Well my Ibex came today, and I have to say the power of this thing is unreal! Currently using a bag target filled with old jeans and its blasting through it like butter.
Haven't had much chance to adjust the scope yet but getting about a 1 inch group at 20 yards (Handcocking) which im happy with so far!
All in all couldn't be happier with it!!!

try a rope cocker, much easier, better groups too.

I got my Ibex in the mail yesterday as well. What a joy to shoot. Can't wait to spend some significant bench time with it and get a deer in front of her.

Pack that bag tighter. My Vortex has yet to have a pass through on a rag bag.
Enjoy you Excal.

I love my Ibex. Got it used and it's a tack driver. Happy shooting

Nice! Good to hear you are happy with your new bow. Enjoy.

Yeah ive heard what a difference it makes, I may have to try it, would probably still end up doing it by hand though!

Going to have another look at the bag tonight see what else I can squeeze in it haha, might have to look into a proper foam target block!
