Heavy bolt build on affordable crossbow

[Big_Holla]

Weird, looks just like my set up

Pink fletchings too?!?

Not impressed over the dollar a piece heads. No resharpening these guys.

Zero deflection though. And you can see that they buried in the ground.

Deer was dead inside 40 yards...but I really think for the money you should get more than one shot.

Those were the DRTs?

Bump for anyone might wanting more information. I put my first efforts in building something that'll knock down a t-rex. Michael was using factory arrows but a better scope. Same bow, different set ups. Side by side I was impressed how much the heavy arrows quieted it down.

I like the set up with factory arrows. Think it definitely made yours a little more quiet. I bought the killer instinct speed ring scope and also very pleased with it and the clarity of it. Using the g5 striker Montec fixed blade. Shooting that deer this weekend I had solid straight pass through and buried in the ground deer left an awesome blood trail as well. For a cheap fast hard hitting crossbow I’d recommend it

Hell, I think I got a sponsorship coming!

I'm getting a repeat fetching glue failure/damage. Always on the fetching the goes in the rail. I bought a new set and will keep an eye out for it on this set. Just posting in case anyone else is seeing this happen with factory set up.

I can also say that if you miss and can't find your arrow, its because it went tunnel bunker busting. I should taken a picture but was still on a rush. Buried to the nock! Jon spotted it somehow.

Thinking about a 405 for the kids this season.

Thinking about a 405 for the kids this season.

That is what I bought last year. My 11 year old son killed his buck with it last year from a treestand. I killed my buck with it later that week.

It’s not necessarily a heavy build but I finally found an arrow/broadhead my xbow likes. I had OK luck with the Tenpoint Pro Elite 400s but I was still getting fliers. I looked at a bunch of different arrows and finally settled on the X-Bolts by Victory archery (picked em up for $64/dozen on eBay). They’re 325 gr without a head, .003 straightness, spine aligned, and come with a 110 gr brass insert. I paired it with 100 gr Muzzy 3 blade for a total weight of 425 gr at 17.5% FOC. After tweaking my scope these things are flying like darts. At just under $12 apiece with broadhead, to say I’m pleased would be an understatement.

Search here. I can look at the box when I get home if it isn't in here. Lol
