Went to the range today to finish sighting in my vortex,couldn't get them 10pt arrows to hit nothing so i got it dialed in with firebolts.
Well the wife was bored so she came along. After getting the vortex on i broke out the ibex and started shooting. After a few shots she asked if she could try...sure!!
After giving her the safety lecture she started shooting at 20yds, three shots...three bull's!! Beginner's luck!! 30yds...three bulls, 40yds...damn near bull!!
When she was done making me look bad she handed me the ibex back and said it was HER bow now!! Huh...wha...this could get ugly!!!

Re: This could get ugly!!!
First-time shooters often have such luck' likely because they don't have some of the bad habits-like expecting a recoil-that some season shooters develop.

Now that it is hers you can replaced it with another one cause you don't want to use her bow just in case you DRYFIRE it. ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: This could get ugly!!!
hummm....I don't have any problems with ten point pro elite arrows or the firebolts, they both fly the same with brass inserts in them or even alumium inserts, shooting any of the broadheads or diff. sizes of field points, they all shoot like bullets out of a rifle. And I went from the stock 4in vanes to the fusion zeon 2 in as well. I wonder what the problem can be?

Re: This could get ugly!!!
I don't understand it neither...these arrows were given to me by a friend who sold his 10pt xbow. Almost all of them are new...all he did was refletch them with 2in blazer's.cevans wrote:hummm....I don't have any problems with ten point pro elite arrows or the firebolts, they both fly the same with brass inserts in them or even alumium inserts, shooting any of the broadheads or diff. sizes of field points, they all shoot like bullets out of a rifle.

At 20yds there was no problem,at 30yds they started drifting right,at 40 yds about 4in right! I had my wife stand off to the side and she said it looked to her like they were cork screwing at longer distance's! Got me!!! Switched to firebolts...dead on!!
I don't trust them now...I think I got about 16 or 18 of them, atleast a dozen are brand new!! If you want them send me a pm with a address and I will send them to you free of charge!!!
