COCKING THE CROSSBOW
DO NOT cock or load your crossbow unless you
are in a safe area to shoot.
1. Before cocking your crossbow, move the safety into the
“fire” position by pushing it forward and pull the trigger to
insure that the mechanism is ready to accept the string.
2. With the stirrup of the crossbow resting on the ground,
place your foot well into the stirrup and lay the center of the
cocking rope into the groove of the grip stock just behind
the scope rail. Set the cocking rope hooks securely on
the string facing down, on both sides of the rail. See Fig.
9. Pull straight up using the “T Handles” until the string is
fully engaged. See Fig. 10. DO NOT release the string
completely until you are certain it is engaged. If the
trigger latch did not capture the string, lower the string
gently and repeat steps 1 and 2.
3. When the crossbow is cocked, the safety is automatically
in the “safe” position as shown in Fig. 11. Always check
to ensure that the safety is into the “safe” position. Never
assume that the safety is on!!
