Earlier in the year I began getting pictures of two big animals that I wanted to hunt in October but I couldn't get close enough to hunt them with the archery equipment I owned. Then on youtube I watched Chris Bee shooting a Mission Sub 1 crossbow and hitting targets at 100 yards and a light went off for me. I found a used Mission Sub 1 on eBay and bought it for about half the price of a new bow. The bow is made by a Mathews company and I am full aware of the quality of bows built by Mathews. The solo cam compound version that I owned was quiet and fast. This bow is designed to shoot an arrow at 350 fps and under controlled conditions do moa at 100 yards. A Nikon Prostaff scope with BDS sighting came with the package and I installed the scope and sighted in the bow. When I sighted in the duplex at 20 yards it was easy to hit a two inch dot, the 30 yard bds point easily hit a two inch dot, the next increment was on at 44 yards , and the forth increment was on at 56 yards. I still have two more increments to determine the distances. This bow is just like shooting a rifle. The trigger pull is long and I just keep pulling until it fires. The bow cocks with a rope sled and the 200 pound draw weight is not that difficult and it feels like doing a workout on an excercise machine. I am especially interested in comments from those who have crossbow experience. This is my first crossbow and from what I have learned so far I would advise others to try a crossbow. I have until October 1st to learn how to use the bow and it is very accurate and easy to use.
