Does anyone else's bar bow in the middle a little bit? I have it extended to the maximum 5 feet.

Mine doesn't bow but I don't have mine extended that far but is probably extended 3 ft.

I have not personally attempted to however the two adjustments should not be relative. You should be able to set it at 13 inches and 70#, 30 inches and 5# or anywhere inbetween. I have 2 of these bows. My wifes is set at 24 inches and 45# my daughters is set at 24 inches and 30#. They both still have plenty of adjustment in both departments. When I get home I will read thru the manual and post a definitive answer.

Your bow should be fine. I think the response concerning the crossbow was a bit "overstated". I'm shooting a 60# compound w/field tips and they went in 3-5 ". I've taken mine apart after more than 2000 shots and recycled the contents into a replacement bag cover which I highly recommend doing! ;0)

I would love to help you, but I was not able to extend mine fully. It is not very sturdy and if you attempt to fully extend it the weight of the light mount alone will BEND the bar.I used it once and had to modify it for other things as it did not really meet my expectations. If you are using it for babies, and newborn shots, small subjects and other closer work, perhaps... but not for adults and other full sized subjects.

I've only used mine a couple of times and with a shotgun. I'm 6' and believe I could draw my bow without two much trouble. If there were two people inside it would be very hard. Heightwise you might have to duck around a little or stay in the center.

Hi, The bar is right at 7 feet. When I do a full chin over bar pull my head and neck extend up to about the 8 foot mark. I think it might be a bit too tight for your basement application. On a side note: I put mine in my back yard about 6 months ago as part of my crossfit layout ( I spray the bolts with wd-40 every week or so to prevent rust) The set-up is still looking good even with rain and freezing temps.

i have the same problem but i notice the more my baby uses it the better it stays open. but its a little tipsy due to mine having a bent bar that came that way.

The two previous answers cover it ...I had a heck of a time with middle ring...my brother helped me..also make sure the support at the base is tight

That is how mine is. As it shows in the photo. Perhaps you have received a defective crossbow.

I have an older compound and a large re-curve both fit on the bow rest with out any tipping except when I run into the bow. It is surprisingly stable

Hello, the way I adjusted is that I did not use the middle section. The horizontal bars cannot be changed, but you can shorten the width of the vertical bars. Good luck

I am 5 feet also, and it works fine for me. I do have it set on the shortest adjustment, so someone under 5 feet might have a problem.

I am only 5'4" but I do not have any trouble with my knees colliding with the bar. None of my guests have complained either. I really love this table, its heavy enough to hold up to the high winds in our area and even though it has a non-solid top, no one has spilled a drink on it DT being uneven. The bar under the table is actually kind cool if you want ot lean back with your feet up!

Hello Nancy, i have had the same problem, but the slit is there. You have to search/feel inside the bow, in the "fur" where the plastic tube is in. This slit in on both sides at the end of the bow. Succes!

EliteBogenMuenchen on youtube has a short and simple video making it very easy to understand how it is done. I'll only add the note that while doing as the video shows be sure to keep the bow from flexing either left or right. Make sure it is a even and strait when flexing the bow.

Mine was perfect right out of the box. I literally put it together and shot it at ten yards in the bullseye. 20,30,40 yards same thing. No adjustments necessary. It has a spot for 50 yards but the bow is loud so 40 is my max.
