). Been reading as much as possible and educating myself all week on this fine Excal forum and ready to make my first post...Initially, I only wanted a crossbow to turkey hunt with. Now, I'm really diggin' this thing! I'll probably be leaving the ol' Switchback in the camper some & taking this instead, so I can let the air out of a few LA public land whitetails and as many filthy hogs as I possibly can.
Plans for PESTILENCE include(but are not limited to):
-Immediately swapping the Tact-Zone scope for Nikon Bolt XR or Leupold Crossbones scope. (anyone want to trade or buy it?)
-Changing the stock string to a custom flemish string.
-Getting 1/2 dozen Gold Tip Ballistic Pro bolts (8.5gr/in)which I've configured for overall weight of roughly 426gr. & about 19.8% FOC. Unfortunately, not much info out there about these shafts, but I'm a lifelong GT shooter so I'll give em a shot.
-Broadheads will likely be 125gr. xbow Reapers or xbow Spitfires (chisel tips) with dental bands for added insurance.
-Going to fletch my shafts with Fusion 2.1 vanes and AZ E-Z fletch bolt jig.
-On the fence about getting either the Luminok or the Ignitor flat nocks.
Did I miss anything??? lol. Glad to be here & I welcome any other ideas or suggestions.
Nikon good scope but its not too grand on higher speed model crossbows. A match fer yer 405 would be the Zeiss XB75. Yup i have lot of Stock in Zeiss need to really push them, 
I seldom hunt wid rifles n anything bigger than a 6.5x55 is wastin powder,
