Do I have to periodically lubricate the parts of my crossbow?

Yes.  Periodically apply a drop of TenPoint’s Flight Rail and Trigger Lubricant to your wheels or cams and axles when needed.  Also, lubricate the cam bearings if you have a reverse draw crossbow, especially if the bow has gotten wet from being outside. 

Periodically apply a drop of lubricant to the trigger mechanism inside the string slot close to the string latch and safety slide, and inside the safety knob window to help keep your trigger mechanism working properly. 

After using your crossbow in damp or wet conditions, dry the interior of the trigger housing with a blow dryer.  To avoid rusting, spray the interior of the housing with WD-40 (or a comparable product) to displace any remaining moisture. Apply a drop of lubricant inside the string slot and inside the safety knob window to be sure the mechanism is fully lubricated.
