Make sure you check the bow out carefully or better yet have an expert take a look at it. Hopefully the bow was stored correctly.

Maybe while your there, have someone take a look at your draw and see about what you will be drawing to. It won't be exact at first but should be in the ballpark. They can also get you started in arrow setup. If you are shooting the bow at 28", I'd say you'll probably be shooting around 1916 aluminum, or 50/55 wood.

Also make sure that you only use Dacron string material.
