RANGER Shown with optional accessories.
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a quality Barnett crossbow. Please follow all safety, assembly and trouble shooting instructions contained in the manual. It is extremely important to read and follow the instructions before attempting to use your crossbow. Serious injuries to yourself or others, damage to your crossbow or poor performance from your crossbow could result from failure to thoroughly read and understand these instructions.
Safety Guidelines For: RANGER The RANGER is equipped with an automatic safety, which engages every time the crossbow is cocked. The safety must be released before each shot. This, as with any other mechanical device does not guarantee total safety, as no safety device is a substitute for common sense and safe handling. NEVER pull the trigger on a crossbow when the safety is in the “safe” position or anywhere between “safe” and “fire”.

Rear Sight for Ranger The Ranger is equipped with an adjustable Rear Sight (Unless bow is shipped in a package or kit.) Preinstalled at the factory.

The safety is now automatically engaged. Insert bowstring loops through the loops of cable stringer and seat over nock ends. Release safety catch. Pull back firmly on the string, removing all tension from the cable stringer. Pull trigger while holding string, letting string down. Use caution, as the string will have much tension on it.

Point the crossbow in a safe direction and slide the safety forward. 2. The crossbow will now fire when the trigger is pulled. The safety MUST be disengaged prior to every shot. BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR FINGERS BELOW THE FLIGHT TRACK WHILE SHOOTING. INCORRECT CORRECT CORRECT INCORRECT This will prevent your hands from being struck by the string as it travels forward.
TROUBLESHOOTING Arrow Flight Possibly the greatest variable in accuracy are the arrows. These differ greatly and have totally different fight characteristics. Generally speaking, target arrows are more accurate than hunting arrows. Because of the surface area of the fixed bladed broad heads used in hunting there is a tendency for the arrow to “plane”.
String Fraying 1. Are you using Barnett lubewax on the center string serving and every 5-10 shots and on the flight track when needed? 2. Keep the trigger mechanism and flight surface free of obstruction. 3. Check for metal burrs on the flight track and arrow end caps. Limb Weak or Losing Power 1. Has the crossbow been dry fired? (This may cause the limb to crack) 2. Inspect the limb for splits or cracks. 3. Are you using a Barnett string? (The proper length.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Care of String The owners kit contains a tube of lube wax that should be applied to the center serving and flight track every 5 – 10 shots. If the crossbow has been exposed to excessive moisture you may need to apply wax sooner. Apply lubewax to the center serving of string, rolling string forwards and backwards to ensure even application of wax. Apply lubewax to the flight track in order to extend string life and reduce friction.
