Vortex has arrived

My vortex came today but it was raining of course. I put it together and shot it several times in my shop at about ten yards. It was kinda weird at first pulling it back to cock it for the first time but I soon got over that feeling. I think it is supposed to rain the next couple of days. I can't wa...

Re: holy cow what a difference...

It is amazing how great the Blazers are. I used to shoot 4 inch vanes until I started using the Blazers. I fletch my own arrows and they stick really well also and are very durable. I can group out to 50 yards without any problems with field points and 3 blade Rages. That combination had put 4 deer ...

Thanks so much it should be in tomorrow then I can start tinkering with it a little and see if its likes my Rage 3 blades. I believe once I get started shooting with it some I will really like it.

Re: Got him ( finally ) 12 pointer down

That is an awesome deer congrats on a great shot. They usually don't grow that big in my home state of N.C. I love the body size of the deer in the northern states and also in Canada.

Re: First Crossbow

Thanks everyone, I live in N.C. we have plenty of deer but it seems the big deer are hard to find once the firearms season kicks in. I have 3 different tracts of land I hunt one is archery only because of being in the city limits. I killed a nice 10 pt with my rifle 2 years in a row. I have seen a l...

First Crossbow

I have shot 3D and hunted with compounds for about 25 years this will definitely be a change. I'm not hanging up the compound just yet because I love to comp...

Re: Long Shot

I am new to the crossbow forum but I have shot 3d for years and have shot out to 65 yards with a compound with confidence and a rangefinder. Congrats on your shot if you are confident and know your yardage and the deer isn't spooked I believe longer shots can be made in the right circumstances. Most...
