[. . . ] (Avoid placing your head close to the limb tips when stringing and unstringing your bow). LIMB STRAIGHTENING (BUMPING) Should a limb become twisted, it will remain twisted until you straighten or `bump' it back to the straight position. `Bumping' involves the placement of one hand near the twisted section of the limb and the other hand on the riser section. A twisted limb can be straightened in this manner by applying pressure in the opposite direction of the twist. [. . . ] A lower brace height provides increased arrow velocity. Increased noise and poor arrow flight can be the result of a brace height that is too low. Twisting your bowstring will reduce its length and increase your brace height. Untwisting your bowstring or installing a longer bowstring will decrease your brace height. (Avoid untwisting flemish style bowstrings as string failure may occur). Experiment to find the brace height measurement that allows your bow to perform at its best with your particular style of shooting. STRING LENGTH Your bow's AMO (Archery Manufacturer and Merchant's Organization) length is marked on its lower limb. To achieve the correct brace height you will need to use a bowstring of the same AMO length. (Example: An AMO 62" bow requires an AMO 62" string). The actual length of your bowstring will be 4"-5" shorter than its marked AMO length. ARROWS All types of arrows (wood, aluminum, carbon) can be shot from your Martin (Howatt) bow. Regardless of arrow type, it is important that your arrows are correctly spined (have the correct spine stiffness) for your draw weight. Check your arrow manufacturers recommendations to determine the arrow size best suited for your bow. 7. What outdoor magazines do you read regularly ? 5.
