Thanks fellas!
About a 2 year old. We ate some tonight, tender as filet mignon!
With the price of meat at the stores, I'm gonna try to take 5 or 6 more this season.
Popped the virginity on the mag 340 Friday evening on some freezer meat. Last 4 minutes of light on the last day of the regular archery season. Double lung shot at 33 yards. She only made it 29 yards.
Now the bow goes back on the wall & out comes the rifle for Saturday rifle opener!
Yes, SPAM & pepperoni pizza. Practicing apocalypse recipes for when the shlt hits lol. Your portion I left to share was confiscated by a 110lb German Shepherd, I wasn't gonna die gettin between her & that pizza š¤£
Not getting the opportunity to burn brass groundhog hunting much this year. So I've been sharpening my archery skills a bit. Took the new crossbow to the rifle range this evening to see the accuracy potential from a bench. Used an old Primos rifle rest I never liked for a rifle & took some 2 shot groups with factory 250gr Quill bolts with the Excalibur 150gr broadheads.

Well, it comes at a price. My older Excalibur Equinox is shooting 350fps with a 400 grain setup using 36" limbs. I believe only 170lb draw weight. This little bugger has a foot narrower limbs but they are thicker & wider with a draw weight of 270lb! The shorter draw length makes it not too incredibly difficult.
Thanks!
Yeah, I knew not to aim at the same spot but ..... figured I was safe at 50yds lol.
16.5 inch 250 grain bolt with 150 grain heads- 400 gr total. 340 fps
