The minimum is 380 total grains. This includes the combined weight of the bolt and the point.

If this happens, it is possible that the anti-dry fire mechanism has been tripped. Make sure you have a bolt fully seated on the bow before trying to move the safety switch from safe to fire. The anti-dry fire mechanism will not allow you to move the bow off “safe” without this. If that does not work, use the rope cocker or Quiet Crank, and re-cock your bow another ¼” or so until you hear a click. You’ll then seat a bolt into the trigger box and attempt to move the bow into “fire”. If the issue persists, take your bow to a local dealer or contact Customer Service for assistance – 800-282-4868.

No adjustments can be made to trigger pull on any Rocky Mountain crossbow. Do not attempt to alter or modify the device or trigger assembly in any way. This is a very dangerous practice that will not only void the manufacturer’s warranty but could also cause damage to the crossbow and/or personal injury.

Most crossbow models from the past four years have an average trigger pull of 3½ lbs.

Feet per second (FPS) ratings can be affected by bolt and/or point weights. To maximize the FPS rating on your Rocky Mountain crossbow, a 380 total grain weight bolt is recommended.

Strings and cables should be replaced approximately every 2 years depending on use. If there is evidence of fraying or broken strands, replace strings and cables immediately.

When changing out cables, inspect your cable slide for signs of excessive wear.  As a rule of thumb, replace your cable slide any time you replace the cables on your crossbow.  NOTE: Not all cable slides are the same.  Visit our website to select the cable slide appropriate for your model bow.

No, the Quiet Crank only works on bow models that have the plus-shaped hole in the butt stock.

No, this is not a part that is sold separately.

No, we do not sell the rope for either item as a replacement part.

No, you want to remove the Quiet Crank from your bow before firing. The Crank does not snap into place and could fall out when your bow is held horizontally.

Yes. The Crank will hold position once it is stopped.

Before inserting the winch into the crossbow, ensure your bow is in the FIRE position.  Mount the winch in the stock by inserting the + mounting rod into the corresponding slot at the rear of the stock.  Once mounted, move the switch on the winch to the “Unlock” position to disengage the cocking system.  NOTE: You must hold the switch in the “Unlock” position to pull the rope out of the pulley.  Once you release the switch, it will default to the “Lock” position and you can begin reeling in the rope.

We do not recommend leaving your crossbow cocked longer than one hunting session. For example, if you are hunting in the morning, we recommend firing the crossbow and re-cocking before an evening hunt (4-6 hours maximum).

https://www.feradyne.com/product/the-nub/No. The only way to disengage your bow is to fire it. We make a de-cocking tip called The Nub.

When storing your crossbow for extended periods of time, keep it in a temperature-controlled environment to avoid rusting and string/cable deterioration. There is no need to let down the tension on your limbs during the off-season.

All Carbon Express crossbolts have an inside diameter (ID) of .284

No, the nocks are not glued in. They are pressure-fit nocks.

We recommend using a paper towel and denatured alcohol. Be sure to use paper towels that have no additives, such as lotion. We do not recommend using any other harsh chemicals or acetone.

We recommend using a 3” or 4” vane with a ½” height. This will allow your bolts to clear the rail of your crossbow without catching.

If you are shooting a crossbow that is manufactured by Carbon Express, you can use any of our crossbolts. If you are shooting a non-Carbon Express crossbow, we recommend calling the bow manufacturer to verify the minimum bolt weight recommended for that model bow so you choose the right bolt for your crossbow and the correct nock (half-moon, flat, etc.).

We recommend doing a flex test after every shoot to ensure there has been no damage to your bolts.  For more information on how to perform this test as well as additional safety instructions, visit www.safearrow.com.  WARNING: Never shoot a cracked or damaged shaft.
