Welcome Derrick!

Please don't mistake awe for knuckle draggery!

I consider myself a bit of a tweaker but I never would have even thought of around corner xbow shooting or 100yd shooting. That's wicked! I can't wait to see pics of your set ups.

I was inspred about a year ago while researching tournament crossbow shooting. That's where I found out about achieving more accuracy and 100yd distances... You have to raise the scope!

As far as around corners... Guess it depends on what you're targeting, regarding a requirement or need!

Derrick - just curious, where are you from? US, Canada, elsewhere?

Also, I'm totally intrigued by the artwork in your avatar - is there a story behind it?

OK, apparently it was me that was the knuckle dragger!
I apologize for the comments Derrick. I guess what you do not know and it was unfair in me not letting you aware of this is that I am the one with a problem but I am not the only one! (TerryM!). As I type this my wife is harassing me for apparently owning 50 bows! The Biach has no idea! I don't have that many! She is sadly mistaken, it is far less than that. I guess you found that offensive but I really did not want it to be so. As far as the other guys they were just being themselves, we are pretty much like a bunch of cousins that get together and poke and laugh at each other. I hope you don't go away because it appears as if you have much to share as we all do as well. Again Derrick I apologize. Really, though I don't think it is a problem but my wife is frowning at me right now!

I don't think it is his bow Scott, he said it inspired him, not that he owned it.

By all means, welcome to the forum. I just saw that bow that inspired you yesterday on Matthias's site in Italy while searching for info on the Wolfzeit mount, that's one of his creations I believe?
Yes! I believe that was the name associated with the image! As I said, I was Inspired a year ago.

There were many other impressive MODZ out there but this was the look that appealed to me the most! It took a while to put my first one together... Canada is not Tactical Parts Friendly!
