• Mechanical broadheads that simulate the flight of a field

point may be used where legal.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

Because of the power of the Barnett Crossbow and the

inconsistent properties of wooden shafts, which have a tendency

to warp, vary in spine stiffness; density; moisture absorption, all

of which result in inaccuracy. Barnett International DOES NOT

RECOMMEND their use under any circumstance.

Possible injury could result from shaft breakage, ect., we accept

no responsibility or liability arising from the use of wooded shaft

arrows.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Arrow Flight

Possibly the greatest variable in accuracy are the arrows. These

differ greatly and have totally different flight characteristics.

Generally speaking, target arrows are more accurate than

hunting arrows. Because of the surface area of the fixed bladed

broadheads used in hunting there is a tendency for the arrow to

“plane”. To help overcome this we suggest that practice be made

well in advance of the hunting season with the type of arrows

you will be using to achieve consistent groupings. Consider the

following when selecting arrows; heavy, stiff spined arrows with

fletching hold more energy for humane harvesting at reasonable

ranges (15-35 yards). Lighter arrows are much faster however

hold less energy.

1. If the string has been changed was it a Barnett string?

2. Are the arrows straight and fletches (vanes) in good

condition?

3. Does the arrow lie flat (true) on the flight groove? Is the

arrow retainer to tight or twisted? (Adjust arrow retainer

with a pair of needle nose pliers – USE CAUTION)

4. Does the arrow slide smoothly and evenly into the trigger

mechanism?

5. When cocking your crossbow, are you pulling equally on

each side on each side of the string? (Mark your new

strings on each side of the flight track as stated earlier)

After cocking the crossbow, make sure the marks are

showing evenly on each side of the trigger mechanism.
