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 the 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 service department at 800-237-4507. After
assembly of your crossbow, please keep manual for future
reference.
As with any other high performance equipment, meticulous
care and a regular maintenance schedule must be maintained.
For the RC-150 Barnett highly recommends using Barnett’s 16”
Aluminum arrow with moon nock and 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
RC-150
Barnett RC-150 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. If the
safety will not release, this happens when the trigger is pulled
before the safety switch is released. 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 (shoot without an
arrow). Dry firing will void the warranty and
result in damage to the limb and cable 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 16" Aluminum crossbow arrows for the
RC-150. 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.
