SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR: Panzer V The Panzer V 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”.
ASSEMBLY Panzer V Installing Prod 1. Open prod latch on bottom side of stock. 2. Instert stock through strung prod with string facing upward. 3. Rotate prod where the string lays on top of the flight track,insert prod into the opening the prod latch provided. 4. Close prod latch and insert nut into recess on opposite side. Insert screw through prod latch and tighten 5. Slide pressure pad in between the nose bolt and the prod. Tighten until prod is firmly seated. IMPORTANT Do not over tighten the nose bolt.
4. Release safety catch. 5. Pull back firmly on the string, removing all tension from the cable stringer. 6. Pull trigger while holding string, letting string down. Use caution, as the string will have much tension on it. At this point the stringer will have no tension on it. 7. Making sure each loop of the bowstring is firmly seated on the nock ends, pull the cable stringer loop off each end. Use caution it may be necessary to partially cock crossbow to remove stringer.
CROSSBOW OPERATION Loading the Crossbow Prior to every shooting session it is recommended that a complete check of the prod, string, bolts, nuts screws and foot stirrup be made. Before cocking your crossbow make sure your foot stirrup has been attached in accordance with the assembly instructions. Cocking your crossbow with an incorrectly attached foot stirrup may cause bodily injury.
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. The velocity of the string hitting your fingers will cause severe injury.
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 broadheads used in hunting there is a tendency for the arrow to “plane”.
2. Keep the trigger mechanism and flight surface free of obstruction. 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) Helpful Information • Use 16” arrows with offset, straight or helical fletch and moon nock. • Recommended broadheads – Any three blade low profile broadhead with a cutting diameter no more than 1 ½”.
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.
WARRANTY INFORMATION The stock, trigger mechanism and limb are covered under a limited lifetime warranty. Our liability extends to parts, labor and return transportation to the consumer. Not covered are: strings, arrows, transportation of product to our Service Center; damage caused by abuse, modification or failure to perform normal maintenance; or any other expense, consequential damages, coincidental damages, or incidental expenses including damage to property or person.
