[QUOTE="schneep, post: 565150, member: 28894"] Ok, I read through all the posts on the TAX 15. I bought one from a local dealer (68 miles away) I have also been buying items and arrows from Len. I am very pleased so far but have a couple questions/comments 1. When cranking to cock, at about 3/4 of the way, I hear and see a slight cracking noise. This has not effected accuracy The dealer, says this is normal. 2. When at full draw, I was told to hold slight tension on the handle and make sure the lift lever could be moved up and down slightly. In other words, I shouldn't just crank back and let the pin drop into position. 3. I have 250-350 shots through it and yes, I will need to replace the bumpers after the hunting season. I consider this minor maintenance. Also instructed to apply rail lube, which I do. 4. Everything is tight on this thing and I feel confident out to 60 yards, which for an old fart like me is ok. Most shots where I hunt will be 30-50 yards. 5. I have tried the Phatheads and have had issues. After more reading and other sources I have switched to the new Grim Reaper and love the results, so will be using then for this season, my first with a crossbow. 6. Looking to get the fletching jig and the drop away rest if someone can point me in the right direction on the rest, and most likely the trigger up-grade. I know it's a long post, and most things are items you more experienced guys have known for a long time, but I haven't shot a bow of any kind for over 30 years, and actually wasn't into bow hunting. But I can use this in Michigan now and next year in Wisconsin when I hit 65. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
