sorry but this is my first time using a Compound Bow , is there is something like a lock on the string ? because i cant pull it

Lol you need to apply a lot of force to pull it back get an arrow release to make it easier or bring down the lbs pressure

There shouldn't be a lock. The bow is set to a certain poundage. I am not able to use my husband's bow because he has it set to 60-70 pounds. It doesn't sounds like a lot but I am not able to pull it back. It feels as if it's locked but it's just because there is so much resistance. You can adjust the pounds. If you don't feel comfortable doing that on your own you should be able to bring it to a sporting equipment store like Cabelas or Dicks and their archery department may be able to do it for you.

No, you have to adjust the Draw Weight, according to your strength so you can easily pull it back. Go to You Tube and search for how to shoot a Compoun Bow (do not dry fire a bow) very dangerous if you do that. Good Hunting.

The only thing that you have to do is, slide the bow thru center it and tighten the set screw. To string the cross bow just use a good old mud bucket or anything that is narrow enough and sturdy enough to push the crossbow down hard enough to set the string. That's it.

My 4 year old (just turned 4) can EASILY pull the "string" back as far as it can go, but my 2 year old can only get it about 2/3rds of the way, which may be due to a combination of less strength and shorter arm span. If you do not pull it back all the way, it does not always fire properly as it requires a lot of force to eject the arrow. I will note that the string is just for show, it does not do anything. The tension you feel pulling on the handle to activate the bow is caused by a spring (or something like that) inside the body of the bow.

I can't answer your question. Have you tried giving a call to the makers of the Bow Press or to you local archery shop?

I also had a long bow and string length of 4 inches shorter seemed to work.I was not concerned with the string tension. Hope this helps

I am unable to answer since I had to throw my son's crossbow away. It broke shortly after receiving it so Amazon sent a new one, which also broke, in the same place. The point where the tip meets the string kept snapping. It's a great looking bow and we were disappointing it kept breaking.

It's your arrow. The U shape end that attaches to string should click/lock on.

Not sure if I can explain how to put it on but Dicks Sporting Goods or Bass Pro Shops or something like that can install the sight , arrow rest and can also adjust the draw weight fairly cheap. As for as sighting it in adjust your two pins with the red dots the way your arrows are grouping. If they are high and to the right move your pins up and to the right. . If your arrows are grouping low and to the left move your pins down and to the left. Move the two pins the way the arrows are grouping. Took me a few hours to get it real close.

I don't know anything about a video from the vendor. But there are many videos on youtube on how to string a bow. The stepthrough method is highly effective on this one, but is a little dangerous to both the bow and the archer if done incorrectly. The safest method is to use a bow stringer. Which is a device that fits on the tips loosely, you step on the rope with your foot, and pull the middle of the bow up. Bracing it enough to slip the string in the knocks. Hit up youtube and watch both methods before deciding which you are more comfortable with.

The bow works great. It's tight the first few times, but it loosens. Have fun with it!

The bow doesn't come off. I constantly throw it and drop it and pull on it, and it doesn't come of.

I think there were some intructions with them but they are for the strings that are in the slot of the crossbow, to get them in you'll have to dissasemble the thing, that center bolt that holds the bow onto the rifle needs to come back off, then the slide is more or less fitted to the stings and you have to hold it in place and slide the strings into the slot and reassemble, i made the discovery once i had the thing put together and had to take it apart to put the slide in, im pretty sure its to make it easyer on the string and will probably save replacing the string too soon

I need replacements too! My kids loved the bow, and it really is a step above "little kid bows" that can't be aimed or go very far. But the bow strings broke and we need to figure out how to fix it.

Yes you can get the string off, I haven't used my mine in a while but if my memory serves me right. I think the compass was ineffective from the start.

I received a rope cocking device in with the packaging. It is just about impossible to pull the bow string with your hands. But it is 100x easier with the rope cocking tool.

Katsumoto-san,I think what you are saying is that you broke one of the LIMBS. The Martin Archery website will provide a replacement, you need to tell them the draw weight of the bow you are using. Here is a link you should look at: http://martinarchery.shptron.com/p/martin-take-down-limbs

I purchased this bow as a beginner bow for my 11yr old twin boys who weigh about 75lbs each. They have difficulty pulling it back, so I should have waited another year or two. She sounds older and bigger and may not have the same problem though.
