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!
Very impressive video of shooting long distances with lighted nocks
Here is a link to a video of some long distance shooting with the In-Line Vertical Crossbow. Watch how little the arrow drops and listen how quiet the bow is. This is being shot with a scope at almost dark. Here are four shots, as you can tell by the fadeing day light that the shots are in a short time. This means no time for "try until you get right" stuff.
It is kind of dark but I hope you enjoy it,
Jerry
