Use caution it may be necessary to partially cock crossbow to remove stringer. When properly strung the string should be at right angles to the stock. Re-inspect bowstring loops for proper seating on nock ends. Note: Before loading to ensure proper arrow flight you must be sure that your string is marked on both sides of the outside flight track.
