Haven't done anything today except to read the owners manual, wax the string, and lube the rail. Probably won't get to shoot until next week and a I may wait a bit longer and do a "double dip" as I have a new-to-me rifle coming in soon, a Marlin 336 in .35 Rem. Needless to say I am excited to get to the farm and poke some holes in some targets.

thanks again
Congrats on purchase! How is it going? Any good shots to share with us?
They're fantastic crossbows. Great starter bows and for seasoned hunters - almost bought one myself for the wife but ended up getting a screaming deal on a Barnett Whitetail Hunter.
Also, not sure if the Invader model comes with silencers, but you'll likely want them.
