FAQs

The retailer you purchased your crossbow from may have registered your bow for you. However, you can register your crossbow by filling out the form here.

Crossbow serial numbers are located on the rail or inside of the rail depending on the model. Turn the crossbow over and locate the serial number on the inside of the rail, towards the stock, behind the trigger assembly.

It is acceptable to have your Mission crossbow cocked while in hunting situations.  However, Mission recommends you discharge the bolt into a discharge target to reduce the stress on the limbs after the hunt – if using the Sub-1 use the de-cock feature.  We do not recommend storing or transporting your bow in the cocked position.

All Mission crossbows are supplied with cocking ropes to avoid injury to hands and to ensure the crossbow is cocked properly.  We always recommend using the cocking aid when cocking your crossbow.

No, most crossbow dry fires occur because of nock failure.  We recommend using Mission Aluminum half moon nocks to greatly reduce the chances of a nock failure.

Using a 7/32 hex wrench you insert this into the front limb bolts and turn in even increments on each side. Do not go past flush on the barrel.

Yes.  You can use any 3 blade fixed head that has a cutting diameter of 1-1/8” or less.  We do not recommend using 4 blade broadheads.

If you notice that your string has broken or severely frayed strands, you should immediately replace both your string and cables.  String life expectancy depends on the volume of shooting and the care of the string.  We recommend waxing your string and cables with Zebra Brand High-Performance String Wax to increase the longevity of your string.

The Mission crossbows are cocked using a cocking rope. The proper technique and safety for cocking your crossbow is also found in your crossbow owners manual.

Steps Include :

1. Place your foot on inside of the “prod” to secure crossbow against the ground.
2. Make sure the cocking rope is secured around the cocking rope anchor.
3. Place the hooks around the string with hooks facing up to capture the string, making sure that the hooks are located close to each side of the rail.
4. With your hands on the handles of the cocking rope and close to the crossbow rail, pull the string the full length of the rail stopping when the trigger assembly receiver makes a pronounced click. This indicates the string is fully engaged into the string catch.

We strongly recommend the use of our Mission branded bolts with the “half-moon” style aluminum nocks.  This allows the string to be in full contact with the nock during firing. Minimum weight and minimum length requirements vary by crossbow model.  See below for choosing the correct Mission branded bolt:

• Sub-1 Lite, Sub-1 and Sub-1 XR – 19” bolt is available in 250 or 300 grains (excluding point) with a minimum total bolt and point weight of 350 grains.
• MXB 320, MXB 360, MXB 400, MXB Dagger, MXB Charge and MXB Sniper Lite – 22” bolt is available in 300 grains (excluding point) with a minimum total bolt and point weight of 400 grains.

We recommend using rail lube every 15-20 shots! Our Mission Rail lube is designed to help lubricate the rail which will prolong the life of your string.
