Re: got it! micro

thanks norm. i will adjust it tomorrow and shoot again. the guy at the bow shop said the stock quills weighed 246 so with a 125 grain head im shooting 371 gr. im glad they shoot that accurate because 125 gr gives way more options on choosing a broadhead. i shoot rage through my vertical bow but lean...

Re: ?speed?

im new to crossbow, but not archery or hunting by any means. and shot placement is key for sure and speed isnt everything but at the begininig of this thread we were talking speed vrs energy.
