And elk are bigger critters!

My wildest (hunting) daydream is that my sons and I are on the ridge and an elk walks out and all 3 of us send lighted luminoks flying at the elk. It would be like 4th of July!

Heck Yeah

I know. I’m having a great time. Took the bow for a hike through the woods today looking for the bear. Didn’t see him. (Did a few times a week last fall with a rifle and never saw him.). My best chance, I think, is to catch him doing his usual raid on my place.

I am having so much fun with this new scope. I have complete confidence in it which makes shooting so much more enjoyable. (If I’m off, I know it’s just me, not the scope.) I wanted to get it sighted in like I have my sons’ bows for hunting (with a 30 yard zero—so we can pretty much use the crosshai...

Maybe the labradoodle (named Teddy) will protect my goats and chickens from the bear and I won’t have to shoot him?? Probably not. I’ll try to shoot him. Still haven’t seen sign of him or caught him on the game cam. I have this weekend off and can do a little hunting.

I hardly had time to shoot tonight and was so looking forward to doing so. Sad that I was very frustrated doing family activities when all I wanted to do was shoot my bow with the new scope. I was only able to take 4 shots. My far fenceline is right at 100 paces from my target. Hit the target each t...

So I got the Nikon and all I can say is WOW! However, as I took the Dead Zone off the bow, I noticed the eyepiece lens was loose and rattled as I shook the scope. This week, I had noticed that a small rubber gasket had fallen half out of place on the eyepiece lens. I shoved it back in place with my ...

Suffice to say that I’ve been having trouble with Dead Zone scopes. So.... I bought a Nikon P3 Crossbow scope. I am a very positive person so will not elaborate on my troubles with the Dead Zone. (By the way, is the eyepiece lens supposed to rattle audibly?— noticed that as I took the Dead Zone off ...

You’re right. I’ll stop worrying about it and when the Nikon arrives on Friday, I’ll enjoy it.

I’m looking forward to the Nikon but the Dead Zone is shooting quite decent (I shoot everyday). Keep thinking about how I had to slow down my speed dial for half a day while my 20 yard zero was still dead on. (Disclaimer, this is a crazy idea.) That day, the weather was changing drastically. (Ok, he...

I had the same thought as you after i got the new limbs. Wondered if Dawn slipped me some "super duper Assasin limbs". My speed dial jumped up 20 fps with the new limbs. I only used a chronograph (at the local bow shop) after I got my forward riser and shot 326.

I know I will be happy with it. The Nikon is on its way. Regarding the “zero and hold”, I want to try that this summer and see how my instincts are for holding above the target. Kind of like using a vertical bow without sights. It will be fun. At reasonable hunting distances, you don't need to hold...

Do you know if you ordered an older discontinued bolt or the new prostaff crossbow? I was just wondering if there was much difference I looked a little (not hard) for the older "Bolt" but couldn't find one. Ordered the Prostaff which i presume is the same thing. Got medium leopold rings f...

Boy, now that I figured some of this out, I almost want to cancel my order on the Nikon and just use low (clear) power for my 20 yard bear shot. (Scope holds zero fine.) I know I would love the Nikon. But, if I have the same scope sighted in the same as my sons and I’m coaching them through a shot a...

The Dead Zone is blurry now, just as it was before. Now I know why it was clear for a day. My scope is clear at very low power and it gets blurry as I move it up. (It’s clear at 300 and blurry at 330 (and really blurry at 400).). Both the boys Dead Zones are that way too. (Their bows shoot around 30...
