Not familiar with the 10i. My M4 lower has a rear attach point on the butt stock, and my Tac upper has threaded holes in the lower picatinney rail. I found that 10x32 swivel screws thread right in. Maybe yours has them also? I usually keep a Harris bipod attached and those have an attach...

I saw the carriage lift one time on my bow. I had just changed the string and cables, and was starting the timing, centering, and adjustment process. I hooked the string on the carriage in order to draw the string back a foot or so to give clearance to some adjustment I was making. As the...

Wow. Hate to hear of all the faults with the bow. Mine is 4 yrs old now. I've only had to replace the parts as previously stated, but that's it. I've even replaced the strings/cables twice only because I "felt" I should, and kept the old ones as spares. Can't even imagine how many shots...

Sorta the same here, except I went with 125 gr. only because I already had a large overstock of them and field points. It was only for convenience when I started out cause I couldn't wait to start shooting the thing. Then, the Optimizer got calibrated with those, etc. If I thought a lighter...

I just recently went through all this because I changed my strings this year before the season. So I completely had to reset the bow at every point and angle. Much credit here goes to jon.henry & Buzzard bait for all the help they gave me! Everything went off without a hitch due to their...

Sorry to hear that, and I woulda lost it too! To clarify: The thing I described above was my 2ed go round with this same problem. The first time it was exactly the same as yours. I didn't know yours was actually damaged. First time: I had trouble cranking, noticed the bolt had backed...

I've used my rifle scopes with no problem. I specifically use a Nightforce when playing around on the range. But for hunting, my state prohibits any magnification at all on any archery scope. That pretty much dictates a red dot. I never did find a 1X crosshair. Then I found that most all...

Yeah same happened to me. I saw the bolt before it was completely out and would cause a problem. I then, used a small amount of blue loctite. That was the first year I owned the bow and it's held for 2+ more years since with no problem. If you use loctite it's always the blue, never the red...

You're on the right track! Arrows are always needed, as well as a proper target to stop them. Personally, I won't hunt without the Optimizer anymore. I was lucky though and had several months to play with the bow without it just to find out & sort things myself. The only broadheads I...

Welcome aboard MoApe! Your story sounds EXACTLY like mine a few years ago. I had reconstructive back surgery. That ended my "Operator" days, so I took up extreme long range, large bore marksmanship instructing. Previously when I hunted I only used a bow, a vertical bow. I also did the hours...

It's great you experienced the effect of cant first hand in a training scenario. I consider the bubble level a must-have in long range shooting. I've been teaching extreme long range rifle marksmanship for a lot of years now, and early on we found the bubble a basic requirement. Midway...

Re: Lose the Biscuit and Improve Your TAC15/15I Shooting Performance - By Russell Bea Jon & Buzzard: Just a final word on my end results. I replaced the cables, strings, etc. also. I followed all of your advice to the letter. Installation and setup was a piece of cake following your...

Re: Lose the Biscuit and Improve Your TAC15/15I Shooting Performance - By Russell Bea I can't express enough, the appreciation I have for both you guys. The install guide, the extra pics and patient answers you both give is great. I too am prepping for the hunting season. These days I...

Re: Lose the Biscuit and Improve Your TAC15/15I Shooting Performance - By Russell Bea It seems that I do indeed have the correct, newest mount. As previously stated, this bow was among the first produced. It has no serial number. The mount measures .5". Ref. the pictures. I...

Re: Lose the Biscuit and Improve Your TAC15/15I Shooting Performance - By Russell Bea I have just received a new QAD mount from the LRH store here. Trying to install it today, I think that it will require a spacer of at least 1/8" minimum. I do have an old bow. It was one of the very first...
