3.0 Operating the Trigger Safety: CAUTION: Like all devices, an AIRBOW safety can fail. Even when the safety is “ON SAFE”, you should continue to handle the AIRBOW in a safe manner. 1. Locate the Safety lever in front of the Trigger. 2. The words “Fire” and “Safe” appear with arrows above the Safety lever indicating the direction to pull or push the Safety lever for each function. The condition of the safety is indicated by the position of the Safety Lever. SAFE FIRE 3.1 To Put the AIRBOW “ON SAFE”: 1.
3. Close the top cocking lever by pushing the lever forward and down until the lever comes to rest against the top of the AIRBOW. 4. The AIRBOW is now cocked. 5.2 Uncocking the AIRBOW: 1. Make sure the AIRBOW is "UNLOADED" and in a SAFE DIRECTION. 2. Grasp the top cocking lever and pull upward and rearward until it cannot move any further. 3. While holding the cocking lever in this position, take the AIRBOW “OFF SAFE”. 4. Keep the AIRBOW pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION and pull and hold the trigger. 5.
7.0 Trigger: The Trigger of your AIRBOW is a 2 stage unit. The purpose of a 2 stage trigger is to provide feedback to the shooter when pulling the trigger up to the point just before the trigger breaks and the AIRBOW fires. This provides for a very controlled release of the trigger. The trigger is factory set for safe and reliable use. No maintenance should be required. The trigger is designed to have approximate pull weights of 2 lbs on the 1st stage and break at 3 lbs on the 2nd stage. 1.

Stabilize your AIRBOW and shoot a group at your target. 3. Adjust the windage for left/right and elevation for up/down. One click of adjustment will change the arrows’s point of impact ¼ MOA OR ¼” at 100 yards, 1/8” at 50 yards. 4. Take a follow up shot and continue to adjust until your reticle and groups are aligned.
