Well I made the switch to a crossbow this year. It was an anniversary present from the wife. I do not know a whole lot about crossbows. But, I wanted reverse limbs, a crank to cock the bow, a good trigger and optics. I purchased a Wicked Ridge Fury 410 de-cock from Amazon. I also needed a new target to stop these speed bolts. I went with the Spiderweb crossbow target.
Upon delivery, I installed the scope and set it up to my eye relief. Waxed the string and lubed the rail. After setting up my target at 10 steps, I sent a bolt flying. It was low at 6 O’clock. I adjusted the scope and sent another bold. Getting closer I, shot two more times and found the bullseye. I backed up to 20 yards and it was close. Made another adjustment and the next bolt found bullseye. This was the easiest sighting in I have every experienced. I have been shooting for a week and it is zeroed all the way to 50 yds.
In review of this crossbow, I have to say I really like to optics. They are crystal clear and the 30mm tube provides ample field of view. The dots in the scope are black (non-illuminated) or illuminated red or green. The trigger is 3.5lbs with no creep. It is a solid trigger. I would prefer 3lb trigger but that is just my personal preference. The cock/de-cock is excellent. Easy to cock or de-cock you can stop and let go of the crank handle and it stays in place.
I will say this bow is fast. Super-fast! I have yet to see a bolt in the air after pulling the trigger. Just hear it slamming into the target. I cannot foresee a deer jumping this string.
The SpiderWeb target is as advertised. Two finger easy removal! The bolt only penetrates 4-5 inches. Best target I have owned!
After purchasing the Wicked Ridge, the only item I would like different is the cock/De-Cock that is currently on the Ten Pont cross bows. It seem easier to operate. However, I’m not willing to pay that much for convenience. The unit on the Fury is just fine.
