Yes ,I took mine off. Snipe the wire in the back where it is attached and it will come right off. I also put mi e an a piece of wood to prevent knocking it over.

Well its ok. but just make sure you're strong enough to attach the string to the bow. also make sure all the nuts and bolts are properly tightened. i lost one when it came undone and had to replace it. the last thing I'm gonna add ismake sure you are firing at a visible target. I've already lost all my bolts due to them going underneath the ground.

Honestly, I am unsure. I would take it to a specialty store, ie. BassProShop. Let the 'archery' dept look over the bow. They will be able to tell you if it is from abuse, neglect, high-heat exposure, etc. If it is not and it is simply damaged due to normal wear and tear, I would contact the manufacturer and ask them this question. I would think that after 3 yrs, there would be a question as to the liability of warranty

I use a cloth padded case. Probably a matter of how much rough treatment the bow gets when not in use.

it is already strung when it arrives. After a short while, I replaced mine. I bought an elementary guide and followed the instructions. Now I feel like a pro.

I believe it has to be restrung though to use it correctly. My leftie son has been using this for 2 months as it came strung. He can shoot it that way but it has destroyed his arrows. We didn't realize it until we got some real feather arrows and then we realized that the propelling string is on the wrong side for shooting left handed and will tear the feathers apart on the new arrows. I believe it can simply be solved by restringing it the opposite way.

It will be set up before it gets ship out, however, since the bridge is not glue on, and it is held in place by the tension of the strings. It can be knock off of or dislocate during shipping.

I was worried about that happening, so I left the string off when I assembled it

I decock my bow every time i use it. very simple to do.google decocking a crossbow. you must take it off safe with the bolt in it. then just take the bolt out and use your rope to ease the tension . def..google

I had the same concern and cut the strings off as soon as I got it. I figure I can use garbage ties or something to store it collapsed if I need to.

I also had a long bow and string length of 4 inches shorter seemed to work.I was not concerned with the string tension. Hope this helps

Yes, you need to remove the plastic. Try to be careful, so you don't ruin any strings.

If your spool is new, you should bump it on the ground while it is moving. Just press the trigger, then bump it on the ground. If your spool has fresh string put into it, you might have one of two problems. 1. chance that you didn't wind the string correctly or 2. the heat of the head might have fused the string together in which case you will have to go into the head and free the fused string.

I installed mine, but I didn't care for the clamp on string serving so I had a professional bow technician serve the rest string to my bow string.

You can def leave any quiver connected to your bow. I bought it as a gift for my wife and regret only buying one because I need one and now I'll pay shipping again.
