Cocking by Hand 1. With the crossbow facing down and resting on the Cocking Stirrup, place your foot completely through the Cocking Stirrup and grasp the string in each hand next to both sides of the stock. Use your hands as guides next to the stock while standing straight up until you hear an audible click in the trigger housing. After the string is drawn into position, relax string tension slightly to ensure the string latch holds securely. If the string is not held securely, pull back again until you hear the click in the trigger housing. Your F-Series Crossbow is now loaded and must be handled with extreme caution. Do not point your crossbow at anything other than that which you intend to shoot. 6 ! WARNING!HAVE YOUR TARGETS IN PLACE, AND ENSURE THAT OTHERS AROUND YOU ARE AWARE AND OUT OF THE FLIGHT PATH. Uncocking or Unloading your F-Series Crossbow Do not attempt to unload or uncock a loaded crossbow by hand or with the Rope Cocking Unit.

Keeping your trigger finger out of the trigger housing, raise the crossbow's stock to your shoulder while pointing the crossbow in the safe and intended direction, as you would a rifle. Your opposing hand should hold the fore-end of the crossbow, keeping thumb and all fingers below the Flight Deck while shooting. When you are fixed on your target, push the safety mechanism forward into the "Fire" position with your trigger finger. Remain steady, and pull the trigger.
