  1. Crossbow Target Shooting Room
    I shot my Ripper crossbow a September 7th and recorded the results to pick best hunting arrows of the dozen. Then recently last Monday I shot the same Ripper again at 50 yards. I choose four arrows from the test shoot I did a 5 weeks ago to see how they repeated to compare the POI of the two...

    It’s getting close to the time of the year I don’t shoot my crossbows as much because deer season is drawing near. By nature, I tend to be very hard on myself where shooting is concerned. I practice when I am able, and feel I do ok, but I’m curious if my expectations are realistic. For me to be...

    On Monday I shot my Ripper 415 crossbow for accuracy check 80 yards. I attached the results as shown in the order of the photos and shots with my setup/range shown also. The weather was great at mid 80 degrees with a 10-15 mph NE wind. The draw I shoot from was protected from the wind. Notice...

    If anyone has broadhead accuracy issues and has experimented with FOC (Front/forward of center) you might be interested in this. Most easily available crossbow arrows come in 20 inch lengths. My Barnett recurve crossbow (150 lbs) came with 18 inch arrows. I experimented with regular weight...

    Hi, I've been doing a lot of reading here but I'm new to posting. I just got a Centerpoint Sniper Elite 370 crossbow for this season. I know that's not crazy fast for a crossbow, but most of the fixed broadhead discussions I find online tend to be with vertical bows or lower speed crossbows. I...

    Hi, I just got a crossbow and when I got it the riser and limbs were already pre-strung. All I had to do was attach the riser to the main body(stock). I’m wanting to keep it discreetly packed away when transporting it. So my main question is “If I disconnect the riser from the stock and...

    As an occasional shooter, I often came across crossbow descriptions stating something like : "- Accurate up to 90 meters" This is a real-world example (copy&paste) from the mankung.com website for the XB53. I always wondered WTH that is supposed to mean. With a proper arrow, even cheap...
  8. Excalibur Crossbows
    My xbow is an Excalibur. Is the lever's purpose to hold an arrow in place in case of tilting? If I was to need to tilt my crossbow at say a 45 degree angle to take a shot, how would this affect my desired point of impact?

    After years of being the administrator of the Crossbow Nation website, I see a trend at the same time of year right before hunting season. This trend is a reoccurrence in threads being started by members complaining about their broadheads not flying or not grouping well when shot from their...

    The key to improving at most anything you do in life is practicing. It’s often said that practice makes perfect. That statement is not entirely true. It’s perfect practice that makes perfect.

    Lighted crossbow nocks can be a really cool accessory to add to your arrows. They allow hunters to follow their arrows in flight better, and also aid in helping to find arrows that have passed through animals buried into the floor of the woods. Even if you only intend on shooting your bow at...
