Unloading your Crossbow
By far, the easiest way to un-cock a cocked crossbow is to fire
an arrow into a target or into the ground away from debris,
loose rocks or other people.
Sighting-In the Crossbow
Using the rear peep sight and front sight pins:
1.) Place the first sight pin near the top of the front sight
bracket.
2.) Shooting at a target from 10 yards, aim for the bullseye. If
the first shot is above the bullseye, move the pin up (or down if
the shot is below the bullseye).
3.) If the first shot is to the left of the bullseye, screw the pin to
the left (or right if the shot is to the right)
TIP: Move the pin in the direction of the error, follow the arrow.
Continue in this manner until you have three consecutive shots
into the bulls eye. Repeat this procedure with the other pin,
starting near the bottom of the sight bracket. It is
recommended that the bottom pin be sighted in to the 30- to
35-yard range.
Arrow Selection and Proper Flight
Due to the unique design of your Barnett crossbow, it is
imperative that only specified arrows are used. These arrows
are correctly weighted to absorb the high energy generated by
the compound design. Lighter arrows simulate a “dryfire”
condition and will result in damage to the crossbow VOIDING
the warranty. Barnett’s 16” 2216 arrows are correctly “spined”.
DRY FIRING WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
• Use 16” 2216 arrows with straight, offset or helical
fletches with or Moon Nock.
• Recommended fixed blade broadheads can be any three
blade low profile broadhead with a cutting diameter no
larger than 1-3/16”.
• When using fixed blade broadheads, the blades must be
aligned with the fletches of the arrow. This can be done
by placing a rubber o-ring between the broadhead and
the arrow front insert.
• Mechanical broadheads that simulate the flight of a field
point may be used where legal.
