Helpful Information

• Use 16” 2216 arrows with offset, straight or helical

fletches and moon nock.

• Recommended broadheads – Any three blade low profile

broadhead with a cutting diameter no more than 1 ½”.

• Mechanical broadheads that simulate the flight of a field

point may be used where legal.

• When using broadheads, the blades must be aligned

with arrow fletching. This can be done by placing a

rubber o-ring between the broadhead and the arrow

front insert.

IMPORTANT

Because of the power of the Wildcat III 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.

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.

Keeping your Crossbow Peak Condition/Maintenance

• Always store your crossbow in a safe, dry place.

•

Do not expose your crossbow to extreme heat, such as

closed, hot vehicles or near heat sources.

• Inspect string for signs of wear. String showing wear

should be replaced immediately.

• Periodically put a few drops of quality lightweight

machine oil in the trigger mechanism.

•

Keep the flight track and the string serving waxed,

reducing friction.
