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 mid-section. Place

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.
