Windage is not too bad it was very gusty on the 60m shot. Still getting used to the trigger and where it breaks. Not a 2 stage but breaks very clean when it does. Filthy weather here today so won't be doing anymore shooting till tomorrow

Looks like the critters might have something to worry about! Is the windage worse than a pellet in same wind?
How would you say the flight chararistics compare to a pellet or slug. Hope your tracking skills are up.might be following blood trails and desturbed vegitation for the odd critter. No impact shock if ya a bit off. Nice weapon. Some good targets there. 👍 |

New target, new bolts with Ukraine flag fletching for good luck (my fletching on my traditional bow is blue & yellow too)
20m  40m bullseye  60m after the wind got up.

Hahaha yes it is.
New target arrived today along with some more higher quality crossbow bolts so will be flat out getting it fully sighted in for hunting. I think my airguns don't like it's new safemate as they haven't been touched for nearly two weeks...... :( |

So i did a google image search to see why the need for such a statement in the scope, and I can confirm it is evidentally quite relevant!

Well I need a proper Xbow rated target....
Blew through both hay bales at 20..... and only just holding by fletching at 50 so took it out to 80 and below shows how far the 20" bolt came through both bales. Scope with range reticle is perfect. At 80 I aimed about 14" right as there is a right to left breeze and POI was perfect for height but drifted a little bit further to the left. Trigger is very crisp, and shot is surprisingly very quiet and virtually no vibration.  80 yards  Through both Bales and sticking out by a good 6"  |

I had a similar bow to that one. I ended up selling it in the end as you lose the bolts so easily and if you hit a tree they brake, it was costing too much

The green rope is the cocking rope. Has a sled that runs up the stock to make sure it's evenly pulled back

Haha will get some cheaper carbon bolts with small game tips for rabbits and Hare. Broadheads for Wallaby, Deer, Tahr and Chamois.
Yes it does have a reminder about your fingers, my xbow has excellent finger gaurds. Older xbows if you left your fingers up the string would take the tips off when you fired. Here is a top veiw.
