How do you know what lines to use? 20/30/40 yards? Thanks I have a 320 fps crossbow.

5 lines, they start at 10yds and go down two 50yds. so it would be your 2nd 3rd and 4th lines

Specs state up to 285 fps, though we never had our clocked. I would assume that is with the aluminum bolts that are included with the crossbow, but I am not sure of that. I personally wouldn't use aluminum bolts in any crossbow, carbon fiber can be had at a price point that makes them very competitive with aluminum, especially when you take carbon fibers durability into consideration. I have taken 3 deer with one carbon fiber bolt, I doubt you could shoot one of the aluminum bolts that are included three times without damaging it beyond the point of reliability.

Definitely 25 yards. It took me 10 - 15 rounds to zero in at 25 yards. Boresighter is just gets you on the paper at 25yds. general

What weight arrow and head are you using? also how does it hit at 50 and 75 yds? What scope are you using? Sounds like they are two light.

I know what you mean, I went back and forth on the same two crossbows. finally I went with the 380. What made me go with the 380 is the draw weight and the FPS,and there is not that much difference in the two FPS and the 380 is a little cheaper. I have been supper happy with my choice and which of the two you pick I know you will be supper happy to. I hope this helps you out, good luck.

I think you will. It was my first crossbow too and I got a nice 7 point buck this season with it. It is accurate and very easy to handle. I recommend buying the String Suppressor and the Dissipator Bars (as a combination) to quiet it down a little bit. After you get use to it, buy the Flemish string too; it will improve the velocity big time. Good luck

No doubt in my mind that it will kill a turkey or deer out to 20-25 yards. Although not the fastest crossbow at further distances, but I was still burying the bolt up to the fletching at 25 yards.

I shot a whitetail doe with mine at 58yds. She ran 40 yds before dying. The Recruit can do anything those high$$ bows can do

I agree with "daddyo". I will be hunting with Arrow Precision 6 Pack Carbon Arrows (20-Inch) tipped with G5 Outdoors T3 100 Grain 3 Pack Crossbow Broadhead. With the bolts and tips that came with it I am hitting groups the size of my fist at 25 yards and the last time I was firing it I actually "Robin Hooded" one of my bolts. Split the end of the bolt with another bolt. Very cool story but terribly unfortunate for my bolt count.

20 inch is the best length its been a great crossbow for the money the shorter bolts do not give the penetration the 20 inch do

Your first pin could be used for 20 yards or thirty yards. Check out your third pin and see where that takes you. You might have to adjust your yardage for the power of your bow.

Check your alignment. If all that checks out then u need to make sure your bow has a hihh enough bow speed for the sight to work properly...you can either have the bow shop chrono it for you...has to be a minimum of 240 fps for the react to work properly...or you can increase the poundage a little if you can ...thats what I had to do to get it tuned properly...but once I got it set its awesome

I do not understand what you mean? I do know that with a "Toxic" arrow will take a buck down at 55 yards with ease. Ran 20 twenty yards at most. Put a hole clear through his shoulder about the same size as a twelve gauge deer slug.

All crossbows have some what a loud release. I don't own or have but this 1 crossbow to compair . If your going to hunt it will not matter much due to the speed of the arrow.

I use the 20'' for Target Shooting , I have 3 , 18'' Carbon Bolt that I use to hunt with . I have not shot anything yet with the Carbon Bolts , But a friend that has a Horton and the same Bolts I have had good results with them ..

I wouldnt shoot anything less because the arrow will fly crazy after about thirty yards. From experience

it has a 4 power 32 mm scope with 4 crosshair settings tuned to the crossbow you set the top crosshair at 20 and the second will shot at 30 yrds the 3rd at 40yrds etc.
