    Spiderbows

    Guarantor:

    SPIDERBOWS
    Demminer Str. 32
    17389 Anklam

    All Spiderbows bows are covered by a 2-year warranty for the original purchaser upon presentation of the original invoice, provided that the following criteria are met during use:

    • Always string the bow with a suitable stringing cord and check that the string is positioned correctly at the top and bottom of the notch before stringing the bow. Stringing without a stringing cord can cause the limbs to twist and may also injure the archer.

    • Temperature: Wooden bows are glued with epoxy resins that cure at 60 to 80 degrees Celsius.

    • Always unstring the bow after use and only transport or store it unstrung.

    • Never store the bow in hot rooms, never leave it in the sun, and after transporting it in the car, make sure the bow cools down before stringing it. Failure to comply with these points may result in delamination or twisting of the limbs, which is not covered by the warranty.

    • All Spiderbows bows and risers are tested and approved for a maximum bow draw weight of 50 pounds. Using higher draw weights will void the warranty.

    • Blank shots are not covered by the warranty. Blank shots occur when the bow is drawn and released without an arrow being loaded, or when the nock breaks (it is therefore essential to check the nock before loading the arrow) or the arrow is not properly clicked into the string. Blank shots damage the bow and can result in injury to the archers.

    • All bows are Fast Flight compatible; the use of bowstrings that are not recurve compatible is prohibited.

    • Minimum arrow weight: The minimum arrow weight for all types of Spiderbows bows is 7 grains per pound (i.e., the arrow weight in grains divided by the poundage on the finger must be at least 7 grains).

    • For take-down bows, make sure that the limb screws are always tightened securely.

    • ILF risers and bows: Spiderbows ILF risers are equipped with Spiderbows solid full metal mounts. This bow must be adjusted before shooting. It is important that the tiller screw is turned to the desired position in terms of strength and tiller and that the limbs are aligned straight using the limb adjustment screws on the sides. Make sure that the center section and limbs are aligned and that all screws are tightened before drawing the bow.
