Captain Morgan Shootin

Post by vixenmaster »

Lets say i had to put one of my Varizones on him. I couldn't see well enuff wid the 1x Hawke scope. I used the Factory quills, its on at 20 yds. Its also on at 40 yds. Capt. Morgan is not as flat shootin as Marie is, i had to lower the speed ring abit. I used 100gr field pts that made arrows weigh in at 350.8gr.The rope cockin i did it several times standin up, it were raisin hob wid me back. So i jus sat down & let my leg rope cock him. The screw that has C2 pawl lever is several thousands too long n catches the stock, that maybe the big thing thats makes ppl. think it won't fit down on the stock correctly. Jus my 1st time review of the Micro Nitemare. Its a keeper n i'll wager its gonna give many a tick toter a dirt nap! :D

So Captain Morgan is a knuckle popper? Is harder to draw than your 355? With the shorter stroke and all? Have fun....

Anoder happy Micro owner I see,,, CONGRATS Vixenmaster, I am quite sure you will put more than a few of them tick totter down with the captain,,, I think mine is a lot easier (well noticeably easier) cocking than my 380's, But I think they will have a better cocking aid for the micro real soon for those that want it!! enjoy Mike!!

I gotta get the "Lil Bitch" back together and join the fun, but right now my buddy with the auto shop is waiting on the sound deadening foam they inject, not spray, in all crevices of the new car's so we can fill the barrel before assembly, help me sneak up on them old "tick toters"... :wink: like to find some Titanium limb and riser bolts locally before that also,,,,

That's why Cap'n Morgan favored the cutlass, it was short, more maneuverable and lethal up close! :lol: Congrat's Mr.Mke! :wink:

...can you provide the length and sizes of said Low-Carb (titanium fasteners) so those of us not so mechanically inclinded know what to order?...Also, is there any difference in length and sizes between the 380 and the 335?....Bada Bing 8) was fighting me already as he wanted a second helping of pasta and fresh homemade italian sauce and we said, "NO! :cry:

Mike you got me with the title... a few years ago we took a gaggle of our daughter's friends with us on spring break at the beach, one of the guys toted a half gallon of Captain Morgan with him everywhere, by the end of the week he had it knocked out :lol:
Glad you're having fun with the Micro, you're getting quite a collection now, if you only shoot one deer with each bow you'll tag out :lol:

The riser-mainframe and limb-riser bolts are actually called "countersunk socket screws" on the Ti64 site. The button head screws are for the stirrup-riser.
