Tips

Always pair the Bow with a compatible locking carabiner, preferably with a round or oval cross-section to ensure smooth rope action. For high-friction mode, use the side with the additional grooves when belaying a heavier climber or using thinner ropes. Regularly inspect the device for sharp edges or excessive wear, especially after extended use on sandy or gritty ropes.
