Default Gotta Love this Xbow "THING"

All of the things I needed to go shoot my new Vixen came this afternoon. Did not have a whole lot of time but got it sighted in close for the wind we were having here this afternoon. Put a 1.5X4.5 shotgun scope (with circled dot)on it. Sighted in at 20 yds and with the power set on 4.5 the bottom of circle and crosshairseems to beprefect for 30yds. The last two shots just before darkat 30 yds were about 1/2" low of the nail holding the business card I was shooting at and the 2 holes where touching, luckly I only shot one arrow at a time. Not bad for someone who has never had a Xbow in hand before now (If I may toot my own horn) Need to get my broadheads and see if it will do the same with them. If so I think I may be ready to go hunting!! Think I may kind of like this crossbow hunting !!!
