5.2 Pre-Shot Inspection

Before each use, perform a thorough inspection of every arrow. This is critical for safety and performance.

• Schacht: Check the carbon shaft for any cracks, splinters, dents, or bends. Rotate the arrow slowly to examine the entire surface.
• Fletching: Ensure all fletchings are securely attached and not damaged or missing. Damaged fletching can cause erratic flight.
• Nock: Verify that the moon nock is securely seated and free from cracks or damage. The nock should fit snugly onto the crossbow string.
• Punt: Confirm the field point is tightly screwed into the arrow shaft. A loose point can detach during flight or impact.
