OFFHAND SHOOTING

Post by confederate »

I was wondering what kind of average groups I could expect from an exocet when shooting offhand. I shot one today at the proshop. It was a little diiferent I will have to say.I just didnt know what to expect since this was my first experience with a crossbow. I shot about ten shots at 12 yards with the fiber optic sights. I hit the Bull on the Block Target every time but twice. I was trying to flinch a little because when it went off it was pretty abrupt. Is a scope a lot easier ? What about shooting say 30 yards in a hunting situation off hand. How much accuracy can I expect?

I'd expect about the same size groups you can get shooting a .22 rifle offhand. It really depends on the shooter's ability. At 30 yards I wouldn't shoot two arrows at the same aiming point (on a good day :) ) unless I could afford to destroy arrows.
