happiness is owning a MAG 340!
Just got back in from sighting in my new MAG340. WHAT A FANTASTIC LITTLE XBOW! SO QUIET, DEADLY ACCURATE, SMOOTH and ABSOLUTELY NO VIBRATION (unlike my old 30 year old compound xbow, which is 3 pounds heavier and much, much noisier). I had somewhat sighted it IN using a laser level in the basement (at about 30 feet), so I started out at 15 yards. 1st and 2nd shots were together, but low by 4" and right by 2". Totally shocked at how smooth it was! Made some sight adjustments - shot 2 more - then refined it again. Then shot 3 more - all in the 2 inch bullseye. Backed up to 20 yards. Shot once - needed a little more adjustment (1" up and 1/2 inch left) - shot 2 more - both in 2 inch circle. Backed up to 30 yards, and used the 30 yard up-arrow in the scope and hit the dead centre. Now ----- waiting for the fall deer season!!! All those shots were with the arrows supplied with the bow (which I believe are 2213??). I have a lot of 2219 arrows (both aluminum and carbon fiber) so I cut 2 down - one at 16.5" (to match the supplied arrow for comparison sake) and one at 18". I shot those two arrows at 20 yards - they drop 2" lower and are a tad slower (though not enough to worry about when hunting) - but the penetration is FAR greater with the 2219's. The vane-side of the supplied arrows stuck out of the target by 4 - 6", while the 2219 were completely buried - had to pull them all the way through the target. So, I think that I will cut all my old arrows down to 16.5" and put 2" vanes (used to be 4" vanes) on them and that is what I will be using for hunting. TOTALLY HAPPY with the crossbow and would definitely recommend it! Thanks you EXCALIBER. ![Thumbup :thumbup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumbup.gif)

Welcome to the forum! The 340 is one popular bow and for good reason!
Some people just like stepping on rakes

From one 340 shooter to another welcome to the club I have been happy with mine ,It is the fastest Excal I can comfortably rope cock being vertically challenged in the height department and played a a roll in my purchasing it .
I also shoot 2219 xx75 bolts and have many harvest with them with no issues, they hit hard and pass through large deer no problem .
I recommend different aiming points for every shot taken in practice so as not to damage your bolts.

Re: happiness is owning a MAG 340!
Thanks for that little tip - will do so before I go out and practice some more. I've cut down my old 2219's and am waiting for the new nocks to come into the store and then I can fletch 12 of them with 2" vanes - then go practice - practice - practice!! lol ![Thumbup :thumbup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumbup.gif)
