Barnett Crossbows QUAD AVI User Manual

Congratulations, you are the proud owner of the finest Production crossbow in the world!

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 instructions. If any part of this manual is unclear to you, contact the Sales Department at 800-237-4507. After assembly of your crossbow, please keep your manual for future reference.

For the Quad AVi, Barnett highly recommends using a 22” Carbon or Aluminum arrow with half moon nock weighing at least 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

Barnett Quad AVi 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” Carbon Arrows with half moon nocks made by BARNETT for the Quad AVi. 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.
