Horton General Crossbow - Manual (Page 7)

7
All Horton crossbows come with integrated
safety wings & fore-grip.
When loading an arrow in your crossbow, do
not allow any part of either hand to move into
the release path of the bowstring because if the bow were to
accidentally fire, the string will severely injure your hand or
possibly amputate one or more fingers in its path. Carefully hold
the arrow with your index and middle finger and your thumb just
behind the broadhead or point as you slide it into position
(photo 6).
While handling or carrying your crossbow after
it is cocked, do not grab or hold it by the barrel
and fore-stock, thereby putting your hand into the release path
of the bowstring. If the bow were to accidentally fire, the string
will severely injure your hand or possibly amputate one or more
fingers (photo 7).
IMPROPER. With your fore-grip hand positioned as shown above, you will severely
injure or amputate your thumb if you fire your crossbow.
