The Official Status Update Thread - Part 109: Happy Thanksgiving INGO!!!

[Suprtek]

I had two big Styrofoam target blocks but I blew one up yesterday. I should have one left in the garage...have to check. You don't want to shoot the trees? (just kidding)

I can't use styrofoam as a target for this crossbow. It goes right through it! I just have a box stuffed with stacks of newspaper and cardboard. I have it packed pretty tight and it stops the arrows pretty well. Only thing is it makes the target kinda heavy.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

I'll grab my foam target or I'll stop and get one. I'll bring my compound bow, too.

If you have the space to do it safely and want an extra show, tape a water bottle of gasoline on top of your tannerite. This was less than a 1/2 pound with a water bottle of gas on top...

I'm afraid that would set the world on fire down here...but it sure looks fun!

I know what you mean! If you look closely in that video, you can see that the water actually appears to be on fire!

Both my kids have some experience with a real bow. All I ever managed to do with one is embarrass myself and lose arrows. My crossbow is not much different than shooting a rifle so I can manage that.

I've been known to lose an arrow or two.

What distance do you normally practice at?

check that. 20 yds is about my maximum.

Nephew and his buddy are coming out to use the range! A little warming up party

That's about where I practice too. You have to try this crossbow. You're sure to be able to get tight groups.

Well, I bought some scope rings for the old .22 Mossberg Palamino lever action that I have. Now, do I want to mount and zero it this afternoon??,

 

[Lebowski]

Uhh-oh. Went to the LGS, came home with a Remington 870.

Oh yeah, they had a deal on #8 birdhshot... so I bought a box (250rounds) for like $55.

So, Remington 870 + 250 shells was around $462 after tax. Not too bad.

 

[chezuki]

Half way there, only 8hrs to go!

 

[SEIndSAM]

It's all downhill from here Chez.

I threw an extra BCG in my bag in case you need to experiment with your AR Chez.

Thanks. I really hope it just runs. I double checked gas block alignment last night and made sure everything was cleaned and well lubed.
