To load a crossbow, first pull the string back.
Pull the string back to its full length. You can use your fingers or the tip of a knife, but be careful! If you use your fingers, make sure you don’t get your skin pinched between the crossbow and the string.
If you have trouble pulling back the string, you can use a lever to extend it.
Use a lever to extend the draw length of your bow. This will make it easier to draw back and fire your weapon.
Once you’ve pulled back the string, hook it over the hook at the end of your bow (the notch at the top). Then put an arrow into place on top of it by sliding it in from above or below as needed. You’ll then need to secure it with a nocking point (this is where you’ll attach your bowstring).
Secure an arrow into place by sliding it into position from above or below as needed until it rests securely on top of your bowstring.
Hold the crossbow in your left hand by the two ends of the wooden handle.
To load an arrow into the crossbow, grab hold of both ends of the wooden handle with one hand and firmly hold on to them as if you were about to pull back on them. Make sure that when you do this, your fingers are not in front of the trigger or trigger guard. You want to avoid any accidents here by making sure that your fingers aren’t near the bow string or trigger until you are ready to shoot it off.
Now push down on the lever located in front of where you would normally put your left foot if you were standing up. This will raise up a metal plate which will allow you access to place an arrow into its place inside of the bow itself. Once this plate has been raised up, take one end of your arrow and hold onto it tightly as if it were about ready to be pulled back on by yourself at any moment’s notice!
Pull or push the bolt into the slot where it sits in front of the bow string.
To load the arrow into your crossbow, you must first cock it. To do this, first make sure that the safety is on and then pull back the string with your hand until it locks in place. You can use your left hand to hold the string and then place your right hand on top of it to support it as you pull.
Once you have cocked your crossbow, use your left hand to hold onto the end of the arrow and push or pull it into place until it sits just behind where the bowstring meets the stock (or front) of your crossbow. Then release your left hand from holding onto the arrow.
After you have released your left hand from holding onto the arrow, place it back on top of the string and pull back again until it locks in place again with a click sound. At this point, you can remove your right hand from supporting under the bowstring as well since all three fingers should be off at this point.
Pull back on the crank until you hear a click.
To load an arrow into a crossbow, first pull back on the crank to cock it.
Pull back on the crank until you hear a click. This indicates that the string has been fully cocked and is ready to fire.
Place your arrow on top of the rest, with its nock facing forward toward the trigger mechanism.
Hold your bow at waist height with one hand, then place your other hand on top of your thumb and index finger as if you were holding an imaginary gun. This will help stabilize and aim your bow more accurately.
Place an arrow on the rail.
The arrow should be placed so that it is level with the collar and sits on top of your hand. If you have a short or long draw, adjust where you place the arrow accordingly. You want to avoid drawing on top of your hand, as it will cause pain when shooting and can lead to injury if done frequently.
Place your finger tips on top of your bowstring and then place them back down while still touching the string. This will help you develop a feel for how much pressure is needed to pull back properly. It will also help you determine if there is any string buzz when pulling back because of improper form or technique.
Push down on the end of the arrow to release it from your grasp.
Pick up your crossbow and pull back on the string. The string will be spring-loaded with a trigger at one end that you’ll need to pull back with your middle finger.
Place an arrow on the string and push it down until it locks into place. You’ll need to do this every time you want to shoot an arrow, so make sure you practice before you’re out in the field!
Aim at your target and pull back on the trigger. The trigger will release a catch that allows the bowstring to fly backward, propelling the arrow forward into your target.
When you release it, it will fly at a very high speed and hopefully hit its target!
The crossbow is a weapon that can be found in DayZ Standalone. It can be looted from military bases, police stations, and hospitals.
It’s usually found with a quiver of 20 bolts and requires 1 unit of ammunition per shot. The bolts for the crossbow are similar to the arrows for the bow, but they’re much more powerful due to the use of gunpowder.
This guide will show you how to load an arrow into your crossbow. This is a fairly simple process and can be mastered fairly easily if you follow the steps provided.
