Essential Safety

  • Eye protection required. Ear protection recommended.
  • Inspect before each use: sling bands, handle posts, reel mount, line, and knots.
  • Clear your range: maintain a safety perimeter of at least 25 ft around the operator.
  • Never aim at people, animals, vehicles, windows, or near/over power lines.
  • Use only in open outdoor areas with clear overhead space and stable footing.
  • Replace worn or damaged parts immediately; discontinue use if damage is found.

Troubleshooting

  • Line tangled on release: Ensure the line is tightly spooled and free of knots before each launch.
  • Reel Not locking into place: Make sure the rubber bag and ring are seated flush to the face of the One-Shot.
  • Short launch distance: The rubber bag may need to be streached before use. You can do this by pulling back on the bag while its seated in the One-Shot. MAKE SURE to have the DX Reel attached or you can launch the rubber bag and ring out of the face.
  • Weight veers off course: Inspect for uneven pouch tension or damaged weights. Launch in calm weather for best accuracy.
  • Line snagged in trees: Gently pull back on the line; do not pull sharply. Then let go of the line so the weight hopefully frees itself and desends down the tree.
