Sling-LOC Knobs
Tips specific to your LOC OutdoorZ bow sling adjustment knobs
Make sure to fully engage the knob to the body and tighten down securely. We've had a few customers contact us about an occasional missing adjustment knob — this is the most common cause.
Put a strike of bow string wax on the threads to keep things even tighter! It's a simple trick that makes a real difference in the field.
General Tips
Field-tested archery and hunting advice from the LOC OutdoorZ team
Wax on the threads of field points and any screw keeps things on your bow from rattling loose.
Put shaving cream on your binocular lens or scopes to keep them from fogging up — it really works!
Long distance shooting improves your accuracy at hunting distances (30 yards and under).
Wax your strings and cables often — this prevents them from drying out and saves you from replacing them all the time.
Use rail lube for your crossbow flight rail. Keeping it lubed increases the life of your new center serving.
Don't overheat and sweat when walking to your stand — carry your clothes in and dress 100 yards away.
Keep practice sessions short — fatigue destroys your form.
Don't get caught up in the straightness of arrows — the difference from .001 to .006 is the thickness of 1-1/2 human hairs.
Check your D-Loop from time to time — no need for a fat lip or a lost arrow when it lets go.
Remove your arrows from your quiver at the end of hunting season — it stretches out the rubber holders and causes them to slip.
Always wear a safety harness when you hunt — it's cheap insurance!
