Never - “Dry re" your bow (shoot it without an arrow.) This will result in
damage to your bow and/or possible injury.
Never - Let anyone draw or shoot your bow if their draw length is longer than
yours. Over drawing of the bow can cause cable damage.
Never - Draw, aim, or shoot your bow unless you are sure that the line of re
is clear. Remember, once an arrow is red it cannot be recalled.
Never - Shoot an arrow that is less than ve grains per pound. For example,
an 80# bow requires a minimum of 400 grains of arrow weight. Less
than ve grains per pound of arrow weight simulates a dry re eect
and may damage your bow.
Never - Expose your bow to extreme heat. Excessive heat, such as your car
on a hot day, could lead to limb failure and premature wearing of the
string harness.
Always - Check all of your arrow shafts and nocks upon removal from the
target. If the arrows show defects or broken nocks, do not shoot them.
Always - Carefully inspect your bow after each use. Be sure all screws are
snug and accessories are tight. Inspect your string and cables for
wear or damage.
Always - Draw your bow while pointing it at the target. A premature release
of the arrow can be very dangerous. If you cannot draw your bow
while pointing it at the target without excessive movement, lower the
peak weight of your bow until you can draw smoothly and correctly.
Over time you will build up strength, and will be able to return to the
higher weight.
Always - Draw your bow with an arrow on the string while keeping it pointed
in a safe direction. Never draw your bow with a release aid without
an arrow. A release aid failure could result in the dry re of your bow.
Always - Back your limb bolts o ve full turns from the riser before putting it
in a bow press. Only let a qualied professional or a Martin authorized
dealer put your bow in a bow press.
Inexperienced use of a bow press or a T-stringer can result in damage
to your bow. The type of damage caused by a press is not covered
under the Martin Archery bow warranty.

I have a Martin Pantera XRG Pro-Series compound bow riser only and would like to rebuild it and need the parts manual. I appreciate any help. Respectfully Frank Moritz
