Some people have tuned their Jaguar crossbow to shoot bolts in excess of 300 feet per minute. They do this by twisting the string, shimming the limb, and using certain types of arrows, Making these adjustments will increase the performance of the bow, but may make it not legal for hunting in some areas.

(Quebec residents require the maximum string extension, but twisting the string will reduce it)

Out of the box, the bow will shoot at 240 feet per second. Exceeding this speed may create excessive wear and make it not legal for hunting.

Le modele jaguar est une arbalete fait pour tirer des fleches a une vitesse de 300 pied a la seconde. Certaine personne peuvent faire l'arbalete atteindre cette vitesse en twistant la corde, racourcir la branche de l'arbalete et aussi utiliser different style de fleches. Ces modifications rendront l'arbalete plus performante mais pourrais rendre l'arbalete illegale pour la chasse dans certain secteur (au Quebec, la corde a besoin d'etre a une extension de 250 mm et twister la corde diminue l'extension).

Le manufacturier evalue la vitesse de la Jaguar a 240 pieds par seconde. Depasser cette vitesse pourait endommager l'arbalete et la rendre illegale pour la chasse.

Install the stirrup, shoulder strap, and quiver with the bolts provided.

Install the scope on the scope mount. It may require some time to get the rings (clamps), and screws positioned correctly, but this style of mount (weaver) is one of the most stable designs available, so it’s worth the effort. Make sure that all the screws are tight. It may be helpful to use locktite or another adhesive on the threads of the bolts, so that they do not come loose.

The finger adjustment on the side of the mount is to adjust elevation when the scope is not installed. It is not used with a scope, so leave it in one place and don't move it. If you plan on keeping the scope installed, some glue or epoxy will prevent the elevation adjustment from moving.

The limb should be centered in the stock with a plastic isolation pad on the front and back. The larger one is closer the shooter. The small extension on the pad goes on the top.

The smaller isolation pad one has a slot for the metal plate. Place the metal plate in the slot and install the pad on the front side of the bow. The metal plate should contact the clamping screw.

Tighten the screw and ensure that the limb stays centered. This may be difficult because the pads and limb move while you tighten the screw, but it will work with some practice and patience.

To increase life of limb tips add some silicone to the inside before installing.

Press the tips on as hard as you can to ensure that they are well seated on the limb.

Install the stringing aid (steel cable) on the limb tips and draw the cable back along the rail until it clamps in the trigger assembly under the scope. It may be hard to pull back, but most people can draw it back after some practice.

Place one end of the string through the loop in the stringing aid and over the limb tip.

Wear the safety glasses that were provided with the bow.

Keep tension on the string by pulling back on it with your hands while your foot is in the stirrup.

Now you can release the stringing aid by pulling the trigger with your thumb.

Remember to keep tension on the string by pulling back on it, while pulling the trigger. The instructions that come with the bow don't tell you to pull back, so you will end up dry-firing the bow if you follow them.

Remove the stringing aid without prying on the tips.

It is very important to ensure that the limb is properly centered on the stock. The lines on the limb are a good guide, but a ruler or measuring tape should be used to make sure that both sides are equal. If one side is longer, the limb tip will break on that side.

Our crossbows are manufactured by PL (Perfect Line). They have been in business since 1986. They also manufacture some models for PSE (Precision Shooting Equipment)
