Very nice, Bro! I hope Karissa falls for the lure of deer hunting. After all, you and I produced girls and not boys. I will be watching for your hunting thread. Hopefully, I see " I know something" soon! Good luck to ya!
Getting my daughters xbow season ready

Thanks bro! Wish we lived closer so we could do this stuff with our girls together! I might be bringing them down for the youth season but I don't know yet...

Both are shooting very well. Curious to see how a group of arrows handle the broadheads. I can group field points very well, but arrows with broadheads is another story.

Dang some SWEET shooting!! Looking like she's ready! With all the choices in X-bows, let her decide which to shoot. One may have a different scope that she prefers over the other and weight may also be a factor. Man I can't wait to see the success pics!!!

I'm interested TOO Dick. I have 3 blade rages,Muzzys and slick tricks to work with.
Yes it is BGarrett, I owe my buddy Mike at work my sincere thanks for letting is borrow this great shooting machine!
This is not a plug for 10 Point as I've not shot any other xbow but my FIL's 10 year old Horton but if I were in the market for a xbow its a no brainer for me to buy a 10 Point fitted with the 10 point scope. Just sayin....
I screwed on a SS Mag 100 BH and put 3 arrow bolts center bull in a 2" group at 20 yards. I then took one of them back to 30 yards and shot one time and got this:
Then I put it away with a smile on my face....:smiley_bril:
My findings were: the 10 Point and SS Mag 100's are a deadly combination!

Good for you. Maybe I better scare the moths out of my stash and invest in a Ten Point. That is some serious accuracy compared to both my Hortons.
Dick, FWIW, my buddy got his off craigslist for around $200. Some girl whose boyfriend bought it for her so they could hunt together then a short time later they broke up and she didn't want to pursuit it any longer sold it to him after posting it a few minutes on CL. There are deals out there but he got lucky and got a great xbow and deal though.

Both of my crossbows came off of CL. I like the ten points, but the winder on all I've seen is not amdibexrious. It is made to wind with the right hand which just won't work for me. My Horton EZ Winder can be cranked from either side.

Looks good, Ric!
Dick, I'd love to have a look at your xbows, or get them to Milo. They are just like vertical bows in that they can go out of time/tune. If you can't get broadheads to fly well out of them, I bet it's a fixable problem. I can't count the number of xbow/arrow combinations I've squared away for guys around here that didn't think they would shoot a fixed head....they all will with a little correct lovin'.

I bet you are right. I've never shot a vertical bow so really know very little about tuning. I can shoot pretty well a broadhead on one arrow. I just can't get two arrows to shoot the same place.
Actually Horton screwed ya by running the business poorly. They were going to go out of business regardless.
Awesome outcome Ric.... Here's hoping a good season for you and the family.....
Mike why do you think ten point screwed over Horton owners????
