Nice :D

@automated11- I think in an earlier thread you mentioned you have the Apex. On the point blanc, there rail extends past the prod- stirrup is far forward. On the pictures of the Apex, it looks like two thinner pieces form the extension and not the rail itself. Is that correct? How sturdy are they?

not sure about indoor shooting rules, but most of those accessories are not permitted for 3D shooting as far as the IBO are concerned. just thought i would mention this if you were planning to buy these items for tournament use.

here is a blurb for the IBO rule book

12. Crossbow (X-BOW)
Crossbows must be standard production crossbows, however, minor modifications such as
butt plates, strings, and the like shall be permitted as long as such modifications do not void
the manufacturer's warranty or diminish designed safety standards. No Hooked Butts,
Palm Rests, or extra equipment used for bracing will be allowed. (see Section IV, A, 8)
Bolts must be no less than 20/64ths in diameter and measure no shorter than 14 inches. All
bolts must be identical in type and size and point weight. Bolts must use at least three (3)
vanes or feathers and screw in field points. Crossbows shooting up to and including 300
fps must shoot bolts weighing no less than 400 grains. Crossbows shooting 301 to 325 fps
must shoot bolts weighing no less than 425 grains. Crossbows shooting more than 325 fps
must shoot bolts weighing no less than 450 grain. Any type of sight may be used. Any
archer using a variable power scope shall be responsible to tape or otherwise secure the
adjustment setting to create a fixed magnification, prior to beginning competition. X-BOW
archers will shoot from the green stake.
Crossbows must be in sound condition with a working safety. The crossbow shall not be
cocked until the archer is at the stake and preparing to shoot. The safety must remain on
until the archer is ready to shoot. The crossbow must be loaded while in a downward
position and pointed in the direction of the target. No crossbow may be loaded while
pointing up.
