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.
