User manual BARNETT CROSSBOWS QUAD AVI

[. . . ] When the trigger is pulled before the safety is released, the safety may not release. To correct this, push the trigger pull forward, then release the safety catch. The following rules should be followed at all times: EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED AT ALL TIMES WHEN HANDLING A CROSSBOW. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. [. . . ] The tumbler is the part of the trigger that the string is resting on when cocked. If it is resting at the top of the tumbler, use both thumbs and gently push string down until it is seated at the bottom of the tumbler to ensure proper arrow flight. 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. When restringing your crossbow mark the serving of the string, on each side of the flight track at rest, where the string leaves the flight surface (track) and apply Barnett Lubewax to the string serving and track surface. Arrow Retainer When loaded, the arrow should lie "flat" in the flight groove. The arrow retaining spring should not be twisted to the left or right and should exert only enough pressure on the rear of the arrow to hold it in place. At this point, the arrow should be lying directly parallel with the flight groove. We recommend the use of Barnett arrows manufactured specifically for your Barnett crossbow. Loading your Crossbow · Place the arrow forward under the front sight bracket and lay the arrow on the flight surface. When using arrows with half moon nocks, be sure that the odd colored fletch is placed in the flight groove and that the concaved nock is parallel to the string. · 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. 9 Firing your Crossbow To fire the arrow from your crossbow: · Point the crossbow in a safe direction. BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR FINGERS BELOW THE STOCK FORE END (FLIGHT TRACK) WHILE SHOOTING. Note photos below. This will prevent your hands from being struck by the string as it travels forward. The velocity of the string hitting your fingers will cause severe injury. Unloading your Crossbow By far, the easiest way to un-cock a cocked crossbow is to fire an arrow into a target or into the ground away from debris, loose rocks or other people. Sighting-In the Crossbow Using the rear peep sight and front sight pins: · Place the first sight pin near the top of the front sight bracket. 10 · Shooting at a target from 10 yards, aim for the bulls eye. If the first shot is above the bulls eye, move the pin up (or down if the shot is below the bulls eye). · If the first shot is to the left of the bulls eye, screw the pin to the left (or right if the shot is to the right). Continue in this manner until you have three consecutive shots into the bulls eye. Repeat this procedure with the other pin, starting near the bottom of the sight bracket. It is recommended that the bottom pin be sighted in to the 30 to 35 yard range. Arrow Selection and Proper Flight Due to the unique design of your Barnett crossbow, it is imperative that only specified arrows are used. These arrows are correctly weighted to absorb the high energy generated by the compound design.
