Safety Guidelines 
 Wildcat C5  
 
Barnett  Wildcat C5 crossbows are equipped with an automatic 
safety, which engages every time the crossbow is cocked.  The 
safety  must  be  released  before  each shot.  This, as with any 
other mechanical device, does not guarantee total safety, as no 
safety device is a substitute for common sense and safe 
handling.  The crossbow trigger is only to be pulled when the 
safety is in "fire" position and NEVER when it is in the "safe" 
position or anywhere between "safe" and "fire." Do not attempt 
to alter or modify the safety or the trigger mechanism. When the 
trigger is pulled before the safety is released, the safety may not 
release. To correct this, push the trigger pull forward, then 
release the safety catch. 
 
The following rules should be followed at all times: 
EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED AT ALL TIMES WHEN 
HANDLING A CROSSBOW.  FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE 
RULES COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. 
 
•  Always keep your fingers below the flight track and 
out of the path of cables and strings when firing the 
crossbow.  
•  Never dry-fire the crossbow (shooting without an 
arrow or too light of an arrow).  Dry firing will void 
the warranty and can result in damage to the limb 
assembly and possibly cause personal injury. 
•  Never fire the crossbow until you are sure of your 
target. 
•  Always use an adequate target and backstop when 
target shooting. 
•  Always use suitable crossbow arrows, such as 
Barnett's 20" Carbon arrows with half moon nocks 
made for BARNETT for the Wildcat C5.  Arrows of 
improper stiffness or mass weight may damage the 
limb and cable assembly, voiding the warranty
 and 
possibly cause personal injury. 
•  Always inspect the crossbow and arrows before 
firing.  Bent or damaged arrows are not safe to fire 
and should be discarded or repaired.
