Re: Phoenix Slow Mo
You did a great job on the follow through. 
Did you notice how long the retainer arm kept vibrating? It kept going long after everything else had stopped.
Nice video. Thanks for the post.

Re: Phoenix Slow Mo
Welcome to the forum!
That was a really neat video, thanks.
So, are you folks in the UK able to hunt with your CBs? I think I've seen videos on Youtube of UK folks hunting squirrels, small birds and such with their air rifles and was wondering if you could do the same with your Phoenix.
Take care...

Re: Phoenix Slow Mo
I sure am glad I have a STS on my Exocet. That string hit the riser 3 times HARD.

Re: Phoenix Slow Mo
I noticed that too holy the string really bounces around. Would be neat to see how much difference a STS would make.Kelley wrote:I sure am glad I have a STS on my Exocet. That string hit the riser 3 times HARD.

Re: Phoenix Slow Mo
I'm happy to video it if I can get my hands on one
Re: Phoenix Slow Mo
Exactly what I thought. would be nice to see with an STS.
Did you have to register the CB? Import taxes, ID or anything.?
Just listing to CBC talking about the gun registry vote next week.
Have fun!!
If you want to come to Canada, We can take you out.

Re: Phoenix Slow Mo
Only requirement to buy a crossbow is being 18+ no registration required, I bought the bow from a German dealer (http://www.aiacrossbow.com/) but no takes or import duty as its a sale within the european union.

I used a casio EXF1 camera to shoot the video at 1200fps and then slowed it down with software to emulate being shot at 2400fps.
