Please follow all safety, assembly and trouble shooting
instructions contained in this manual. It is extremely important
to read and follow the instructions before attempting to use your
crossbow. Serious injuries to yourself or others, damage to your
crossbow, or poor performance from your crossbow could result
from failure to thoroughly read and understand these

the Sales Department at 800-237-4507. After assembly of your

For the Quad 400 Barnett highly recommends using a 22”

450 total grains including a 125-grain practice tip or broadhead.
Depending on your state regulations, we recommend using
mechanical broadheads, which result in a more consistent flight
pattern.

Safety Guidelines
Quad-400
Barnett Quad-400 crossbows are equipped with an automatic
safety, which engages every time the crossbow is cocked. The
safety must be released before each shot. This, as with any
other mechanical device, does not guarantee total safety, as no
safety device is a substitute for common sense and safe
handling. The crossbow trigger is only to be pulled when the
safety is in "fire" position and NEVER when it is in the "safe"
position or anywhere between "safe" and "fire." Do not attempt
to alter or modify the safety or the trigger mechanism. When the
trigger is pulled before the safety is released, the safety may not
release. To correct this, push the trigger pull forward, then
release the safety catch.
The following rules should be followed at all times:
EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED AT ALL TIMES WHEN
HANDLING A CROSSBOW. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
RULES COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
• Always keep your fingers below the flight track and
out of the path of cables and strings when firing the
crossbow.
• Never dry-fire the crossbow (shooting without an
arrow or too light of an arrow). Dry firing will void
the warranty and can result in damage to the limb
assembly and possibly cause personal injury.
• Never fire the crossbow until you are sure of your
target.
• Always use an adequate target and backstop when
target shooting.
• Always use suitable crossbow arrows, such as
Barnett's 22" 2216 Aluminum or Carbon arrows
with half moon nocks made by BARNETT for the
Quad-400. Arrows of improper stiffness or mass
weight may damage the limb and cable assembly,
voiding the warranty and possibly cause personal
injury.
• Always inspect the crossbow and arrows before
firing. Bent or damaged arrows are not safe to fire
and should be discarded or repaired.
