Bear Archery F-Series Crossbow 2004 - Manual (Page 9)

Sighting-in your F-Series Crossbow with the Rear Peep Sight and Sight Pin
(Model F-300)
Follow these simple instructions to sight-in your F-Series Crossbow using Sight Pins and a Rear
Peep Sight.
1. With the Sight Pin near the top of the front sight bracket, shoot at your target, aiming for the bullseye
from a distance of 10 yards. You should be looking through the Rear Peep Sight, with the tip of the
Sight Pin appearing in the center hole.
2. If your shot is to the left, move the pin to the left. If the shot is to the right, move the pin to the right.
If the shot is high, move the pin up. If the shot is low, move the pin down. Always move the pin in the
direction of the error.
3. Continue in this manner until you can shoot repeatedly into the bullseye.
4. You may add additional pins at this time for greater distances by following the same instructions
above. It is recommended that the bottom pin be sighted-in for 35 – 40 yards.
Sighting-in your F-Series Crossbow with the Red Dot or Red 3 Dot Scope
(Models F-300+, F-325, F-340)
Follow these simple rules to sight-in your F-Series Crossbow using a Red Dot or Red 3 Dot Scope.
(It is recommended to use a bench rest while sighting-in to avoid moving the crossbow while
making adjustments.)
WARNING! WHEN SHOOTING YOUR CROSSBOW
FROM A BENCH REST MAKE SURE THAT ALL
PARTS OF THE REST ARE CLEAR OF THE STRING
PATH AND BELOW THE FLIGHT DECK.
1. With the scope mounted securely to the Main Frame, shoot at your target, aiming for the bullseye from
a distance of 10 yards. The red dot in the center of the optic should be placed directly over the bullseye.
2. If your shot is to the right or left, using the windage adjustment dial and with the dot
still on the bullseye, adjust the dial until the red dot is over your arrow’s point of impact.
If the shot is high or low, using the elevation adjustment dial, move the red dot to your
arrow’s point of impact. Always move the red dot in the direction of the error.
3. Continue in this manner until you can shoot repeatedly into the bullseye.
Arrow Selection and Flight
Due to the unique design of your F-Series Crossbow, it is imperative that only proper arrows are
used. These arrows are correctly weighted to absorb the high energy generated by the compound
design. Lighter arrows simulate a “dry-fire” condition and will result in damage to the crossbow
VOIDING the warranty. For top performance and safety we recommend aluminum, carbon, or
carbon/aluminum composite arrows with a minimum length of 20”, a minimum weight of 400 grains,
and a minimum outside diameter of .300”.
WARNING! 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.
