Larry Check out this Website and forum for info on Encore accuracy issues www.dandtcustomgunworks.comI was having a lot of trouble getting consistant groups with mine and sent it to David to have the QLA cut off and recrowned. I also had the barrel shortened 8" Check out my Website for the results. www.hardwickshideout.comlook under hunting and then Encore Project. Hope this helps Bob

I shot a deer quartering to me at about 30 yards. The arrow went in just in front of the near shoulder and busted through the off shoulder. It took me forever to find the arrow in the leaves. I was using a slick trick broadhead and it looked like a slug had hit that deer going in and out. I shot a turkey last year with the same setup under 20 yards and it passed through both hips and buried in a pine tree that was a couple feet behind him. I got the arrow back but could not get the broadhead out. The tom ran about 10 yards and laid down. It is the only turkey I have ever kill that did not start moving when you stepped on its neck and I have been hunting turkeys going on 17 years.

I've got a Tenpoint and love it. I am also thinking and almost have approval to get the new Curve. As long as I can sell my QX-4. I can't say anything bad about the Excal since I have never shot one but I have never heard anything bad about the either.

I have decided to try 3D with my Tenpoint Has anyone else tried it with a QX-4 or any other Xbow
My plan is to switch to aluminum bolts a couple inches longer to slow it down to meet the 300 fps max speed. the Aluminum will also make it easier to repair or modify bolts to fit my needs.
One question I have is will I be allowed to use a Steddy Eddy on the range. I have looked at the IBO regs and cannot find anything that wouldn't allow it.
Any other suggestions or comments would be helpful.
Thanks Bob

I think it adds enough challenge to make it worthwhile. If it was easy everybody would be doing it.

I took this one Wed with my Tenpoint Xbow I pretty well started hunting the first 1 1/2 weeks of season with the compound several years ago. I have now taken 2 with a compound and after back surgery in 1997 I quit with the bow and just picked up the crossbow in 2003 this is the second I have taken with it now. Bob
