Much Clearer than the Tenpoint video in my opinion! I recently got the Viper 430 from you David (I am completely new to Tenpont and cranks.), and this video cleared up all of the questions I had on the cranking system. Thank you for taking the time to actually show what is going on inside the Bow. Great job on this!
Just a quick clarification, around the 6:30 mark, you are showing the back crank on the Nitro, you SAY back crank twice, but you actually only physically back crank 1 1/2 times. Then half crank to finish. Just wondering if you MEAN back crank 1 1/2 then half to TOTAL 2 cranks? Hopefully that makes sense?
There is some plus and minus to two exact turns. Part of it is where the handle is when you get all the way back. What your doing with the two back cranks is allowing some slack so the trigger fully settles onto the pins. It can settle with less than 2 turns but generally if you say back crank two turns it turns into 1.5 or 1. If you say back crank 1 turn people would not go back enough. Good catch!!
Just wanted to clarify something. On my Nitro 505, new model, after I do the 2 back cranks, EVERY time that I hold the button and try the additional last 1/2 crank I get the clicking. You say this is OK, just want to make sure nothing is wrong as Ive never tried it and NOT had it click on my bow. It shoots fine and accurately but I dont want to be messing things up inside and have trouble later.
also i’m confused you said after cocking let back twice then once with the gear stop but on my 425 siege a sticker says “ backed d handle once and then hood gear stop and manually rotate silver knob backward until it stops
@@jojogrow5815 this year they went to a different series of instructions in an attempt to get people to stop over back cranking. As noted on that brake most times two turns back is all you need to do
I have the tenpoint havoc rs440 and some how the left trigger release pin fell off gone. I'm not sure where it came off, and I'm not sure how it came off. Where can I find one. Also, can the bow still work after getting wet in the rain. One day, my bow got wet, and when I attempted to de-cock and it make lots cranking noise, any explanation is appreciated
Ya…that is all one piece. You will want a service center to replace that for you they won’t sell just the part. There is a bushing that is probably gummed up from being wet. Same deal a service center can pop out the crank and clean the bushing for you
I have the 10 point siege for 25, it doesn’t have the pin in the crank handle to disengage the front string which makes the brush extend beyond the end. How can I disengage it?
So what you’re saying is that it doesn’t disengage at all. If that’s the case, can I put a slight tension on it to put the brush back behind the front so it doesn’t get damaged?
I have a situation when decocking old model. I did about three clockwise turns while pushing the silver tabs forward until the hooks disengage. When I was winding down the string it felt like it was skipping and jamming. Planning to get a local shop to take a look.
There is a nylon washer on both sides of the strap. If you have too much slack the strap catches it and folds it over. Bet that is it. You will need a new strap and gear if that is the case
Im concerned with the gear mechanism being how I was caught in heavy rain storm last season. How can I check for damage, rust, and relube the gear housing? Thanks.
No it’s not a big deal. Take out all the screws on the right side of the bow and peel off the cheek with a small screwdriver. You may have to reglue the cheek back on
Thx for your help! This is awesome that you actually reply and very helpful. Much appreciated. I’ll give it a try on my Seige 410. I’m sure it’s the same set up as the others.

Spot on David ! A much needed video. You covered everything very well !
Thank you for your time .
my crossbow just started doing that bumping noise like you showed how do i fix it
You need to be a f....xx rocket scientist to operate that Acuslide.....
is there anything i can do to fix that clicking noise because it happens everytime i decock

It just means that the two turns are enough to disengage the brake. Your good

That one you can’t. It has a different dfi system
So what you’re saying is that it doesn’t disengage at all. If that’s the case, can I put a slight tension on it to put the brush back behind the front so it doesn’t get damaged?
yes just don’t go too far
Thanks!
What's the name of both Cross bows?
Thanks so much for your help

Thanks! Shop got it working without having to open stock. Should be ok, right?
If the washer was not too bent it will work fine

Thanks.
Ther is no real lube. You can take the side cover off and clean and dry the crank
Thx Wayne….do you have a video of actually taking the side cover off??
No it’s not a big deal. Take out all the screws on the right side of the bow and peel off the cheek with a small screwdriver. You may have to reglue the cheek back on

Wouldn't worry, since he said the "plastic" teeth could wear down.
