To be honest, I've had this happen a few times and am not completely sure how I sorted it , just played around untill it worked.
You could adjust the trigger for more sear engagement.

Is the detent ball and spring in place ?
If you mean the ball and spring on the trigger safety slide, yes it is. I`ve had the trigger unit apart and buffed all the mating surfaces and completely cleaned. So I`ll give it another go when I get the chance. Whilst I think the trigger is quite a nice release (when I can get it to catch) I do not think much of the way the piston contacts the primary sear to engage the mechanism.
Hi sorry I've just picked this up, been many months one the fishing forums.
You need to cock the trigger and push the fiddly bit down also whilst inserting, it will take you two or three goes to master, and best practised with no spring first of all till you get the knack.
I have the original Longbow manual, and a PDF soft copy somewhere I will look out.

A copy of the manual would be nice. Can you be more specific about the " fiddly bit" Do you mean the safety probe which fits into the safety slide catch. And yes I have cocked the trigger before inserting.
Hi Archie,
Yes that is the fiddly bit, once its in and the safety can slide/move etc, release the trigger and it should cock, as I said its weird just like Jonny said also, so try it a few times with no spring etc.
The manual is available here

Many thanks, I will be having another look at it over the next few days.
