Love the ADF !!!

Post by xbowhunter10 »

Well today I thought I would field test the ADF that I recently put on my 355 :roll: Actually I didn't mean to field test it , it just worked out that way ! I did it once years ago when I first got my Vortex and got lucky that it didn't damage anything . Sure was glad I had Danny Miller send me the ADF for my 355 . If anyone is thinking of getting one I would HIGHLY recommend them .

I first thought the adf was a big pain until I got use to it on the 380 . After a few weeks I don't think I would want a bow without one :D

I've had my 380 for 16 months now and have yet to experience the "thrill"!!! I hope not to, but stuff happens, and the ADF is reassuring. It adds to the noise of an already noisy package, but I'm slowly learning to move past that as a bothersome issue, and just remember to aim at the heart. 8)

It makes you repeat yourself too :D

I've never thought about it but I guess it would have to make noise....the string stop latch is gliding along on top of the arrow and snaps down after the arrow/string passes underneath. I don't notice any noise that I could pinpoint as coming from the adf........cause there is a lot of noise going on from other places lol

Hmmmm, I've never noticed any noise from the ADF. Not saying it's not there but as mentioned there are jaws flipping up, limbs flying forward and a a string thumping on bumpers. I have not perceived any noise, jmo..

The last dryfire I had was in 1995. That's 3yrs after getting my very first crossbow and a total of now 20 years ago. However, it is possible that it could happen again, so I picked one up for my 355. That was a little over a year ago and I have yet to install it. Actually thought about including it with the Eclipse XT package I have up in the trading post. lol I guess, hate messing with perfection, either that or I'm a huge procrastinator. lol
