It is so much fun to watch through the scope as the arrows go "thunk" into the target.

I shot this group mostly with just one arrow that I had sorted for. So the 2 holes on the left were the first, then I adjusted windage on the scope and continued shooting the group.

Did I mention that I love this crossbow? gun)

Did I mention that I am now a PSE TAC 15 crossbow dealer? :):):)

Free - 6 arrows with the purchase of a TAC series crossbow at the LRH Gear Shop

Great shooting Len. How fast is the TAC 15 and what grain field tips are you shooting ?

400 fps, 85 grain tip. Total weight is 425 grains. I'll be using 100 grain broadheads.
 
I wonder what kind of speeds its going at out that far? Are you planning to shoot them through a chrony when you start reaching out that far? It would be interesting to see how much kenetic energy its got...
 
Len nice shooting. How are you liking the jewel trigger?

I agree with Matt shoot it thru the crony at 100 yards!
 
I will shoot it through a chrony when I get a little further along. I expect the 100 ys speed to be in the range of 330 or so. Kinetic energy will not be an issue. I think it is over rated as a means of defining arrow killing power anyway. It takes so little to push a sharp blade through an animal.

Jim, the trigger is great. I was getting all those wonderful groups with the original factory trigger, too, at the yardages I was shooting at. It's just that I am so used to a 2 pound or so pull weight that I thought I better stick with that for consistency throughout my archery and rifle hunting season. And the PSE guys get the same 100 yard groups as I just got with the factory trigger.

Len. Great shooting!!!!!

I noticed that you refer to your cross bow as a TAC 15 I Is that correct or do you have the one
that uses the AR 15 lower (TAC 15).

just curious to see what you though about the I model is that was the one you had.

The one I ordered was the TAC 15 because I had a lower with a custom trigger.

OOOOkay, help me out here guys, I might be missing something. The picture I am looking at looks like a group of six with the arrow still in the far right hole. That group looks to be about 5.5 to 6 inches. where is the sub two inch group?
 
Here you go: :)
I shot this group mostly with just one arrow that I had sorted for. So the 2 holes on the left were the first, then I adjusted windage on the scope and continued shooting the group.

So you must mentally superimpose the 2 holes on the left over the 4 holes on the right. I shot one arrow at a time, walked down to the target, retrieved the arrow, went 100 yards back to my bow, shot the next shot, etc.

Really tiring to do it that way! lightbulb

What am I missing here. I thought the tac 15 is only sold as a upper and the AR Lower you have to buy seperate.
