Cocking your Crossbow
Be sure to apply Barnett lubewax to the center string
serving, cables and the flight track area from the string
to the trigger area.
1.) Place the foot stirrup on the ground with one foot in the
stirrup and the stock resting against your mid section.
See figure 2
2.) Place both hands on the string at each side of the
crossbow body no more than ½ inch from crossbow
body.
3.) Using even pressure pull
the string back until it locks
into the trigger mechanism
with an audible “click”. Be sure
to apply downward pressure
against flight track.
4.) Slowly release hand
pressure on the string until you
are sure it is locked securely
into the trigger mechanism. The crossbow is now cocked
with the safety on.
Note: The serving on the string has had a line on each side of
the flight surface marked at the factory. After cocking the
crossbow make sure that the marks on the string are showing
equally on each side of the trigger mechanism. Unevenly
cocked crossbows will have erratic arrow flight. When
restringing your crossbow mark the serving of the string, on
each side of the flight track at rest. Apply Barnett Lubewax to
the string serving and track surface.
Arrow Retainer
When loaded, the arrow should lie “flat” in the flight grove. The
arrow retaining spring should not be twisted to the left or right
and should exert only enough pressure on the rear of the arrow
to hold it in place. It should not lift the front of the arrow off
the flight grove. At this point, the arrow should be lying directly
parallel with the flight grove. We recommend the use of Barnett
arrows manufactured specifically for your Barnett crossbow.
