Owner’s Manual
Use extreme caution when hunting from a tree stand. The accidental 14.
dropping of a rearm may cause a discharge, which may result in severe
injury or death. Be sure the rearm is unloaded before raising or lowering
the rearm.
Never rely upon a mechanical safety!15. Firearms should always be handled
as if ready to re, regardless of the position or condition of the mechanical
safety.
Always use proper cleaning procedures. Firing of an improperly 16.
maintained or corroded rearm may lead to unsafe pressure conditions
and/or cause the barrel to rupture resulting in severe injury or death.
Make sure the projectile is fully seated on the powder charge in a 17.
muzzleloader. The ring of a “short start,” or improperly seated bullet,
may cause the barrel to burst resulting in severe injury or death.
Always keep the barrel pointed in a safe direction when loading. Never 18.
allow the barrel to point at anything that you do not intend to shoot.
Do not attempt to alter the internal parts of your gun. Doing so may 19.
create a dangerous situation resulting in an accidental ring of the gun
and possible severe injury or death. Such alterations generally void the
warranty.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIREARM SAFETY! As a gun owner, you
must accept a set of demanding responsibilities. At all times you must handle

FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS: CVA encourages
that you take a certied hunter’s safety course before using the Apex or any other
rearm. Consult your local Game & Fish authorities for information on the courses
available. Even if you do not intend to hunt game animals, the information gained
from taking a hunter’s safety course can help in preventing dangerous or fatal
accidents from occurring.
