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,

A word from Collin County Archery In Dallas
We just recently became a dealer for Hickory Creek and are actually in the process of developing a "Customized" VAC (vertical assault crossbow) model, which is simply a tweaked version of their current model. I will personally vouch for them. I was anti-crossbow for many years but the design of this thing is ingenious and it fits the needs of nearly everyone that would be in the crossbow market. On the model we are working on with 125lb limbs, we have already achieved faster speeds than the advertised 365fps using a standard arrow. The benefit to that being..... no specialty target needed, use a standard arrow and far higher kenetic energy than a standard carbon bolt out of a faster crossbow. After tuning we are getting 2" groups at 100yds, however we plan to push it out to 200yds to see how well it performs there. Once our customizations have been completed we will write a review, post specs & pics here on AT. In the mean time, the factory model is more than enough for even an expert marksman.
