How to draw a crossbow
- Turn the nut to the locked (ready to fire) position and lock it with the trigger.
- Place the wooden anti-dry-fire safety between the trigger and the stock (tiller).
- Insert the tip of your foot into the metal stirrup at the front end of the crossbow
- With crossbows up to approx. 77lbs draw weight, the string can be drawn by hand
- For crossbows with a draw weight of over approx. 77 lbs you need a belt hook for cocking
- We recommend drawing crossbows with draw weights of over approx. 150 lbs with a windlass
- Make sure that the metal hooks of the respective drawing aid are symmetrically hooked onto the string, otherwise you could scratch the stock when tensioning
- As soon as the string sits in the hooks of the nut, the drawing/tensioning process is complete and the drawing aid can be removed
- Now you can insert the crossbow bolt, so that the flat end (or its nock) is snug against the string
- Remove the anti-dry-fire safety just before shooting.
- If you then decide not to shoot, use your hands or a drawing aid to release the string. Never dry-fire the crossbow (without an arrow/bolt), this could damage the crossbow bow!
