Does the bolt need to be fired in order to disarm the bow, or is there a way to let off the tension without shooting it?

I use the cocking (rope) device after removing the bolt. Safe and efficient!

I always carry in my quiver an arrow with a field tip. I always fire into ground when I'm done. Don't wanna do that with a broad head on.

The same device that cocks the bow can disarm it. I believe there are some videos on their site about how to do so.

Use the cocking rope by hooking the string on both sides and letting the string forward slowly with one hand. The slack should be taken up with one hand while the other hand pulls the trigger. This is assuming that you have no impediments to releasing the tension gradually.

Yes and without issue.This target stops bolts from my 185# crossbow at >380 fps and over 130 lbs of kinetic energy and I can pull them back out with two fingers. I've been abusive to mine - using broad heads which cut up the poly-weave cover, and I've had it outdoors getting rained on all summer and it's still doing the job.

bolt puller, i shoot into a target that doesn't require that kind of pulling power to remove arrows but if you shoot into a dense cube style target i would get one.

Yes it's fully stuffed and ready to shoot This is a nice target for compound bows. Just not suited for the really fast crossbows. The bolts will sometimes go all the way in and ruin the flechings

The hard part of putting the crossbow is stringing it. You need a strong person to bend the bow and you can string it. The scope I think is a cheap one so I left it off the bow. If you are a good shooter, you won't have trouble shooting it.

It mounts to the sight and should be a snap. It does rattle, makes noise when shooting. I put a piece of black electrical tape under the lever and that quieted it down. Holds arrows tight and quiet.

It uses spring and has a bolt on the right side that needs to be pulled back and locked into place before each shot

Yes, the bow folds back after removing the front bolt. It is a two man operation to get it back to functional though.

Pulll nylon string towards the back of the crossbow and put it in groove above the trigger - place the arrow in groove on top of the crossbow then pull the trigger but be careful it shoots pretty hard

Bottom Line: the bow is designed to be in a cocked position for a few hours at a time that a typical person hunts. Do not store it cocked, but you can cock it at the beginning of a hunt and shoot a practice arrow to uncock it late in the morning without causing any problems with arms of the bow. Always uncock it by shooting an arrow. Never dry fire it, or you will damage the limbs.

The stock is one piece with a detachable foot stirrup. I believe it is aluminum. The bow is composite and will need to be mounted along with the scope. All the rest is assembled along with the scope mount. Directions are easy to follow, just actually read them and don't second guess. It seems well made and shoots very well.

fold the barrel down , insert proper projectile, close barrel. It is ready to fire. There was no safety on the one I purchased, Be very careful.

Probably not. I've seen videos of Excalibur's testing of the Guardian system and it seems to work as designed to prevent accidental dry firing. Posts by Excalibur owners on various online forums seem to support this. However, because dry firing can seriously damage a bow, I'll never attempt to deliberately test the system to try to force it to fail. I'll just take their word on it.

Well its ok. but just make sure you're strong enough to attach the string to the bow. also make sure all the nuts and bolts are properly tightened. i lost one when it came undone and had to replace it. the last thing I'm gonna add ismake sure you are firing at a visible target. I've already lost all my bolts due to them going underneath the ground.

If the bow is shooting low move the pip away from the arrow if it is shooting high then move it back towards the arrow only a half inch at time if that dont work let me know

You are not going to close the bolt, it is not needed. If you try it will damage the laser.I 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.
