Hey Don,

It's shooting nice tight little patterns at 75 yards. I don't have a scope on it so everything outside of 6 inches is me making a bad shot. I know some guys use scopes on their slug barrels but most of my hunting will be in the woods and not an open area. I plan on shooting a box of 5 today from a bench to see how tight of a pattern I can get. Those tru balls have one heck of a kick to them but seem to be pretty consistant.

I have a question I bet you can answer. I do have 85 grain Slick Tricks. The bolts I have are Easton Carbon Power "C2". My cross bow is a Horton 175 and shoots 305fps. What total weight should I be trying to match up with it. I don't have a digital scale to weigh the bolt and it doesn't say on the bolt how much it weighs. I can call the Pro Shop that sold me the bolts and get the weight " they have digital scales there".

My only concern with the 85 grain Slick Tricks is that they are too light to be safe for the bows fps.
