Ding! Ding! Looks like a winner!! those nicks in your nocks might cause some problems if you haven't filed the burrs off, can't see them well enough to tell, so don't be offended, lol. Good Job! What was the problem?

I think its just me.. Sometimes I shoot a great group and other times its a little wider open.. It must just be the shooter.. the man Squeezing the trigger and NOT squeezing the trigger..

Looking good! I also noticed you have two arrows with dings in them on the nocks, once you get good like that you need to start using separate aiming points our you will be spending the bucks on arrows. Also I don't remember if you told your story or not, but what got you into the CB stuff? You been posting since 2003 so I assume you have been hunting with a regular bow until now. Just curious what your story is and how you got into the CB world? Again, good job!

I decided that my wife and I are gonna use a crossbow this year for rifle season, mainly her, instead of a rifle. I still Bowhunt but in Michigan they passed a law that allows the use of a crossbow during the Regular Firearm deer season..

So.. Thats the reason..

And I really enjoy it.. I wish they would make a season for CB's besides rifle season..

I took a very close look at that big big offset? That may cause some arrow channel hitting on both sides! Plus it has a very high profile vanes. Nice group, keep it up

I think you should back off on the offset of your helical a bit. Just an opinion but I've been screwing around with the offset of a helical and it makes no difference in accuracy that I've seen. I am sure you will loose speed at longer distances.
