Has anyone turned up the magnification on the Accushot at the longer ranges? I was wondering what effect that would have on point of aim. For example, if you use the fourth mil-dot down (from the crosshairs) at 100 yards with the scope at 3x, what would happen if you turned the scope up to 9x...

I'm not sure how mechanicals would deal with the extreme forces involved (example: the plastic woven material that covers the 400fps Bone Collector target gets partially melted onto the arrows, I'm guessing it's from the heat of friction from stopping those high-speed arrows!). I'm going with...

I don't have any specific recommendations for you since I use the Accushot that Len and PSE recommend. However, I would advise that you look for something that has a number of mil-dots or cross-hairs, as you need a large number of aiming points once you get out there a wayz. You might even...

Let me guess, one hole in the front and another exactly in line with that one out the back... thanks for the info, at $15 per arrow I think I'll pay to have the 400fps target shipped in! I've settled on a quiver and am working out a home-made mount as I can't find anything with a picatinny...

I totally agree. Even 250 or 200 fps is still plenty to take down an elk (a lot of people hunt with recurves/long bows/old compounds that have a 'muzzle' velocity of less than 200 fps. I have a friend who has a short draw length (24 inches) and shoots 55lbs draw weight with a new 2010 Diamond...

velocity at 100+ yard ranges Len (or others), did you ever get your chrono to work at 100 yards on the TAC 15? I've seen some postings on other forums saying that the arrow is traveling very slowly at those ranges such that it doesn't have enough kinetic energy to make a clean kill. No one...

I finally have my TAC15 in hand; still waiting on the AR lower though... Until that arrives, I've been looking at accessories. The three arrows that come with the TAC aren't enough, so purchasing at least 6 more is a given. Thanks Len for the recommendation of the Phat Head broadheads...

Thanks J E Custom and Len. Len, that pack looks super long which won't work while on horseback -- nothing can hang down below your lower back and anything that sticks up above your shoulders catches branches and is dangerous (it can lodge on a tree branch and pull you out of the saddle)...

Great info on the TAC here! But I have a question: anyone have experience removing the bow from the TACs stock after sight-in, packing around the components, and then reattaching? I'd like to know what affect that has on point of impact. (If no one has tried it, anyone up for the challenge?) My...
