Technical Specifications

Preparation and Practical Tips

Like any recurve crossbow, the Anaconda requires correct assembly. Use the included stringer rope to safely mount the main string. Before every shot, you must cock the crossbow – I highly recommend using the included cocking rope to ensure the string is drawn perfectly centered, which is vital for shot accuracy. The crossbow is equipped with an automatic safety and an Anti-Dry Fire system. Insert the bolt so that one vane points down into the track and the nock is firmly against the string.

Recommended Bolts for this Model

To achieve the best results and maintain longevity, we recommend bolts with these parameters:

• Bolt Length: 16 inches (included) to 20 inches.
• Shaft Material: Aluminum (durable for practice) or Carbon (for maximum speed).
• Tip Type: Screw-in Field Point, weight 100–125 gr.
• Spine: For aluminum bolts, size 2219 is the standard.

Maintenance and Safety Warnings

To keep your Anaconda serving you for years, pay attention to lubrication. Apply string wax every 10–15 shots to prevent fraying and overheating. Lightly grease the rail to reduce friction between the bolt and the barrel.

Crucial Safety Guidelines:

• Never dry fire (shoot without a bolt)! This will immediately damage or destroy the limbs.
• Do not use damaged or underweight bolts.
• Never point at people or animals. The safety zone extends beyond 200 yards.
• Periodically check all screws, as vibrations may loosen them over time.

Recommended Accessories

To enhance your shooting experience, consider a high-quality target butt designed for crossbows to ensure safe stopping and easy bolt retrieval. Keep a steady supply of string wax, and for improved long-range accuracy, consider upgrading to a dedicated 4x32 crossbow scope.

Fun Fact: The name "Anaconda" stands for power and lethal efficiency. Recurve designs are often preferred by serious shooters for their simplicity and lack of complex cams, making them incredibly reliable even in harsh outdoor conditions.
