nope did not miss anything, I was just stating that each and every crossbow made has an certain arrow weight that was used to get that stated advertised speed from for there ad's....plain and simple, you just need to use THAT arrow weight stated for YOUR xbow and shoot it to see if the speed for your xbow is matching what the company stated it is :wink: ....

Best group at 100' is .28", worst group was .86" through 4 different factory ammo's(before i started reloading). Made be buy a another TIkka for my daughter in .243 with similar results, she averages right around .6"
SC, I've got one in 22-250 and it's a tack driving machine. The factory trigger was so good that it's the only rifle I own without a custom trigger. It's a coyote killing machine.
