Limited Lifetime warranty
PSE warranties every compound crossbow to be free of
defects in material and workmanship for the period as
dened below.
1) PSE crossbow stocks, metal prods and cams, if
defective, will be replaced at no charge for the
lifetime of the product.
2) Limbs, if defective, will be replaced at no charge for the
rst year, and at 50% of the replacement cost thereafter
for the life of the product.
3) Evidence of mishandling, abuse or modication of the
product or use of non-PSE replacement parts voids the
warranty.
4) Cables, strings and vibration dampers are wearable
items and are not covered by this warranty.
1) ALWAYS treat your crossbow as you would any weapon
or rearm. It is a powerful weapon that can be deadly if
mishandled.
2) ALWAYS keep your crossbow pointed in a safe direction.
Never point your crossbow at anything you don’t intend to
shoot.
3) NEVER enter a vehicle with a loaded crossbow. Always

the area. It also voids the warranty.
6) DO NOT make changes or alterations to any parts of this
crossbow as it may cause an unsafe condition and will void
the warranty.
7) NEVER release the safety on your crossbow until you are
ready to shoot and are sure of your target.

cocKing tHe crossbow
DO NOT cock or load your crossbow unless you
are in a safe area to do so.
1. Before cocking your crossbow, move the safety into the
“re” position by pushing it forward and pull the trigger to
assure that the mechanism is ready to accept the string.
2. With the stirrup of the crossbow resting on the ground,
place your foot well into the stirrup and lay the center of
the auxilliary cocking rope under the shoulder of the grip
stock just behind the scope rail (Fig. 1). Set the auxilliary
cocking rope hooks securely on the string facing down,
on both sides of the rail (Fig. 2). Pull straight up using
the “T Handles” until the string is fully engaged. DO NOT
release the string completely until you are certain it
is engaged. If the trigger latch did not capture the string,
lower the string gently and repeat steps 1 and 2.
3. When the crossbow is cocked, the safety is automatically
in the “safe” position. Always check to ensure that the
safety is into the “safe” position. Never assume that the
safety is on!!
Loading and sHooting
your crossbow
1. With the crossbow cocked and pointed safely down range,
place an arrow of the correct size in the groove on top
of the rail with the odd colored etching down (into the
groove). See Fig. 13. Slide the arrow back into the string
under the arrow retention spring until it makes complete
contact with the string. The crossbow is now loaded.
Handle with extreme care.
2. With the crossbow still pointed safely down range, place
the butt of the stock on your shoulder with the front hand
on the foregrip of the stock. IMPORTANT: Keep your
thumb and ngers well below the path of the string
and cables. Keep your eye at least 2 inches behind the
rear sight or scope.
3. Move the safety to the “re” position by pushing it forward.
Take careful aim and squeeze the trigger smoothly to re
the crossbow.

unLoading and uncocKing
The safest way for one person to unload and uncock a crossbow
is to discharge an arrow into a target at close range or into soft
dirt or sand. Be extremely careful if ring into the ground since the
arrow could ricochet and cause damage to person or property.
Using a crossbow bolt with a eld point installed would be suitable
for unloading purposes.
never dry fire
your crossbow!
Doing so will damage the crossbow, possibly cause bodily harm
and void the warranty.
