Safety Guidelines
Safety Switch
Each F-Series Crossbow is equipped with an automatic, ambidextrous safety, which engages
every time the crossbow is cocked. The safety must be released before each shot. This, as with
any other mechanical device, does not guarantee total safety, as no safety device is a substitute
for common sense and safe handling. The crossbow trigger is only to be pulled when the safety
is in “fire” position and never when it is in the “safe” position or anywhere between “safe” and “fire.”
Do not attempt to alter or modify the safety or the trigger mechanism. If the safety will not release,
push the trigger pull forward, then release the safety catch.
General Safety Guidelines
The following guidelines should be followed at all times:
• Treat your F-Series Crossbow with the respect that is due any bow or sporting firearm. It can be
dangerous if handled improperly.
• Before use and prior to loading an arrow, check your crossbow thoroughly for worn, loose, damaged
or missing parts. This will help you avoid malfunctions and possible injury.
• Never point a crossbow at anything you do not intend to shoot. When in the field or hunting be
especially aware of your target, and keep in mind that hunters wear camouflage clothing which makes
them difficult to identify.
• Never “dry-fire” a crossbow (never pull the trigger without an arrow properly positioned on the string).
This can result in damage to the crossbow’s limbs, strings or cables, and could possibly cause
personal injury. Dry-firing your F-Series Crossbow will void the warranty.
• Never release the safety until you are ready to shoot.
• Never attempt to shoot any projectile other than arrows specifically designed for your F-Series Cross
bow which have an overall length of 20” or more, a minimum mass weight of 400 grains, and a
minimum outside diameter of .300”.
• Never expose your crossbow to extreme heat, such as in an enclosed automobile or trunk on a hot
day. Excessive heat may damage the limbs and strings of your crossbow.
