    What needs to be to be looked at? Lube? Strings and cables? Mechanical side of the bow?

    Wax the string regularly. Every time you shoot 20 or more shots. Lube the rail and slides per manufacture guide. Check all Alan screws at start of season and a couple times during season. Check cams for dings or abrasions. You will have a learning curve hunting with one in a treestand
