CROSSBOW OPERATION
Cocking The Crossbow
Prior to every shooting session it is recommended that a complete check of the prod, string, bolts, nuts screws and foot stirrup be made. Before cocking your crossbow make sure your foot stirrup has been attached in accordance with the assembly instructions. Cocking your crossbow with an incorrectly attached foot stirrup may cause bodily injury. Be sure to apply Barnett lubewax to the center string serving and the flight track area from the string to the trigger area.
1.) Place the foot stirrup on the ground with the stock end resting in your
your foot firmly in the foot stirrup. Place both hands on the bowstring about one inch on each side of the crossbow body. See Figure 3
2.) Using both hands with even tension, pull the string back until it locks into trigger mechanism with an audible “click”.
4.) The crossbow is now cocked.
5.) Verify your string markings are an equal distance on either side of the flight track. Place the arrow forward under the front sight bracket and lay the arrow on the flight surface. When using arrows with moon nocks, be sure that the odd colored fletch is placed in the flight grove and that the concaved nock is parallel to the string.
Loading The Crossbow
1.) Place the arrow forward under the front sight bracket and lay the arrow on the flight surface. Be sure that the odd colored fletch is placed in the flight grove.
2.)Slide the arrow back under the arrow retaining spring and fully into the trigger mechanism. Note: The arrow retaining spring should only exert enough pressure to hold the arrow in place without lifting it from its position on the flight surface.
