TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT.)
Issue Possible Reasons & Solutions
Vanes on the arrows are wrinkled
or worn.
• Due to the high speed of the PSE TAC Crossbow, the vanes
will change, wear, and wrinkle from shooting. PSE carefully
selected the best vane option available for a combination of
accuracy and durability. Even if the vanes appear to be worn
or wrinkled they should continue to shoot very well and it is not
necessary to re-fletch until vanes have tears, are completely
ripped off, or a serious drop in accuracy has been observed.
Periodically shots will impact very
low.
• It is very important to draw to the same exact position each
shot. Do not over draw the crossbow. Stop drawing immedi-
ately when the pin drops into the full draw position catch. Over
drawing the crossbow will cause the arrow to impact very low
because the front of the release is raised up which angles the
arrow down.
• If overdrawn, crank the release all the way back and press the
ratchet release down.Then let the release forward until it stops
in the notch.
• See step 6 of “Cocking and Loading”.
Scope will not “zero” at close
ranges
• The scope rail on the upper receiver is machined at an angle
to maximize the range that a scope can be zeroed at. Not all
scopes will have enough internal adjustment to “zero” at close
ranges.
• The vertical position of the arrow rest may need to be ad-
justed. Have a qualified technician tune the bow. Shooting
through paper to observe arrow flight is recommended.
• Don’t deliberately move the arrow rest to compensate for the
scope’s lack of adjustment if the bow is in tune. This will only
cause poor arrow flight and result in a loss of accuracy.
Strings and/or serving wear • Strings and ropes will wear and eventually need replacement.
~800 shots under normal use.
• Applying wax or string lube will greatly increase the life of the
strings.
• If significant wear occurs in only a few shots, debris or a burr
may be the cause.
• Bring to a PSE Dealer or contact PSE Customer Service.
PSE TAC Maintenance Kit P/N 01209 contains the necessary
replacement parts.
Trigger won’t actuate when
pulled.
• Due to replaceable AR-15 triggers, it is possible that the
trigger pin has slipped in position. Verify that the trigger pins
are fully captured on both sides of the housing/lower receiver
component or replace as necessary.
