I bought a Matrix 380.
I fired it once successfully.
I just tried again, except I loaded it incorrectly, I pulled the string back with safety on, now the trigger doesn't work! I don't know what to do, any suggestions?

It won't let me uncock it.
Re: Help Please - Crossbow Problem
It's probably caught on your anti dry fire device. Put the safety on fire, and grab your rope cocker and try to recock it. It should work. then either decock as per Excaliburs intructions for using the anti dryfire rig, or shoot a bolt into your target bag. Try that anyhow. Hopefully it's nothing sinister.

What wildcat said. If U cocked the CB with the safety on the string did NOT get captured by the claws as they are prevented from coming down with the safety on. The string must be held by the ADF device. Good luck and plese let us know the outcome of this problem.

My 405 does that a lot. You may have to pull the trigger again so it can reset and then re-cock the bow. Just make sure the safety is in the fire position.
Good Luck
