Care for my new BK II
Ok I have shot it over 200 times. Is their anything I should do on a regular basis? After reading the Hoyt:<img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle>Unhappy camper post I made it a point to inspect every inch of my bow before & after I shoot. I have also been checking all the set screw & bolt tightness. Should I use Loc-Tight on them? I haven't had any issues of anything coming loose, & don't want to!
Is it ok to keep it in the garage?
Good judgment comes from years of bad judgment.

I wouln't say you "have" to Loc Tite everything but it probably wouln't hurt to Loc Tite all the screws that you know you aren't going to be loosening for any reason. Of course make sure you use the Blue Loc Tite...I Loc Tite most of the screws on my bows just to give me the assurance they're going to stay tight...
I suggest the only real regular maintenance be make sure the string and cables are well waxed (I use Dalton's string conditioner which is recommended by W/C),lightly lubing the axles on a yearly basis and do inspect the bow every now and then. Periodic inpection is some of the best maintenance you can perform...
It shouldn't hurt it to keep it in the garage as long as it's not real nasty out there, and you arent out cutting wood on a table saw with saw dust flying all over..I think you get my point....
Have fun with your BK2....<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
