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 up 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 above the grip of the stock just behind
the scope rail. (Fig 11, 11a). Set the cocking rope hooks
securely on the string facing up, on both sides of the rail. (Fig.
12). Pull straight up using the “T Handles” until the string is
fully engaged. (Fig. 12, 12a). 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. Always check to ensure that the safety is
into the “safe” position. Never assume that the safety is on!!
