I was in a discount store today (Essex) and got lucky I suppose, I bought a new Jackal "RTH" kit in box for $150! (Back in Feb I caught a Diamond Infinite Edge kit behind the counter for $210. I gave it to my youngest son for his 14th birthday a couple of weeks ago and he's already drilling bullseyes with it at 15-20yds and he can't wait for this fall!) I figured WTH, it's worth that. I guess I'm a bit of a "10pt snob" as I LOVE my trusty ol Titan TL-4 but for $150 I figured it's worth having this one in the equipment closet for my boys if they want to use it one weekend or even a few of my buddies that hunt with me on occasion. I suppose I'd carry it in the woods if something were to suddenly happen to my 10pt one day and I couldn't get it fixed that right then.

I put it all together tonight and it all fit and works fine including the 3dot red/green scope. But I haven't shot it yet, hope to fling a few bolts out of it tomorrow. It's certainly alot lighter and more compact than my ol Titan but its obviously not built like the TP either. I see these things on sale for $350-$400 and I wouldn't pay that much for it but at this price plus a 30day $ back policy at the store if I don't like it, what's not to like?

Anybody got or had a Jackal? The box say 315fps, what can I realistically expect it to throw 20" carbon bolts with 100grn broadheads? Opines?
