Some hand tension may be kept on cable stringer to keep it properly 
seated. 

See Figure 2

 

2.  Cock the crossbow, using the foot stirrup for 

stability. The safety is now automatically engaged. 

3.  Insert bowstring loops through the loops of cable 

stringer and seat over nock ends. 

4.  Release safety catch. 
5.  Pull back firmly on the 

string

, removing all tension 

from the cable stringer. 

6.  Pull trigger while holding string, letting string down. Use caution, as 

the string will have much tension on it. At this point the stringer will 
have no tension on it. 

7.  Making sure each loop of the bowstring is firmly seated on the nock 

ends, pull the cable stringer loop off each end. Use caution it may be 
necessary to partially cock crossbow to remove stringer. When properly 
strung the string should be at right angles to the stock. 

8.  Re-inspect bowstring loops for proper seating on nock ends.  

 
Note: Before loading to ensure proper arrow flight you must be sure that 
your string is marked on both sides of the outside flight track. When 
shooting, the string should be pulled back equally on both sides. If this is 
not done one side of the limb may be under greater tension causing the 
arrow to shoot right or left. 

 
To Remove String 

1.  Cock the crossbow. The safety will engage automatically. 
2.  Insert the black steel coated cable stringer loops through the loops of 

the bowstring. Make sure cable stringer loops are securely seated on 
nock ends. 

3. Release 

safety. 

4.  Pull back on the bowstring 

firmly

. Then pull the trigger letting the 

bowstring down slowly to braced position. Use 

caution

 as the 

bowstring will have a lot of tension on it. 

5.  At this point the cable stringer will have no tension on it. Recheck 

cable stringer loops for proper seating on nock ends. 

6.  Cock the crossbow using the cable stringer. Use caution not to tangle 

cable stringer in bowstring. 

7.  The bowstring will have no tension on it. Recheck stringer loops for 

proper seating. Remove bowstring loops off prod nock ends. 

8.  Pull trigger carefully while holding cable stringer, letting cable stringer 

down. Use caution as the stringer will have a lot of tension on it. 

Stock Extension 

The Ranger has a stock extension factory installed.  To make adjustments, 
loosen front nuts, pull extension back exposing rear nuts, adjust to desired 
position using back nuts. Then secure tightly with front nuts.
