Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Cocking the Crossbow

Always use the provided rope cocking device for safe and consistent cocking. This ensures even tension on the string and engages the safety mechanisms correctly.

1. Place the foot stirrup on the ground and hold the crossbow firmly.
2. Attach the hooks of the rope cocking device to the crossbow string, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
3. Pull the rope upwards with steady, even pressure until the string engages the trigger mechanism and the safety automatically engages.
4. Remove the rope cocking device. The Anti-Dry Fire (ADF) system should now be active, preventing accidental discharge.

Loading an Arrow

With the crossbow cocked and the safety engaged:

1. Ensure the arrow is a 22" Headhunter™ arrow or equivalent, with the correct nock orientation.
2. Slide the arrow into the flight track, ensuring the nock fully engages the string and the arrow rests against the Soft Lok Floating Bristle Arrow Retainer.
3. Verify that the arrow is seated correctly and the broadhead (if used) clears the riser.

Decocking the Crossbow

Never dry fire the crossbow. If you need to de-cock without shooting, refer to the full manual for safe de-cocking procedures, which typically involve using a discharge arrow or a specific de-cocking method.

Scope Adjustment and Sighting

The 4x32mm Multi-Reticle Scope requires sighting in for accuracy. This process involves shooting at a target at a known distance and adjusting the scope's windage and elevation turrets until the point of impact matches the point of aim.

• Begin sighting at a close range (e.g., 20 yards) to ensure arrows hit the target.
• Adjust the elevation turret to move the point of impact up or down.
• Adjust the windage turret to move the point of impact left or right.
• Once sighted at the initial range, confirm accuracy at longer distances, utilizing the multi-reticle system for different ranges.

Manutenzjoni

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your crossbow.

• String and Cable Waxing: Apply the provided lubrication wax to the string and cables regularly (e.g., every 5-10 shots) to reduce friction and extend their lifespan.
• Spezzjoni: Before each use, inspect the string, cables, limbs, and all fasteners for any signs of wear, damage, or looseness.
• Tindif: Keep the crossbow clean and free of dirt and debris. Use a soft cloth for cleaning.
• Ħażna: Store the crossbow in a cool, dry place, uncocked, and away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
