WARNINGS

DANGEROUS PROJECTILE

• A mishandled bow, arrow or bowstring may result in serious injury or even death.

• Bows and arrows are not toys.

• Failure to follow Instructions and Safety Warnings could result in serious or fatal injuries to the user or people nearby.

The user’s parent and/or user MUST read, understand and follow these INSTRUCTIONS and SAFETY WARNINGS

• Always point the bow and arrow in a safe direction down-range at targets intended to be shot.

• Never shoot toward a human being or pet or permit someone to hold a target for you.

• Never run with a bow or while carrying arrows; the point or nock of an arrow can cause serious injury.

• Be sure no one is standing in front of or to the sides of the archer while the bow is being drawn or shot!
Be sure everyone is standing behind the archer.

• Shoot only at a suitable target material and backstop. Try rst shots at closer distances of 5-10 paces to avoid errant

shots or until the archer feels comfortable shooting the bow accurately.

• Never shoot an arrow up in the air, it can travel several hundred yards and land anywhere!

• Always use extreme care when pulling arrows from a target; arrows can come out suddenly, jerking backward forcefully
poking into someone’s body, face or eyes without warning.

• Always have an adequate backstop in the area behind the target. Make sure the area behind the target is clear and free

of objects that may be hazardous or cause the arrows to bounce off or be deected.

• If shooting in a group, do not allow anyone to retrieve arrows until ALL arrows have been shot!

• Never dry re your bow. That is, never pull back and release the string without an arrow nocked.

• Inspect your arrows before each shot to detect any cracks or damage & never use arrows that are damaged or too short.

• Replace your bowstring when it becomes worn or frayed.

• Always string your bow properly and carefully using a bow stringer.

• Store in a safe place. Keep out of the reach of children.

• Safety precautions must be taken with adult use or supervision just as with an air rie, darts or any other potentially

dangerous projectile.

• The buyer and user of this product acknowledge that this is a potentially dangerous product that can inict serious or

fatal injury.

PREPARING THE RISER TO RECEIVE LIMBS

Before seating your limbs on your Crescent bow, rst make sure the limb bolts are set properly. Start out by setting the limbs

at the minimum draw weight by making sure the distance from the underside of the bolt cap to the face of the limb pocket is

21mm. (At maximum draw weight, that distance is 14mm.) If it is not, you will need a hex wrench to loosen the limb bolt locking
screw seated in the belly of the riser. (See Figure 1) Once loosened, use the Spanner wrench included with your riser to untwist
the limb bolt cap. (See Figure 2) This will raise the cap, or reduce the draw weight. Do the reverse if you need to reduce the
cap distance to get to 21 mm. When you get the correct distance, hold the limb bolt cap in place with the Spanner wrench and

tighten the locking bolt.

Figure 1 Figure 2

At this point the dimple in the limb bolt cap on the top limb should be at 12 o’clock; the dimple in the limb bolt cap on the

bottom limb should be at 6 o’clock. If a dimple is not in the right position, loosen the acorn nut on top of the limb bolt and
spin the cap until the dimple is positioned properly, and tighten the acorn nut.

** DO NOT ADJUST THE LIMB BOLTS BEYOND THIS MINIMUM SETTING TO PREVENT RISER/LIMB DAMAGE
AND POSSIBLE INJURY!
