Crossbow Safety Tips

• Maximum effective range is 40 yards.
• Know exactly where the arrow will hit before you pull the trigger (practice, practice, practice).
• Never walk or climb a tree with a crossbow cocked and loaded with an arrow.
• Always use manufacturer recommended arrow weights.
• Practice with the same type broadhead you plan to hunt with.
• Keep your fingers and thumb down on the crossbow forearm out of the path of travel for the string and cables.
• Always identify your target and background before you shoot.
• Never shoot if there is a doubt about the shot.
• Never shoot if the animal is alert and excited.
• Carry a field point tipped arrow in your quiver to uncock the crossbow at the end of the hunt by shooting this arrow into soft ground.
