I had read about the noise & recoil from all the "released energy"
) Nah. no noise & no recoil. No distractions or flinch checks etc. Of course I shoot a flintlock, even in the gun season so maybe it's just relative.I set the sights with a caliper and some guestimates of angles and shot it once to make sure it was in the back stop. Then I shot an offhand 5 shot group from 25 yards. First thought was. "There should be a law against these things". All 5 touching, and took out the half dollar sized bull. (peep & pin sight) Surprized the (carbon) bolts survived.
For those lurkers here, sitting on the fence about buying one of these, take my advice and, just do it. The only crossbow I had shot was years back & it struck me as a toy. Not so with these. They are great fun and serious weapons. Instead of watching football games this archery season, I'll be where I love to be. Sorry for the long winded post here but just wanted you guys/gals to know you had a hand in this.
