OVERDRAW WARNING:
The use of an overdraw that allows
shooters to draw the forward tip of an arrow past the bow’s
handgrip, significantly increases the risk of injury to the shooter.
Even when using a bow equipped with an overdraw, the arrow
should always be cut one to one and one-half inches in front of the
farthest point where the arrow contacts the rest at full draw length.
Select an arrow length that does not allow the arrow to be drawn
past the arrow rest. Selecting the correct arrow length is solely the
responsibility of the shooter.
REST WARNING:
Before shooting Gold Tip arrows, it is extremely
important to inspect the rest and ensure it is properly adjusted
for the diameter of the arrow being shot because shaft diameters
vary from arrow to arrow. Failure to properly adjust the arrow rest
significantly increases the risk of injury to the shooter. Incorrect rest
adjustment may cause the arrow to fall off the rest and/or get hung
up in the bow, potentially resulting in injuries to the shooter or bystanders.
Always make sure that your equipment and especially your
rest is properly adjusted to the proper shaft diameter by a qualified
individual before shooting Gold Tip arrows. |
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Always inspect each arrow for damage
before each shot. Proper care of graphite arrows can ensure years of
quality performance. However, shafts can be damaged. To inspect
the arrow, hold it on both ends and flex it away from yourself and
others while visibly and audibly checking for splinters, cracks or
nicks. Rotate and repeat this inspection four to five times. If you
find the arrow to be damaged in any way, destroy it immediately.
Shooting damaged graphite arrows can result in arrow failure and
possible bodily injury.
CUTTING GRAPHITE ARROWS:
It is very important to cut
graphite arrows to the correct length. Arrows that are cut too
short can become lodged in the arrow rest or behind the riser of the
bow. Shooting an arrow that is lodged in a bow in this manner will
almost certainly result in arrow failure, damage to equipment and
personal injury. Gold Tip strongly recommends that arrows be cut no
less than one to one and one-half inches in front of the arrow rest.
