How to Safely Load and Unload a Crossbow

[@darkbrownkingblack]

Hey man thank you for taking the time to demonstrate the use of this crossbow I am a beginner with a crossbow but I've served my country for 25 years in a comeback unit in the United States Navy I had never fart a crossbow until recently and I appreciate you for giving such a accurate demonstration of his use. Keep on making these videos God bless you.

Thanks, I just got a Center Point Dagger 390 for Christmas, never used one before, I was very intimidated shooting it for the first time.

[@willieearles3151]

That’s a pretty nice Christmas gift. Wish I had relatives like yours.

How has the CP Dagger been for you? Any limb or string issues?

[@thomascooper6655]

Man thank you for showing me the danger triangle, and I'm proud of myself for making sure I know as much as possible to safely use my game Crusher which is also my first ever crossbow or any high powered shooting device for that matter

[@doccyboy5018]

your advice really helped me, thank you - respect from New Zealand

[@henrysloan8681]

Man you were fantastic, that was the safest I have ever seen. Thank you

[@ryanhoffman733]

Excellent video, thanks for the lesson!

In Illinois use a old beat up broadhead to fire when unloading during deer season. Possession of a field point could get you in trouble. (Stupid Ik)

thx

[@igamehard8860]

great informative video

[@moonshine588]

What if you are shooting short bolts? Is there a safe way to load it?

[@allenbridges5495]

Don't shoot short bolts on your crossbow! They are not designed for that. They do make pistol crossbows but they aren't very accurate.

[@EmiFolkMusic]

Can't you just press the trigger without a loaded bolt to decock it ?

[@treydavis1699]

I don’t know about crossbows but it’s known as dry firing and it’s bad, don’t do it.

[@NickoOlimp]

I thought the same, expected it to be explained in the video

[@thiscorrosion900]

Not a great idea, as with a compound bow, dry firing can damage the bow and limbs etc. And with a compound crossbow it can damage the compound system over time. LImbs etc. can even shatter on you and you definitely don't want that to ever happen.

[@keegan6388]

That usually destroys the string

[@scuba6797]

I thought with arm injuries crossbow was going to be easier. Sure you don't have to hold the string but drawing it seems impossible. I guess people have someone in the woods with them who can load it and then they can fire it.
