Default WOW!

i have been shooting my new horton hunter ultra sl..

at 10 yds in my basement i put 4 arrows in the SAME HOLE..

i had to call a few crossbow friends and tell them that one..

question, i noticed that the left side of arrows are being worn or scraped and the channel arrow rides in is shiny all way to front on the LEFT also..

right side is not touched and still has the black finish on it..

is this normal?

Default RE: WOW!

Cant remember which one it is but the mark is coming from the off set or helical in you vanes, pushing your arrow to the left side as it goes down the barrel.

Is what normal?? Putting 4 in same hole at 10 yds? Calling your buddies? Arrow wear?? Now, that's normal, lol.
