Or maybe I am. This is my first time buying or assembling or even using a crossbow. I assembled it as per the manual, fully cocked the rope back with the ccd, put the bolt in all the way back odd feather down, but i cant take the safety off. Now I may have done something stupid but I cant tell. I dont know what's wrong. Any help?
Hi Everyone, first time here and I need some help/advice.
I have a cobra adder v2 crossbow. 130lbs and shoots 7.5" bolts.
I love the crossbow, its accurate, with the top fed magazine I can load and shoot quickly. I have absolutely no complaints about the crossbow. I see why it is such a popular choice.
However, the issue I am having is the bolts go too far into my targets! I am shooting from 10/15meters away which i know is not super far but I have a proper, competition grade Boss which is one of the layered foam ones. I have also tried one of those woven, circular like straw ones. I have also tried putting the woven one in front of the foam one but what keeps happening is the bots go too deep into the target and it ruins the flights! They are not going all the way through the target because its 50cm deep but they go in too far and I am burning through bolts!
Can anyone suggest a good target or boss or material that will have the density to slow these bolts down enough before they go too far?!
I shot at the target at a distance of 20 meters, and 80% of the arrows penetrated the target and scattered into the jungle and could not be found. My target material is Eva polyethylene foam, with a thickness of 45 cm, but it still can't stop the arrows. What good targets do you recommend?
I'm thinking about getting a small crossbow for fun / home defense / worst case hunting capability.
I don't want to spent a fortune and a crossbow with a magazine (especially in Germany) seems like the logical choice.
Anyone have experience with this crossbow or small pistole crossbows in general?
Got this old cross bow a few years ago back from a neighbor. String has seen better days and wasn’t sure what draw weight would be sufficient for white tail deer on the replacement. Even with the frayed string it sent a bolt through a 3/8 OSB plywood
I just bought a steamboat m10 tactical pistol crossbow because I think it's badass. I was curious what the communities thoughts are on hunting with this crossbow. It seems like with the one 150 lb limb it would be good for this. It seems to be accurate based on the videos I've watched. What are your thoughts? Has anybody tried hunting with one?
Hello, recently I have changed a string on my excalibur g340 and noticed quite noticeable misalignment on the limbs, I dont remember if it was the same with the old string as well. Is that normal? If not, how should I adjust it? Thank you.
