User manual BARNETT CROSSBOWS RHINO SPORT MAGNUM

[. . . ] The crossbow trigger is only to be pulled when the safety is in "fire" position and NEVER when it is in the "safe" position or anywhere between "safe" and "fire. " Do not attempt to alter or modify the safety or the trigger mechanism. If the safety will not release, this happens when the trigger is pulled before the safety switch is released. To correct this, push the trigger pull forward, then release the safety catch. 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. [. . . ] 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. Note: 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. 8 Firing your Crossbow To fire the arrow from your crossbow, the safety must be released. The safety release button is located on the rear side of the trigger shroud. See photos following for correct positioning. 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. 9 2. ) Shooting at a target from 10 yards, aim for the bulls eye. 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) 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. 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 35 to 40 yard range. Arrow Retainer When loaded, the arrow should lie "flat" in the flight grove. 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 grove. We recommend the use of Barnett arrows manufactured specifically for your Barnett crossbow.
