Always inspect your equipment before any game, as they are prone to wearing down with every use. You can also make it a habit to replace it annually for safety purposes
All players in the game, on the sideline and referees, should wear an Archery Tag Equipment facemask for safety. Make sure it fits properly, no movements or slippages
The bow limbs should be placed securely on the riser
As for bow use, hold it by the riser and keep it flat when not using. Leaning it on the wall can cause its limbs to warp with time
Always unstring and store your bows properly when they are not in use, probably in a cool and dry place
Arrow foam tips should always be cylinder in shape. In case of a worn foam tip, replace it or stop using the arrow altogether
Never fire a bow without an arrow, as it can cause its limbs to absorb the shock meant for the arrow. Dry firing a bow may lead to fractures on its limbs
The strings of the bow should be tight but also easy to pull back with an arrow. In case of a fuzzy or frayed bowstring, wax it ASAP
