SAFETY
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
uncock and properly stow your crossbow for transporting.
4) ALWAYS check your crossbow to make sure that it is in
proper mechanical order. Check for damaged, worn, loose
or missing parts.
5) NEVER DRY FIRE YOUR CROSSBOW. Firing the
crossbow without a bolt will cause damage not only to the
crossbow but possible bodily injury to you and anyone in 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.
8) NEVER shoot any bolt or other projectile from your
crossbow that has not been recommended by PSE. Use
only bolts of the proper size, weight and length.
9) ALWAYS keep your ngers and thumb out of the path of the
string and cables while shooting your crossbow. Failure to
do so will cause injury.
10) ALWAYS wear safety glasses when handling a crossbow.
WARNING:
Use extreme caution while operating this weapon. Never run,
crawl, ride a horse, operate an ATV, motorcycle or travel in a
vehicle with a loaded crossbow. Accidental discharge could
prove harmful or fatal.

SCOPE INSTALLATION & SETUP
1. Slide 4x32 scope (Fig. 8a) over rail mount. Tighten with included hex wrench.
Fig. 8b (Note: The scope will only slide if the mounting bolts are removed, otherwise
it must be located to a desired position on the scope rail.
2. Begin adjusting your scope by sighting your crossbow at the closest yardage
from which you plan to hunt. Ex. 10 yards = top line of crosshairs.
3. Once you’ve established your closest range, progressively move back in yardage
to determine the yardage points for the remaining lines in your crosshairs.
4. Because all of the sight lines move together, you will make adjustments based
on your closest sight point by using the Windage (side) and Elevation (top)
knobs.
NOTE: SCOPE RETICLE & KNOB MAY VARY FROM MODEL TO MODEL.
ALSO, BE CAREFUL NOT TO MOVE THE SCOPE BASE WHEN MAKING YOUR
ADJUSTMENTS.

COCKING THE CROSSBOW
DO NOT cock or load your crossbow unless you
are in a safe area to shoot.
1. Before cocking your crossbow, move the safety into the
“re” position by pushing it forward and pull the trigger to
insure 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
cocking rope into the groove of the grip stock just behind
the scope rail. Set the cocking rope hooks securely on
the string facing down, on both sides of the rail. See Fig.
9. Pull straight up using the “T Handles” until the string is
fully engaged. See Fig. 10. 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 as shown in Fig. 11. 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 a bolt of the correct size in the groove on top of the
rail with the odd colored etching down (into the groove).
See Fig. 12. Slide the bolt 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. Also keep your eye at least 2 inches
behind the rear sight or scope. Failure to follow these
safety precautions can result in serious injury.
3. Move the safety to the “re” position by pushing it up. See
Fig. 13. Take careful aim and squeeze the trigger smoothly
to re the crossbow.

SHOULDER SLING INSTALLATION
DO NOT install your crossbow shoulder strap while
crossbow is cocked/loaded.
1. Attach the end of the shoulder sling with the spacer/
receiver clip onto the hole on the receiver bolt just below
the prod assembly on the riser. Align the sling anchor
over spacer and tighten the mounting screw, making sure
the anchor is rmly attached. Open swivel and slide clip
through the anchor, and then tighten swivel into locking
position. (Fig. 12)
2. Attach the opposite end of the shoulder sling to the
receiver hole just below the stock of the crossbow,

CROSSBOW OWNER’S GUIDE
UNLOADING AND UNCOCKING
The safest way for one person to unload and uncock a crossbow
is to discharge an bolt into a target at close range or into soft dirt
or sand. Be extremely careful if ring into the ground since the bolt
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!
Firing your crossbow without a bolt will damage the crossbow,
possibly cause bodily harm and void the warranty.
STRING
REPLACEMENT
The string on your crossbow will wear down over time and must
be replaced. If not properly cared for or replaced when necessary,
your string can fail leading to accidental ring and serious injury.
The string on your crossbow should be replaced every 500
shots or once a year, whichever comes rst. Failure to do so
will void your warranty.
