Being new to xbows I try to read a lot. My question is how long am I able to keep my Sub-1 cocked before "letting it rest" as I've read?
Thx!

Not sure about the sub-1 but my Excal has stayed cocked 2 days to stretch strings and my Sniper has been cocked almost the same stretching new strings. Didn't hurt either bow. I would think ANY bow would be fine cocked all day for a looooong all day hunt though. JMO...…….

Thanks GBM, I am hoping so because that is what I am doing. However I have read to "rest" the limbs every 4 hrs - what?!

4 hours is a good idea. These bow limbs are not meant for prolonged stress....even though some people do get lucky....For a few times anyways
Excals are going to last the longest. The shorter the limb, the worse it is.
Thats just the facts.

Ah ha! This being so how long should limbs rest?

Best thing you can do is give Mission a call and talk with their customer service and go by their recommendations. Then, if there's a problem you did what they recommended.

1/2 hour? Dont ask me. Rest is rest.

Unless its documented with a witness and notarized...thats worthless.
You are (most likely) talking to less than a rep and nobody in the R&D dept.
Save the dime.

Good point, I'll find out who is who yhere however r&d is likely a good dept to explore this question with.
I have to say I find it strange this question has never been asked previously
