The instructional DVD included with the package was very well-prepared, and it goes over the assembly steps in such detail that even a person who has no idea what a crossbow is will be able to put it together.

This is a mandatory step for any crossbow, and ideally you should apply a new layer of wax for every 5 to 10 arrows fired. Better be safe and stick only to lubricants made by the manufacturer of your crossbow. Once the string is waxed up, I recommend cocking the Axiom SMF with the rope cocking aid supplied with the package. This crossbow has a draw weight of lbs. Your actual results will vary slightly depending on weather, and significantly with arrow weight change.
