    Yesterday I went to our neighbor's to let his twin boys shoot our crossbow. While talking, I remembered a picture or two that I had taken many moons ago so when I got home I sent it to him. Here it is. Well, 2 of them. Believe me, that was tough to get pulled out! I thought it was a decent shot but learned quickly when shooting a crossbow, never aim at the same spot twice... Arrows are expensive.

    Looks like both shots were high and to the right. Better get it tuned in a little!:D

    Does it not use knocks of the back of the arrow? That one that did the splitting doesn't have one?

    Flat nocks. Most crossbows will use a moon nock but the excalibur bows just use the flat ones. They work nice.

    Thats why you need to aim several places.
