But since we're so close to the season, and Jonathan can attest, people are starting to freak out last minute, right before season.
Um, one thing that I wanted to go into was the little things that you should be looking on it, looking at on your bow that make a big deal.
So we've gone over some of the points before, but as you can see, there's a bow in back of me, and there's a reason why it's there.
Last year I had someone's bow blow up, and that was a goner, so I just set them up with this one.
They killed a couple of deer, and now they came to me, brought it back, and I've got to set this up for someone else, one of my girls.
So I'm doing that, and while I was looking at it, I said to myself, "Gee, there's a lot of things on here that we should probably point out, and if you can see a physical bow in front of you, it might help." So the first thing that I'm gonna say is, we went over a couple times already, inspect what your strings look like.
Are there any fraying? Is there anything else going on? Um, the obvious things that you can be looking at sometimes, uh, don't jump out at you as being wrong, and they really can be.
Now, this doesn't just apply to bows that have been sitting in a box or a closet for a year.
Um, Jonathan, when you're in the shop and someone brings you-- I know you had people bringing in bows yesterday that they haven't touched in a while.
