New crossbow....

I'm just going over it now... From what I can tell Grizz's translation is pretty accurate.

The adustable "length of pull" is actually: the grips (see the photo) are adjustable to make for a better fit/comfort when mounting (to shoulder) and better ability to fire/pull trigger leading to greater accuracy....

(Germans are masters of run-on sentences! LOL)

...as well as very reliable and low-maintenance (with provided dampers/absorbers).

This crossbow used with our scope, level, and bipod with a chosen (particular?) arrow, and a lack of wind, can hit a soccer ball at 130 meters and can be adjusted for the whole length/distance.

The completely black version is one of 3 limited special editions (selling to "first come first served" as long as the supply lasts).

From what I can tell, it looks like the scope is a holographic and probably preset for distances with a particular arrow? I am just guessing here. I am interested so if anyone has contacts and particulars, please advise me !

I bet the spirit level system is some sort of scope lift

Spirit levels were, and to some extent still are, very popular on long range rifles. They're basically a small bubble level, much like you would find in a carpenders level, placed under or beside the front sight. It basically tells you if you have any side to side canting of the gun or, in this case, the crossbow. You can see it in the picture on the left side of the riser.

I am a personal friend of Mr.Wetzler and I can only say the same as Matthias72. Mr. Wetzler knows what he is doing and with that adjustable mount of his you can shoot very far. Not only far but accurate too. I am useing it on my crossbows. I will probably buy this crossbow becasue its very easy to transport. I often ride my motorcycle and this gives me the possibility to transport the crossbow on my back.

I also see the advantage when I am hiking.

I can see that some wondering about arrows. You should always chose your arrows carefully. You should shoot the arrows and see which arrows flies the same. If you wish to read some good information about arrows you should read Matthias72 website (arrow tests). www.cacciaebalestra.altervista.org

Greywolf... here is a thread where I show my mount. But there is an upgraded mount now that I will soon buy. I use this kind of mount on both my Vixen and Exomax. Its not very cheap but it takes crossbow shooting to another level.

Ok, pardon my ignorance, but how would you gauge the turns on the dial for trajectory? Is it possible to have preset marks? For instance, after shooting 40 yards and then targeting a 100 yard object, how would you know how much to compensate for on the mount?

You have to test shoot it at different distances and then do marks on the wheel. Then you can be ready to shoot at different distances very rapidly.

I see. I guess I was imagining having to rotate the dial numerous times.

On my Exomax 1 turn allows a distance changing between 10 and 80 yards.
