If you’re an archery fan, you know that your hunting experience is only as good as the condition of your bow. In case you can’t get to a shop for service, you should know some basic maintenance and repair techniques. If you do have bow repair work that you can’t handle on your own, stop by Glauber’s Sports in Carrollton, KY. Offering a wide selection of bows, as well as hunting apparel and hunting accessories, their technicians will make sure your bow is in top condition.

As major archery enthusiasts, they recommend that all hunters learn the following repair and maintenance skills:

• String Loop Installation: In archery, using a string loop greatly boosts your accuracy—as long as you have installed and positioned it well. Head to your local hunting accessories shop and pick up a set of string loop pliers so you can start practicing now.
• Using A Bow Press: Whether you’re handling big repair work, like replacing a cracked limb, or simply tackling basic maintenance, such as installing speed buttons, you’ll need to first put your bow in a press to reduce the tension caused by the string. There are portable units available, allowing you to handle the job right there during your hunt.
• Arrow Fletching: As you develop your archery skills, you’ll learn what kind of arrow fletching feels best to you. By knowing how to perform your own arrow fletching work, you’ll customize your hunting experience completely to your tastes.
