And some mechanical heads may pre-deploy out of certain bows so it's best to try it before you hunt with it. You may find that finding a broadhead that will shoot accurately for you is a little more difficult than with your vertical bow. Some practice and broadhead testing and you're good to go. I've never had to use the lighted crosshairs but when testing the green on the lowest setting seems the best for me. Once you've set the scope up the sub-crosshairs will be right on at the yardages indicated. The Hawke XB-1 scope you got is in my opinion excellent and accurate to way beyond what you're going to need to for hunting. Keep an eye on things for a bit to make sure everything is settling in correctly. Just keep doing what you, and she, are doing. I think you're right on already and ahead of the average new xbow shooter. Again, any helpful tips or tricks would be great. She currently uses a Barnett quad 300 (TERRIBLE BOW) and has harvested several deer over the past few years out to 50 yards with that so I do have high hopes for this bow to be capable to 50 yards. We are hoping to be able to hunt deer out to about 50 yards (on a stable rest of course). I know lighted nocks can affect arrow flight so we will of course retest and re-sight in using them. I have read that the mission bolts aren't the greatest but I will selectively sort out at least 3 of the best grouping ones and she will use those for hunting with the lighted nocks. She got an additional half dozen bolts (totaling 9) with 3 lighted nocks and a bolt case for free. Is there any information we need to know about these mission crossbows? She already purchased the package so please don't comment on (throw away the bolts or scope it came with). Anyways, she will only be using this bow for deer/turkey hunting. It was the best fitting crossbow which she could easily draw (the only other bow she liked as far as fit goes, was the tenpoint ultralight but she couldn't draw it back without the crank system and she did not like how loud and slow the acudraw crank was). My wife just purchased a brand new Mission Dagger crossbow Pro Package. I am a compound bow shooter and I do know the overall fundamentals of how to properly tune my compound bows. You may have to shoot a few arrows into it and adjust the nuts accordingly.I know very little about crossbows. You want to compress it enough to prevent it from moving at all, but not enough that it's hard to remove your arrows. Use your spanner wrench to tighten down the nuts on each rod, doing a little bit on each rod, then moving to the next one, until you have compressed the foam down several inches, which you can see by looking at the marks on the threaded rods. Now, take the locking pliers and lock them on to the threaded rod to prevent it from spinning, as seen in the third image. Once you've screwed the nuts all the way down (pull up on them once you think you're done just to be sure, they might lift up another inch or two), use a sharpie to make a mark to show how far down the nuts are on the threaded rods. If you use a hacksaw, it will take you longer to make the cuts than it would have to just screw the nuts all the way down. It is very hard to get a clean enough cut through threaded rod that it doesn't mess up the threads and make it impossible to get the nut to go on, especially using a grinder. I do not recommend cutting the extra few feet of the threaded rods off to make it easier, because it can really screw things up. Now you have to screw the nuts onto the threaded rods. We're almost done, but this step is rather tedious and time-consuming, so be prepared. Locking pliers (they don't have to be locking, but it makes things easier).3/8" spanner wrench (or adjustable spanner).4 - 4' lengths of 3/8" coarse threaded rod (you may have to buy them in 6' lengths).Power drill (preferably corded, you need one with a fair amount of power). ![]() 3" Exterior wood screws (I prefer star heads, and self-drilling tips for their tendency to not strip, and for the time you save by not having to drill pilot holes).Check craigslist to find them cheap, if you buy this many new, you'll spend hundreds of dollars, but people sell them all the time there for like $25. 24" square foam floor mats (the kind that look like giant puzzle pieces), the more the better, although you should have at least a 16" stack, which will make a 2'x2' target, if you want 2'x3', you need about a 20" stack.
