JW texted me, his parent's got him a Jaguar for Christmas. I'm sure I'll be helping him get it sighted in etc. Looks pretty basic from what I've seen on line, anything I need to know?

JW texted me, his parent's got him a Jaguar for Christmas. I'm sure I'll be helping him get it sighted in etc. Looks pretty basic from what I've seen on line, anything I need to know? WOW! A Jaguar!! Which model? - www.jaguarusa.com/index.html Main thing is to read and follow ALL manufacturers directions. Safety wise - keep all body parts out of the string's path. Treat the crossbow like gun - so never point it at something you don't want to shoot. Accuracy depends a LOT on accurate cocking thus use a rope cocking aid on every shot. The string grabs need to ride on each side of the rail. Use white paint to mark the string on each side of the rail to assure the bow is evenly cocked. "Lock time" is REAL slow so follow through is VERY important. Have him try to watch the arrow's path through the scope. Lube the rail every 50 or so shots or whatever the manufacturer recommends. Wax strings when needed. Do your sight in and accuracy shots off a bench rest. Most of all - ENJOY!! |

Looks to me like there is no cocking aid on it. I'll advise he invests in one
