Place the cocking stirrup (foot claw) on the ground with one foot in the stirrup and the stock end resting against your thigh. Place both hands on the string no more than ½" on each side of the crossbow body. With even pressure on each side, pull the string back until it locks into the trigger mechanism with an audible "click". Slowly release hand pressure on the string until you are sure it is locked securely into the trigger mechanism. The crossbow is now cocked with the safety on. Note: The serving on the string has had a line on each side of the flight surface marked at the factory. After cocking the crossbow make sure that the marks on the string are showing equally on each side of the trigger mechanism. Unevenly cocked crossbows will have erratic arrow flight. When restringing your crossbow mark the serving of the string, on each side of the flight track at rest. Apply Barnett Lubewax to the string serving and track surface. Loading your Crossbow 1. ) 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. 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. If arrows with moon nocks are used, be sure that the odd colored fletch is placed in the flight grove and that the concaved nock is parallel to the string. 9 Firing your Crossbow To fire the arrow from your crossbow: 1. ) Point the crossbow in a safe direction. 2. ) Push the safety forward to the off position. The crossbow will now fire when the trigger is pulled. The safety MUST be disengaged in this manner prior to every shot. [. . . ] To extend the life of your cables it is important to apply ARCHERY STRING WAX to all non-served areas of the cables and string every 30 50 shots or when white fuzz begins to appear. If the crossbow has been exposed to excessive moisture you may need to apply wax sooner. PRIOR TO EVERY SHOOTING SESSION, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A COMPLETE CHECK OF STRING, CABLES, WHEELS, SCREWS AND ARROWS BE MADE. · · · Always store your crossbow in a safe, dry place. [. . . ]
