually need replacing every year or 2 years, but be sure to check them frequently for signs of damage or weaknesses. Once you notice this, it is time to get them changed. This has to have a specialist bow press and you must take it to a professional to do this.
Eccentric Lubrication
The axles should really have some special lubricant put on every 1000-2000 shots. The lubricant ought to be Teflon or silicon based if possible or good quality grease. Lubricating oils like WD-40 will ruin the bow so stay away from them – they may also pick up dust and dirt which in turn will minimize the effectiveness.
Centershot calibration
The centreshot calibration relates to the fine tuning of the shot upon the power path of the string, and will keep your bow precise. This is rather easy to line up and all you need to do is align the arrow rest either to the left or the right based on wherever it sits at the moment. A release shooter ought to line up the shot with the power path of the string. Finger shooters though will have to place their shot so the tip is a little bit outside the string’s power path.
All these maintenance ideas will keep your bow shooting as effective as it did when you first got it. If you aren’t sure you can always lget a professional to do this for you, but try and find out yourself as it only needs a few minutes to do every now and again. In addition to that it means that you will have the ability to buy used compound bows at a fraction of the amount and you will be in a position to use them as if they were brand new.
