A crossbow is just like a gun right? NOT! Help lol
OK,
Took my new to me xbow out to sight it in today...success and failures all over the place, more of the latter though. Couple obvious ones, first off...
I need an arrow in the bow to turn the safety off, but I am now at home playing with my draw handle, and I want to uncock the bow...I have no release arrow, how do I do it? Stick arrow in, then turn off safety and remove arrow?
Second, the scope that comes with the barrett 400 is a barrett scope...and a big piece of junk. I am maxed out in height and still shooting 2" low at 15 yards...how do I resolve this? Also I noticed when I turn the focus knob at the front eye piece, I can see the crosshairs move with it! So its not even perfectly parallel to the second lens or crosshairs? That can't be good. Is there a possibility that regarding the four lines in the scope, the top one isn't for 20 yards and maybe for 10 yards or something? I would of guessed 20, 40, 60, 80, not that I would shoot 60 or 80...
So I went out, lost my first 3 arrows in 4 shots (it was dark, using headlights to illuminate the target...they all went under the target and I couldn't find them after the fact...will return in the daylight. Anyway, I learned that if I have no idea how to use the draw handles, that it will in fact latch onto my draw handle string not the bow string lol...now I realize why there were so long and shortening them was a mistake lol!...another knot and it was repaired though. I obviously have a lot to learn, but am already enjoying myself playing with it.
Thanks in advance
