New to the Board
Hello everyone,
I've been lurking around this board for quite some time and thought that I would finally jump on in. I have been shooting a bow on and off for about ten years, but have only started getting serious about bowhunting about a year ago. I am currently shooting a Reflex Buckskin bow and am really enjoying it. I'll see if I can get a picture of my bow on here. Anyway, I have already learned alot from the folks on this board and hope to continue to do so.
I do have a question to start off with. Can anyone recommend any good books regarding bow maintenance and tuning. This is definitely one area I have neglected. Thanks!

Zak,
I notice you are from my old stomping grounds! I lived in the Ocean Springs/St. Martin area for about 15 years and my parents still live there. I killed a pretty nice six point just north of you in Stone County.

Welcome Dumpster,
If you've been lerking around a while I'm sure you've seen us mention the tuning guide on the easton website
http://www.eastonarchery.com/downloads/
Click on the tuning guide and print it off. I have mine in a 3 ring binder. It is indispencable info that should come with every bow. I don't know of any good book on maintence. I just change my string and cables every year and keep it clean. Others may have more info on maintence.
