How to use a crossbow pistol?

• Before use, make sure the safety device of your weapon is engaged. Only use arrows that match your crossbow. There are different types of arrows, so make sure it's appropriate. Keep the safety device on until you're ready to shoot.
• Never forget to point the weapon in a safe direction and plan the steps to take if the target is missed. Keep your hands under the string and out of its trajectory, one on the stock and the other on the forearm. Avoid shooting into water or on hard surfaces, as the arrow can ricochet and cause an accident.
• Before arming the arrow, check that all shooting conditions are met. First, be comfortable in your position. Then, pull the string with your hands until you hear a click, release the safety catch, after which you can shoot. Refrain from using your hands or the string to disarm, as you risk damaging the tool.
• Maintaining the string is very important to make it last longer. Use a special wax on the string to take care of it, this will limit the friction between the rail and the string. Repeat this process every 4 to 5 shots, as a lot of grease will be expelled with each shot.
• The crossbow pistol is often used outdoors. It will then be more exposed to moisture, which will promote rust formation. To avoid this problem, grease the axles and pulleys every 2 or 3 months. If you encounter any issues while reassembling the parts, consult a professional to ensure they are correctly assembled.
• It's true that the body of this powerful crossbow doesn't require too much maintenance. However, regularly check the condition of the screws and their tightness. Be aware that frequent use and the power of this weapon can stress these screws.
