How to use a gun crossbow?

  • Before use, make sure that the safety device of your weapon is engaged. Only use bolts that match your crossbow. There are different types of bolts, so make sure it is appropriate. Keep the safety on until you are ready to shoot.
  • Always remember to point the weapon in a safe direction and plan what to do if the target is missed. Put your hands under the string and out of the way, one on the stock and the other on the hand guard. Avoid shooting in water or on hard surfaces, as the bolt may ricochet and create an accident.
  • Before cocking the bolt, make sure all shooting conditions are met. First, get comfortable in your stance. Then, pull the string with your hands until you hear a click, release the safety catch, after which you can shoot. Do not use your hands or the rope to disarm the gun, as this can damage the tool.
  • Maintenance of the rope is very important to make it last longer. Use a special wax on the rope to care for it; this will limit the friction between the rail and the rope. Repeat this process every 4 to 5 shots, as a lot of grease will be expelled with each shot.
  • The gun crossbow is often used outdoors. It will then be more exposed to moisture, which will promote the development of rust. To avoid this problem, grease the pins and pulleys every 2 or 3 months. If there are any problems when reassembling the parts, call a professional to make sure they are properly assembled.
  • It is true that the body of this powerful crossbow does not require much maintenance. However, remember to regularly check the condition of the screws and their tightness. Be aware that frequent use and the power of this weapon can put a strain on these screws.
