Brand New for $375. Excited for it to get here, at that price I couldn't resist it. Anyone have this bow? Was eyeing it at the shop the other day.

Wow, great price; I've heard good things about it... I'm still shooting the Carnage...

Took a break from the woods long enough to go to the local shop and have the draw length changed to my 28" and the peep placed exactly where I wanted it and then tied in place securely. Haven't had time to shoot it yet, but at the pro shop I hit a business card with it at 10 yards. I can tell you they sure have gotten better at putting the sight on in the right place than they were the last time I bought a new bow ha

Alright so just shot it about 30 times. Pretty accurate out of the box. Had to bring the rest to the right a touch. After that my 10 yard pin (plan on 10-20-30-40-50) put 3 in the bullseye twice. Ok, done. Next, 20 yard pin puts all 3 about 4-5" above the bullseye. I moved the pin itself as much as I could, and it's still 3" high. Here's what has me perplexed - shooting the 10 yard pin ( that is dead on at 10 yards) at 20 yards still leaves it 2-3" high. Any ideas? Guess I hadn't given thought to "muzzle rise" on a bow, is that a thing? Do I need to set it up 20-10-30-40-50?

don't shoot a 10 yard pin. today bows can shoot 25-30 yds with the 1st pin. 10yds should only be used to get on target and center shot.


Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all!

No need for a pin under 20 yards. With a 5 pin sight I always went 25, 35, 45, 50 and 55. For years I hunted with a 2 pin sight with them set on 25 and 35 and killed the piss out of them out to 40 yards. At 40 I would aim at the top of the lungs with the 35. The bow I had that setup on shot 244fps. Life is much simpler since I went to a single adjustable pin. wink

That's kinda what I was finding out...guess this thing is quiet a bit faster than I'm used to. 25 sounds good. I found I was still high at 30 yards using the pin that was dead on at 10. Thing is I don't plan on shooting em much past 25. I probably would be just fine with 1 pin and knowing my drops. Prob what I need anyway.
