Takedown recurve bows

Place a stick-on style rest on the riser above the shelf, centering the rest over the deepest part of the grip throat. If your
stick-on rest has a hole in it, place that hole directly over the riser hole. (See Figure 7) Screw a bolt-on rest into that hole.

For a plunger/rest combo, you must use a stick-on rest. Center the rest over the hole and then thread your plunger
through the hole from the opposite side of the riser. When finished, the arm of the rest should be aligned with the plunger
button above the shelf. (See Figures 8 & 9)
NOCK HEIGHT
For proper arrow flight, you have to attach your arrow to the right place on the
bow string, in relation to your arrow rest. You will want to attach nok sets or tie
thread to the bowstring above and below the exact spot on the string where
your arrow's nock should attach so that you can be sure you are nocking the
arrow in the same location for each shot. (See Figure 10) Use a bow square to
Figure 10
determine the correct nocking point.
Set one end of the bow square on your rest and then attach the other end of the square to the bowstring. You want the
arm of the square to be perpendicular to the string. Tie your thread or attach a nok set 3/8 to ½ inch above the center line
on your bow square. Nock an arrow and then tie thread or clamp another nok set directly beneath that arrow nock. Leave
just a sliver of space below the nock and your lower nocking point so that the arrow nock doesn't get pinched at full draw.
CARING FOR YOUR BOW
Your Galaxy bow is very low maintenance. Risers, limbs and bows all are water resistant. Simply wipe them dry with a
towel should they get wet, to prevent water damage. Rub the string regularly with an approved bowstring wax to keep it
from drying out. Store your bow in a cool dry location when not in use. While it is OK to store modern recurve and long-
bows with the string attached, it is safest to unstring the bow when it's not in use, so others cannot misuse the bow.
Keep an eye out for cracks in any part of your bow. Should you find one, immediately stop using that bow and take it to
your local Galaxy dealer.
