Sighting in X-bow

[Buckrub]

Finally, FINALLY, I got my crossbow back from shop and sighted in. The factory replaced the trigger mechanism because the little ears were cutting the serving. That was warranty but they didn't replace the cut serving, so I had to take it locally and get that done. Put that off for the longest, and finally got around to it.

Sighted it in this past weekend finally.

I set the first pin (of 5) on the scope at 20 yards and messed with it till it was right on...........

I then stopped changing the scope and just moved the target until I was bullseye at X yards for each of the remaining 4 pins. When I finished, the five pins, or actually reticle lines......are:

1 20 yards
2 35 yards
3 50 yards
4 70 yards
5 80 yards

Now if I can only find a funky shaped wheelbarrow to haul this thing through the woods and up into the stand, I'm all set!!!

(If I ever kill a deer with this thing, I'll faint)..............

Loved my xbows since my shoulders went to C@#p. They are heavy but after I get to my stand I have a rail ALL the way around. I believe I like it a little better than vert bow hunting as it is closer to shooting a rifle and I loooooove that too Rusty
