Each regulator is made in the form of clamps with through hole in one of them and threaded hole in the other one and screw with head in the form of cylinder having rifled side surface. There is protrusion in the form of hook on surface of one of clamps. After fixing clamps on end sections of arms of bow finishes of auxiliary bow-string are placed on hooks and bow-string is tightened with the aid of trigger mechanism. Then key bow-string is arranged on ends of bow and auxiliary bow-string and clamps of regulators are removed after movement of trigger mechanism to front part of arbalest.
