How often should I wax my bow strings and cables?

To increase the longevity of your strings and cables, wax your strings and cables once a month or more depending on the condition of the strings. Always check you bow for frayed strings and cables. Replace damaged strings and cables immediately.

How do I adjust the draw weight of my bow?

Mathews bows have approximately a ten-pound range of weight reduction from the bow’s peak weight (example: if the bow has a peak weight of 70 pounds, it can be adjusted as low as 60 pounds). Draw weight adjustments are made using either a 3/16” or 7/32” Allen Wrench. Turn the limb bolt clockwise to increase the draw weight and counter clockwise to decrease the weight. Both limb bolts must be adjusted equally, or the bow may become out of tune/synchronization. The limb bolt should be snug. Do not over-tighten. Each rotation equals approximately 2 to 4 pounds of draw weight. Consult your Authorized Mathews Retailer for the maximum number of rotations your bow can be decreased.

What arrows should I shoot with my bow?

Contact your Authorized Mathews Retailer for this technical service. We would suggest looking at the arrow selection chart for the brand you plan on purchasing.
