Polaris Equipment

The Polaris youth bows have always boasted high standards of safety, precision and a fun way to learn archery techniques for kids. If you have got yourself one then here is a step by step method on how to assemble these youth bows.

Removing thumbscrews:

The Polaris youth bows will come with a riser and thumbscrews. You will first need to remove the thumbscrews. Once you remove the thumbscrews, you will notice that the top length is the one, which has no writing on the backside. This length is also called the Belly. Take one end of the length, which is pointing away and then align it to the riser horizontally. Take the thumbscrew and screw these two – the riser and the length one over the other. Make sure, that when you are screwing the thumbscrews into place, you ensure a firm but not too tight hold. Making it too tight will result in a faulty shooting on the youth bows.

Ideally, the grip should be just enough to hold the riser and the length in their place – that’s it!

The other side:

Take the other side of the length and then attach it to the riser in horizontal fashion. Then, using the thumbscrews attach the length and the riser of the youth bows in place. Again, make sure the hold is not too tight. You just want to be able to hold both of them in place.

Right handed and left handed youth bows

One common question many people face is whether a bow is right handed or left handed. In a right handed youth bows set you will find the tips of the bow moving away from the center and the shelf located on the left. Thus, you hold this bow in your left hand but pull it with your right hand. Hence, it is called a right handed youth bows set. In the case of a left handed bow, the shelf will be placed on the right side (from the archer’s perspective) and the string is drawn with the left hand. Thus, such a youth bows set is known as a left handed bow.

Installation of elevated rest

The elevated rest helps an archer accomplish more vane clearance and better feather while shooting. This is an optional attachment which can be bought if needed for the youth bows set. If you have bought one, then follow these instructions for installation:

- It is recommended that you use Isopropyl alcohol for this. You will not get this as part of the kit but we recommend you buy one

- Dip a small towel or paper napkin in Isopropyl alcohol and then use it to clean off any grease, dirt etc. from the portion of the youth bows set under the shelf

- Punch out the hole and then stick it to the elevated rest

- Make sure both the holes of the rest and the sticker are aligned well

- Place the rest on the place below the shelf

- Press down neatly

- That’s it – you just finished installing the elevated rest of your
