Well, I finally purchased a new crossbow that I have been wanting for some time. I purchased a new Barnett Quad 400. Even though I have an older Barnett crossbow that I have used, I have a few questions about care for my new crossbow.

1. How often should I wax the strings?
2. How often should I replace the strings? (how many shots or months)
3. What about general maintenance?
4. What arrows should I used with this QUAD 400?
5. What about maintenance for the safety and trigger?

Thanks for any help. I really want to start off right with this nice crossbow. When I purchased my 1st crossbow about 5 years ago, I just bought it and started shooting without learning about maintenance and general care. Now that I have this new one, I want to "re-learn" the proper way of maintenance and other things that I need to know. Funny thing is I have several kills with my other crossbow, but this is not about kills to me. It is about maintaining my equipment the proper way. Again, thanks for any help.
