growalot Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 So good thing I'm not hunting moster buck or the doe didn't come into the field until....wait for it....my alarm went off. For when I got home and went to uncock the bow with a shot the trigger wouldn't engage...so I reloaded the arrow several times....click the safety on and off several times and nothing I was in a blind so it wasn't snowy or wet....infact the blind was warm...any how out side on the porch it sits...should it decide to let loose with out a bolt in it....PLEASE I need ideas on what to do...that is safe... Back to my compound tomorrow...good thing I have shot to stay in form and keep the muscles good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Do you have the half moon nocks? I have a barnett and have had that happen before. From shooting a small piece of the nock broke off and would not engage the safety mechanism correctly. Put in a new bolt and it worked fine. So replaced all the nocks before the season started and no problems since. Good luck hope it's a easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMYTOOSONS Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 i had that same problem once with one of mine. i had to get a small screwdriver and release the safety.from then on the last inch or so of cocking i gave it a good pull and made sure i heard a loud click.ever since then i haven't had a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
