Well, I shot it ONCE today. LOL
I have a Big Shot 450 target, brand new. Adriana and I both thought we heard it hit the target, but no bolt sticking out, and no hole.
Don't know where I launched that bolt, but I suspect it's in the cornfield across the road??
Might try again tomorrow, but with another bag backing up the new one, and shooting closer to the target.
Pretty humbling.....

Went shed hunting on Resovoir this afternoon, on the way back up I angled toward my stand and found my bolt from Oct. Buck. It was 50 yards past the blow through. Bolt 70 yds total. Amazing That's really COOL!

I've been doing some research on the TenPoints and sounds like they have them sighted in at factory for 25 yards. Not sure if that's all their models. Look fwd to what your bow shop finds.

I just can't believe it zipped thru the bag target without leaving a hole. New target, designed to handle 450 fps. I went this morning to look in the corn field that is behind the target and found nothing

I would think it would blow right through a bag target.

Took the now back to bow shop. They have a large target on the wall. Bow was shooting a bit over a foot to the right. Not sure how far that bolt went across the road and I to the field. Lol
It's shooting just a tad high right now, but no more lost bolts

The farmer will return it this spring, along with the tire bill.

Lol It's shooting just a tad high right now, but no more lost bolts Kinda what I figured but the question is why was it that off from the factory. A foot to the right at 15-20 yards is quite a bit. That is a lot of clicks on the windage dial on a crossbow scope.

I'm going to check that, but the guy tried to wiggle everything and it was ok.
Checked it over, everything looks fine

The farmer will return it this spring, along with the tire bill. Couple of years ago I was at a farmer friend’s place, and noticed a shed, I asked him if he found it. He said yeah, it my $800 shed. I pulled it out of the one tractor’s tire.

If the scope's windage and elevation adjustments were centered, which they should be from the scope factory, even if the scope/crossbow was not sighted in before being shipped, being a foot right at 15-20 yards is a huge distance to be off at such a close distance.

I know. I notified Tenpoint about it. At least I'm on record about the issue. They created a "ticket". I guess I'll hear from them at some point

Will a metal detector pick up a broadhead ?

Will a metal detector pick up a broadhead ? I have a metal detector I can get from work, I'll take a field point in today to see if it picks it up.
