First I would have to thank two people for this bow and setup.  First is to verne for telling us all about that phenomanal deal at Cabelas.  I got this bow shipped to Va. from Tx with the package for $390 dollars with my military discount and it being int he bargain cave.  I added the XB30 scope, AcuDraw50, String Suppressors making the total $670 dollars.  Same price as the original package.

Second is to moon for reading all his threads on the 350 and seeing him put the AcuDraw systems on his.  I have to say that the AcuDraw50 is an awesome addition to this bow and it makes cocking it a piece of cake.  I used the magnets that came with the kit and the included template and took about 1 hour to install it.  Oh by the way I think the new black limbs are awesome.

Thanks guys, I am excited about this thing.  I am buying some land in Texas and am ready to shoot a monster with it.  I love having the Acudraw 50 on the bow.  I will use it but the wife has shown an interest in the crossbow and wants to use it so this will make cocking the bow a better experience for her.  You can get them online for 56 bucks right now so that is a killer deal.

I got one of these thanks to Verne as well!
Been having fun and taking at least a few shots every day, I'm thinking about the xb30 for mine also- please let me know what you think. These were my first 3 bolts at 30 yards- thanks to the guys that mentioned not to shoot all 3 at the same spot!

I can't post the link.  Google search Acudraw 50 and then click on the shopping and it should show up.

Man, I'm really glad a few guys on here took advantage of that deal at Cabela's.  Kinda makes me feel like I paid something for a lot of the advice I've gotten from this site so far.  Now I gotta get my hands on one of those accudraws before deer season.  Ditto on the whole "shooting the same spot" thing.  Can't wait to get it out somewhere I can shoot to 50 + yards.  Maybe then the groups will open up enough to shoot at the same spot.

If u are serious about one, Gander Mt. has them on sale for $49.99. The only thing is u will have to pull the store locator & start calling to see who has them. I called about 15 stores & found 3 of them. U have to go to your local store & buy a gift card & then call them & order it & ship to your house.
I called every Ohio store on the list & they are all sold out.

I ordered one of the accudraw 52 for my sz380.  Hopefully it will work on it.  It was for and wicked ridge instead of a ten point like the accudraw 50.  I got mine for 56 from bigboyztoystore.com

I bought the 350 and I will go with that Accudraw50 for mine to. I hope finding a good price in Quebec Canada. Thanks to Moon for all good suggestions.
