Attach the Quiver

(Steps 1 & 2 for models F-325 & F-340 only. For model F-300+ begin at step 3.)

1. Remove and discard the front flat head screw in the underside of the Main Frame. Figure 5B.

2. Attach the Dovetail Mount Bracket using the 1” long flat head screw provided. Figure 5C.

3. Secure the Quick Detach Quiver Mount to the Dovetail Mount Bracket on the underside of the Main

Operation

Follow the instructions below for safe and enjoyable operation of your new F-Series Crossbow.

Cocking by Hand

1. Move the Safety Switch to the “Fire” position.

2. With the crossbow facing down and resting on the Cocking Stirrup, place your foot completely through

the Cocking Stirrup and grasp the string in each hand next to both sides of the stock. Use your hands
as guides next to the stock while standing straight up until you hear an audible click in the trigger
housing. The string is now locked into the shooting position. After the string is drawn into position,
relax string tension slightly to ensure the string latch holds securely. If the string is not held securely,
pull back again until you hear the click in the trigger housing. Figure 6A.

Cocking with the Rope Cocking Unit (Models F-325, F-340)

The effort required to cock your F-Series Crossbow by hand can be significantly reduced by using
the F-Series Rope Cocking Unit (#7516-000). This accessory also enhances accuracy by ensuring
perfect left-to-right string alignment every shot.

1. Move the Safety Switch to the “Fire” position.

2. With the crossbow facing down and resting on the Cocking Stirrup, place your foot completely through

the Cocking Stirrup.

Install the Red Dot or Red 3 Dot Scope (Models
F-300+, F-325, F-340)

1. Slide the scope onto the dovetail mount on the

top of the Main Frame.

2. Tighten the two screws on the scope, securing it

to the frame rail (you may move the scope along
the rail to obtain a desired distance from your eye
prior to tightening). Figure 5A.
