Mount Limb Accessories Within 2 Inches of Pocket Only

Do not mount accessories, in particular clamping-type vibration dampeners, more than 2 inches from limb pockets. Failure to follow this requirement voids your warranty and will likely damage the limbs. (See illustration.)

Use Only An Approved Bow Press

See your authorized Bear Archery dealer to make adjustments using a bow press. Approved presses are only those presses that capture the riser as close to the ends as possible and apply pressure to the limbs ONLY between the axle and limb flare. (See illustration.)

Press should be capable of adjusting to the riser’s full length.

Press must only apply pressure to the limbs in this area.

Approved Bow Presses

Fixed: Apple Archery® Eliminator - approved for all bows including Carnage and Attack Big Squeeze - must have limb fork attachment – approved for all bows – except Carnage and Attack Bow-A-Constrictor – approved for all bows ELP - all bows except Carnage and Attack EZ Press – approved for all bows including Carnage and Attack with limb adapters HTP - all bows except Carnage and Attack Pac-Press - all bows including Carnage and Attack Sure-Lok - (Must have USL wheel kit installed) - approved for all bows – except Carnage and Attack

Do not use an unapproved bow press!

Unapproved bow presses include those that use rollers to apply pressure to the mid-section of the limbs.

Use of an unapproved bow press will void your warranty and can result in immediate failure of the limbs and possible injury.
