I just wanted to let you know, I received your Vertical Crossbow yesterday evening. I only got to shoot it a few times before dark. The arrows weighed 412 grains and went 347 fps. This is about 10 fps faster than my Barnett Quad 400 and half as loud. And, it is much more pleasant to shoot. When the quad 400 goes off, it is just violent. The Vertical Crossbow is more like shooting a fast bow. One out of nine arrows went through a new Rinehart 16" target by an inch at 20 yards. The other arrows were within an inch of going through. No more shooting at 20 yards.
Everything looks good and seems to be working correctly.
Thank you,
Richard L
Light, powerful, fast, precision instrument
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!
