Well sorry to here that about your stupid boyfriend! I thought the Ten points had an anti dry-fire thing on them? But anyways, if you noticed a chip I would not shoot it and have it looked at ASAP! If you cock it and shoot it again you could be seriously hurt buy some flying parts!! There are two ten point guys on here and one is a factory rep. One is called htoler and is here somewhat regularly, and the other comes and goes, but they should be able to help ya out, I am having a brain fart and can't think of Randy's screen name, sorry. As far as the battery goes I have no idea about ten points. If it is like a BSA, or Horton the knob that you turn to turn it on should be two parts, with the top part being only a sixteenth of an inch think and you hold the bottom and turn the top to get to the battery. But that is only what I know from the ones I have used. Again, do not shoot the CB until looked at and smack that man friend of yours! Tell him no kissing until he fixes the bow!! LOL!! Anyways, welcome to the forum!
