SAFETY
ALWAYS
treat your TAC crossbow as you would any weapon or
firearm. It is a powerful weapon that can be deadly if mishandled.
1)
ALWAYS
keep your crossbow pointed in a safe direction.
Never point your crossbow at anything you don’t intend to
shoot.
2)
NEVER
enter a vehicle with a loaded crossbow. Always
uncock and properly stow your crossbow for transporting.
3)
ALWAYS
check your crossbow to make sure that it is in
proper mechanical working order. Check for damaged, worn,
loose or missing parts.
4)
NEVER DRY FIRE YOUR CROSSBOW.
Firing the
crossbow without an arrow will cause damage not only to
the crossbow but possible bodily injury to you and anyone in
the area. It also voids the warranty.
5)
DO NOT
make changes or alterations to any parts of this
crossbow as it may cause an unsafe condition and will void
the warranty.
6)
NEVER
release the safety on your crossbow until you are
ready to shoot and are sure of your target.
7)
NEVER
shoot any arrow or other projectile from your
crossbow that has not been recommended by PSE. Use
only arrows of the proper size, weight and length.
8)
ALWAYS
keep your fingers and thumb out of the path of the
string and cables while shooting your crossbow. Failure to
do so will cause injury.
9) ALWAYS wear safety glasses when handling a bow.
10) PLEASE NOTE that the TAC Elite & TAC Ordnance
crossbows are designed to be maintained in an approved
bow press.
WARNING:
Use extreme caution while operating this weapon. Never walk,
run, crawl, ride a horse, operate an ATV, motorcycle or travel in a
vehicle with a loaded or cocked crossbow. Accidental discharge
could prove harmful or fatal.
