Added a new xbow to the stable:

Decided to upgrade from the supplied scope in the package to the new Hawke MAP 1.5-5x32 scope:

Has a speed selector ring which works great for switching arrows unlike the fixed scopes:

Nice reticle:

It didn't do great with some of the lighter arrow combos I tried, but it really liked the heavier CE CBs with 125 FTs.  They weigh 451gns and clock 355, so they should have mad penetration.

40yd group:

Brought it back to 20 to fine tune zero for that arrow, then back to 40 to check the reticle:

I believe it will work. Loving the light weight, compact size, and great trigger. looking fwd to slamming a tom next year and some deer this fall.

Have a good one,

Those are nice x-bows, it should work well if you bow hunt also.
