I finally got my bow today. :) All assemblied, including my munch mount (thanks Terry). Looks and feels great, BUT my six shooter target didn't come. Have to wait to shoot it. What other target can I use for FP and BH? Quick question... My string rides behind the line toward me. I think it is supposed to be between the lines? It sits about a 3/4 inch behind the S5 Will it ride forward after shooting awhile? I didn't read anything about it in the manual. I'll have to look around here for it Anyway, my Beast is ready to go.

Almost all strings are short of the brace lines when they're 1st put on. Make sure you have about 3 twists in yer string before shooting it. I use a Morrel crossbow yellow jacket bag target fer field pts & Rhinehart 18-1 fer BH's

Yeah, what vixenmaster said about the string. :wink: As you shoot it a little, the string should stretch out just a tad and be in between the marks. If it doesn't, get a stringer (you need one anyway), take one end of the string off and take a few twists out of it (make sure you've got at least 3 though).

If you've got a feed sack and a bunch of old clothes/rags, you can make a target for field points. Layer'em in there pretty tight and it'll work. :wink:
