good afternoon gang
got out to do some site in with the scope change out,
I'm shooting at a delta 3to4 " plastic hi density foam .
first bolt out of the 380 at 25 yards through the target hit garden
shed leaving a dent but folded the fletching lmao opps
there was plastic hair like fibers stuck to bolt (melt ima think)
now I'm wiping the bolts with pam sprayed into a paper towel.
and I put a bag filled with some old canvas behind the target .
bolts come out a lot easier and clean . quick wipe after each shot
hope some of folks find this helpful.
again thanks for the laughs and helping out the newbie ive learned
a ton from the gang in here from tech chit to safety you don't normally
consider when using an xbow take care all and be safe

Re: diablos got stuck
Yes Carbons are not target friendly . You have to use some sort of lube for them . They create a lot of friction heat going in . On some 3-d targets they practically weld themselves in there .

Buy a field point only crossbow target bag and you can just pull them out with your fingers.

Re: diablos got stuck
380's are not kind to targets at 25 yds or 30 or 35 yds. Neither are Micro 355's

Re: diablos got stuck
I have one that is quite old, don't really remember how long I've had it. Shot out the cover, bought a new cover and slipped the old inside. Still works great and stops the 380 at 20yrds. 2 fingers and can pull the arrows out. A have also found a couple of covers on sale, and just filled them with old clothes, tee shirts and such, works just as well.Riflemanz wrote:Buy a field point only crossbow target bag and you can just pull them out with your fingers.

Re: diablos got stuck
For 3D shooting I carry a scentless bar soap that I rub on the bolts before each shot it helps on removal from target.Doe Master wrote:Yes Carbons are not target friendly .
