I've encountered this issue several times with my fishing crossbow, probably because it spends so much time pointed downward.Īll things considered, this is a good problem. However, a far more likely cause is that the bolt is not pushed all the way back, or has slid forward. When cocked and loaded, crossbow fails to fire: It's possible that as in the previous example, the bow was not fully cocked.

However, something is not working properly, and I would advise taking the bow to your local pro shop or contacting the manufacturer or place of purchase about possible repair or replacement. One solution is to simply click the safety on after cocking and continue as usual.
Safety did not engage while cocking, but crossbow will fire: It shouldn't happen, but I've encountered this on bows from several different manufacturers. You should be able to simply re-attach your cocking mechanism and pull back farther, until you hear a distinct "click" and see that the safety has engaged. In other words, the string wasn't pulled all the way back, far enough to cock the bow and engage the safety mechanism. Safety did not engage while cocking, and crossbow will not fire: In all likelihood, the bow was short-cocked. In that case, make sure you are pulling the string all the way back.
That used to be necessary on some crossbows, but for the most part, it no longer matters whether the safety is on safe or fire when cocking. Common ProblemsĬrossbow will not cock: This is less common than it used to be but could well be the result of not having the safety mechanism in the "fire" position while cocking. Below, I've listed five of the more common issues crossbow shooters might encounter, along with their causes and solutions. Regardless, sometimes our crossbows don't perform as well as we'd like. Sometimes, it's a matter of materials or manufacturing.
