Warranty
Congratulations on your new Omega longbow! Your new bow is designed to offer dependable performance to last a lifetime. The following instructions should be read thoroughly and followed closely to ensure that your bow is in good shape for many years to come. I stand behind each Omega I build with a limited lifetime warranty applicable to the original owner. Every bow is built by hand using natural materials, and these materials require proper care and regular attention to make the most of their design so please read the following carefully. With a little care your bow should serve you well for many years to come!
Please read through the Receipt page, sign at the end, and keep this in your records for any required warranty work/coverage. The Receipt sheet must be supplied for any repair, refund, or replacement and the return shipping is the responsibility of the customer. Each Omega comes with a limited lifetime warranty applicable only to the original owner. At any point should a bow fail due to construction or material flaws, the original customer will be entitled to a repair or replacement of equal or lesser value, or a comparable newer model. Bows that fail due to improper handling, storage, or misuse are NOT covered under warranty. Monetary refunds are NOT available after the first 30 days from the date of delivery, or if the bow is altered in any way. Shipping and the insured safety of the returned bow is the responsibility of the customer when collecting a refund or replacement, and the broken bow must be returned with this signed receipt sheet for inspection when requesting a replacement. The warranty is considered null until signed by the original owner, matching our files.
All Omegas can handle high performance string materials and we include a custom fit high-performance endless loop strings with each Omega longbow. Flemish style strings and softer Dacron (B-55) strings also are suitable. “Skinny” strings with very low strand counts are not recommended or covered under warranty, and we do not warranty damage/issues caused by using strings other than those we include/supply. String silencers are recommended for hunting applications and maximum noise reduction. Bowquivers must be strap-on or slide-on style. Screw in styles with bushings or screws are not recommended and will void the warranty.
A nock set can be tied on to the string easily with floss or thread. Crimp on metal nocks are another option, but we recommend against over-clamping as this may cut the string and cause a dry fire. Masking tape can be used for a temporary tuning nock set. Two nock points are recommended to prevent nock slide upon release. This issue can manifest itself as erratic arrow flight, excessive rest wear, and noise.
Bows can be shot with split finger or 3 under holds. A fixed-crawl can be set but full string walking is not recommended with an Omega longbow. When setting a fixed-crawl the top drawing finger should be kept level with the arrow shelf to avoid undue stress on the limb and maintain warranty coverage. For example, if a 1” crawl is desired, you would set the bottom nock set at 1- 1.25” up from shelf level and set your top drawing finger no lower than 1” below the bottom nock set. This will help keep the limbs in time, allowing for optimal performance and arrow flight. Drawing below the shelf and overstressing the bottom limb is not covered under warranty.
Bows must be stored inside either horizontally or suspended from a rack by the bowstring in a safe place free from excessive temperatures or moisture. Bows should never be stored on end, outside, in a vehicle, or in an uninsulated building/shed. A bow should never be left strung in locations with high temperatures or humidity and should be allowed to cool completely before stringing. Extreme heat, humidity, and improper storage can lead to bow failure and are not covered under warranty. Finish damage is not covered under warranty, however if the finish is damaged the bow can be returned for a refinishing service for a nominal fee. You may also address finish damage on the bow yourself by applying outdoor-urethane or heavy paste wax to the bow/worn areas. If a bow fails and shows that the finish was damaged and left uncorrected, it will not be covered under warranty. Wax can be used to safely dull the new finish shine and add additional protection.
The bow can be safely stored strung, indefinitely, between your shooting sessions under the above recommended storage conditions. Improperly stringing the bow can result in personal injury or damage to the bow. The proper style of bow stringer will have at least one rubber pad or “gripper” to hold the bow limb below the nock. The two-pocket style stringers should not be used and may cause injury. Damage caused by improper stringing is not covered under warranty.
Arrows must always weigh a minimum of 9 grains per pound of draw weight at your draw length, as measured (not calculated) by a calibrated grain scale. The bow must NEVER be dry fired (shot without an arrow or too light of an arrow). Bows must not be overdrawn. Bow lengths/Draw maximums: Dart 58”/30”, Royal Huntsman 62”/30”, 64”/31”, 66”/33”. Brace height is marked on the bow and can be adjusted up or down slightly as necessary, and should be braced between 7.25-8.25”. All measurements are from the string to the deepest part of the locator grip on the belly side (AMO standard).
