User Guide

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 bolt 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 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.
6. When cocking your crossbow make a conscious effort to
hold the string on the flight track so as not to lift over
the arrow retainer.
7. Are you putting one fletching down in the flight groove?
8. When using broadheads, line up the blades with the
fletches on the arrow (using o-ring).
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? (could cause limb to
crack)
2. Inspect the limb for splits or cracks.
3. Are you using a Barnett string? (the proper length)
