Congratulations Jerry, on this, your latest crossbow product. In all my
77 years, I've not shot a better, more fun to use, weapon. I've had mine
about a month now, and usually shoot at least two sessions a day with
it. I've read many of the comments others have written and agree with
all I have read.
I find it to be a light, powerful, fast, precision instrument. Mine was
first adjusted to 150 lbs and I had no trouble drawing it, except that
the gloves I was using sometimes were cumbersome. I took your advice,
Jerry, and bought a pair of weight lifter's gloves. What a difference!
I also took your advice and lowered the 150 lbs draw to about 100 lbs
while I just shoot target practice. Arrows still pierce four 1 inch
rubber mats and two 3/4" pressed wood boards I use as a back drop for my
stuffed target.
I also wish to commend you for your caring, helpful attitude when
dealing with customers. Shortly after receiving my mini-crossbow, on a
very cold morning, I failed to nock an arrow properly. I missed the
loop attached to the bowstring and placed the nock below it. The result
was a shattered arrow and a derailed bowstring. I ended up having to
call you for instructions on how to re-string the bow string. I was
embarrassed to have caused the derailing, but you immediately put me at
ease and quietly, gently talked me through the necessary process. I
ended up considering the derailment as a positive event, as I am now
absolutely comfortable performing any task on this fine instrument,
including "sighting". I'm looking forward to soon use it to shoot a few
pesky wild hogs that have been tearing up a friends gardens.
If anyone in the Gainesville, Florida area would like to see this mini
crossbow and/or shoot it, I welcome them to come by. My phone number
is: 352 371-2333.
Thanks Jerry! I appreciate you and your marvellous creation!
Dustin and Daylon Shoot the new In-Line Vertical Crossbow with the Bullpup.
The other day I was setting up a rig for a gentleman out of San Antonio, Tx. The set up for this person was sort of different in that he is peralized from the chest down and will be drawing and shooting from a wheel chair. He has plenty of strength in his arms, but has limited balance in his chair. I felt that the shorter the draw length the easier it would be for him to hold and balance. After I shorten the draw length 2 more inches, I begain to use it as if I was in the same situation and had the same limitations as the man from Texas. This included sitting down in a chair a using only my arms for drawing a hooking the string loop on the string latch. It was really quite easy. I placed the shoulder stock into my lower chest, upper stomach, and pulled the string back. I started shooting some video of this when my boys showed up, and as most all 11 and 9 year old boys will do, they wanted to shoot it. I filmed them shooting their only four shots with the bow, it was pretty funny! Check out the "In-Line Vertical Crossbow Page" to see it.
