Not much to add today...opening day approaches quickly as Archery only season for deer opens October 1st. If you need new strings or cables, it may be too late, as pro shops are busy. Even so, grab your gear and look it over - even better, dust it off and shoot it!
Check strings and cables for fraying and nicks from broadheads. All those allen screws need checking to tightness, too. A little blue Loctite will keep them from vibrating loose. No Loctite? Try a dab of nail polish.
Check over your arrows for damaged fletching, loose nocks and inserts and damage to the shaft itself. Flex those carbon shafts; listen for crunching sounds and look for any splintering. Toss EVERY shaft that fails!
Spin those arrows with the broadheads attached to check for wobble that indicates a broadhead out of alignment.
Now let's shoot a few to check for noise and accuracy. Time to adjust any sight settings or any other tuning adjustments.
You DO have your hunting and archery licenses, right?
