How to Identify and Resolve Common Issues ?
We offer a diverse range of insights on identifying and resolving common problems in sports. Our sources encompass academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays shared by seasoned athletes. :
When shooting at close or medium ranges, a red dot sight is a great option for crossbow hunters. The 30MM TRADTIONAL offers unlimited eye-relief, a wide field of few, and a compact design that are not available in magnified optics.
Never “dry fire” (i.e., release a cocked crossbow string without a recommended arrow properly loaded into the receiver) your crossbow. Dry firing a Barnett crossbow will immediately void your warranty and result in catastrophic damage to the crossbow.
If your scope has only 1 dot / reticle, you can sight it for any distance you wish (20, 30, 40 or 80 yards if you want).
Barnett does not recommend leaving a crossbow cocked for more than four continuous hours.
The true red dot sight uses either a LED emitter or is self-powered by fiber optic and/or tritium (no batteries or on/off switch needed) to project a reticle onto glass which is then reflected to your eye, hence the other common name “reflex sight”.
Red dot sights work very well at night, considering they were known as the reflector sight originally. One of their primary advantages is the fact that they have an illuminated point with a light-emitting diode, so they can work in all kinds of lighting.
Yes. Periodically apply a drop of TenPoint`s Flight Rail and Trigger Lubricant to your wheels or cams and axles when needed. Also, lubricate the cam bearings if you have a reverse draw crossbow, especially if the bow has gotten wet from being outside.
Do not leave your crossbow cocked for longer than a 24-hour period, as premature stretching of the string and cables may occur, leading to a loss in crossbow performance.
The best way to unload and uncock any crossbow is to shoot it–but firing it without an arrow loaded (called “dry-firing”) will almost surely destroy the crossbow and can be very dangerous to the shooter. So the bow should be unloaded by firing an actual arrow.
A crossbow is a piece of precision archery equipment. You fire an arrow, using strings and limbs, and for compound crossbows, cables and cams.
This Barnett crossbow is equipped with an automatic anti-dry fire safety mechanism which engages when the crossbow is cocked. An arrow must be loaded into the arrow/flight track to release the safety and the safety must be disengaged or in the “off/fire” position before each shot.
Product Description. The first patented crossbow of its kind, the Predator`s pioneering design offers a shoot through foot stirrup increasing the power stroke to an amazing 15″ and 175 pound draw weight produces speeds to 375 Feet Per Second.
They also require batteries. While red dot sights get thousands of hours of use out of their batteries, it`s still a limitation that most sights and scopes don`t have.
A: A typical red dot battery can last for around 50,000 hours. Some exceptional models can last longer without compromising on their performance though.
Why won`t my red dot turn on? If you`ve replaced the battery, make sure it is properly installed with the battery cap fully seated. If your unit still doesn`t come on, it is possible that you are in night vision setting. Try increasing the dot intensity until the dot becomes visible in normal conditions.
Unlike lasers, which project a red dot onto a target, red dot sights are all internal allowing only the shooter to see the red dot on their target. The red dot sight uses a LED (light emitting diode) which is completely eye-safe compared to a laser which produces an emission that can be harmful to your eyes.
A red dot allows the hunter to aim with both eyes open giving full vision to the hunting action. Setting up a red dot scope is easy. Set your sights to be slightly high at 20 yards and you will be dead-on out to 30, perhaps 35. The speed of your bow and the weight of your arrow will show you the aiming curve.
Crossbows have a safety feature: Most crossbows are on safe at the end of the cocking process. Immediately after cocking, always check to make sure that your bow is on safe before doing anything else.

Scopes are for long range. Red dots are for close range. If you use your Ruger 10/22 for close-range applications (home defense, plinking, varmint hunting), then you need a red dot. It`s cheaper, lighter and acquires targets faster.

I have a Barnett Croossbow 400 purchased at Cabela’s in Hamburg , Pa, for about two years now, but have recently lost the owners manual for the 4X32 Rhino scope. Unsure what the lines in the scope are as far as yardage is concerned ( there are 5 horizontal lines . What are they looking from the top to the bottom of the scope?
ANSWER : There is a fix
Do you remember the last thing that happened before your problem started?

I have an Aimpoint Comp-M Red dot scope. I cannot
ANSWER : Sounds to me like it may have been dropped and the set screw in side has released.the aiming system is on a prism left right up down.a good jar or drop will break the movement system.if the screw is maxed out I’m all most certain the seal has been broken i would see if there is a gun shop in your aria and have them look at it.good luck.

I have a scooter which has 2 batteries they sit side by side.i forgot how to connect them up.i know the RED lead goes to the +on the first battery .then there is a short RED lead in the middle of the two what post does it go on the first & second battery. + or –
ANSWER : Hi and welcome to FixYa,Initially, postback with the brand and exact model number of the scooter.Offhand and to my understanding, the batteries are connected in series. If so:
RED lead to the + terminal of the 1st battery ( as you have posted);
– terminal of the 1st battery to one end of the short RED lead;
the other end of the short RED lead to the + terminal of the 2nd battery;
– terminal of the 2nd battery to usually a black wire.Please re-confirm by checking voltage rating of each of the battery and the voltage requirement of the scooter. Doing the above would result to voltage of 1st battery plus voltage of 2nd battery or if the same rating equal to double the rating of each battery.Good luck and thank you for using FixYa.

Need an operators manual
ANSWER : Hey I been using a 6-24X42mm buckridge scope on my 270 for about 4 years now it has been dead on until this year I took it off and put it on my 22-250 and now it won’t hold for anything. I know optronics sold that part of the company but I finally got ahold of them and they still have some of that stuff on hand. They just asked for my name and address and is sending me another one no questions asked!! You might try sending them an email and they will send you the 800 number with and extension.

I have the Intex Sand/Pump pool filter Model SF 20110. It’s been running real great for the last 4 months. However recently it has been tripping the internal overloads and I have found the pump motor to be very hot when I put my hand against it. I have tried several different solutions, such as a level ground platform that was clear of any obstructions, made sure that the motor vents under the motor was clear of anything that would prevent air flow. I used a non electrical type of lubricate on the impeller. When I would turn on the pump the rotor would not turn but only would hum very loudly and then slowly begin to turn. I also noticed that the motor’s rotor shaft would not turn to freely due the tightness around the rotor’s shaft. After using the lubricate the shaft would turn a little easier. I used an amp meter on the incoming voltage line and the motor would run at 4.5 amp. And yet it still overheated and tripped the motor overloads. I can only think that the motor is still not getting enough ventilation. I have check and cleared all the incoming lines and found nothing block the pumps input or output lines. Any suggestion?
ANSWER : I just looking into this issue my self. The pump cools itself by a internal fan, which is run by the motor. Well I took the housing cover off to find out all the fan blades have broken off and were setting in the base of the pump. Once you remove the fan blades from covering the air intake, it might be fine. I will find out my self once summer gets here.
