A retracting bolt is fired into the brain of the animal, so the positioning of the device is vital; between and slightly above the eyes. Draw diagonal lines between the horns and the eyes and aim where the lines cross. Hold the device hard against the head of the animal to prevent damage to the device’s spring, and to ensure the bolt goes far enough into the brain. After two or three charges have been fired the gun will get hot. This is normal and if you have a few calves to destroy wearing gloves is recommended. After a number of activators are fired, they can become tight to remove. A knob at the end of the handle can be used to help remove the activator.
