User manual BARNETT CROSSBOWS REVOLUTION XS

[. . . ] The following rules should be followed at all times: · Always keep your fingers below the flight track and out of the path of cables and strings when firing the crossbow. Dry firing will void the warranty and could result in damage to the limbs, string and cables, possibly causing personal injury. · Always use an adequate target and backstop when target shooting. · Always use suitable crossbow arrows, such as Barnett's 22" Carbon Crossbow arrows with moon nocks. [. . . ] Adjust the angle and or height so your eye aligns naturally and comfortably with your peep sight or scope. 8 8 OPERATION OF THE REVOLUTION XS Cocking your Crossbow Be sure to apply Barnett lubewax to the flight track before cocking. Place the cocking stirrup (foot claw) on the ground with one foot in the stirrup and the stock end resting against your thigh. Place both hands on the string no more than ½" on each side of the crossbow body. With even pressure on each side, pull the string back until it locks into the trigger mechanism with an audible "click". Slowly release hand pressure on the string until you are sure it is locked securely into the trigger mechanism. 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. Loading your Crossbow 1. ) Place the arrow forward under the front sight bracket and lay the arrow on the flight surface. When using arrows with moon nocks, be sure that the odd colored fletch is placed in the flight grove and that the concaved nock is parallel to the string. 2. ) 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. If arrows with moon nocks are used, be sure that the odd colored fletch is placed in the flight grove and that the concaved nock is parallel to the string. 9 Firing your Crossbow To fire the arrow from your crossbow: 1. ) Point the crossbow in a safe direction. BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR FINGERS BELOW THE FORE END (FLIGHT TRACK) WHILE SHOOTING. Please see photos below. CORRECT INCORRECT CORRECT INCORRECT 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 safest and only recommended way to un-cock a loaded crossbow is to fire it 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: 1. ) Place the first sight pin near the top of the front sight bracket. If the first shot is above the bullseye, move the pin up (or down if the shot is below the bulls eye). 3. ) 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) 10 TIP: Move the pin in the direction of the error, follow the arrow. Continue in this manner until you have three consecutive shots into the bulls eye.
