Just wonderring how far it will shoot at full draw? I plan on using it to get a line into a tree and need to know how far the arrows fly.

our kids shoot target at about 40 feet away. The arrow can definitely travel another 20 feet. Also we are aiming almost horizontally. Aiming up in the air will allow longer distance. However, you need to take into account the drag force that the line applies to the arrow. Hope that help.

I shoot at 305 fps and there is very little penetration with a 150 lb bow. At 400 I am not sure how it will perform. I think it would still stop the bolt with a little more penetration due ro the faster speed.

According to the ad you can set the draw between 13 and 30 inches and between 5 and 70 lbs. Mine was set to 65 lbs and 24". If you don't know what you are doing I suggest taking it to a pro to set the bow up. I did that and he worked on it for a bit to get the draw length right. Take the instructions with you, if it isn't a bow they sell and work on regularly they will need to see them. Great bow, easy to shoot.

I'm not positive. It is pretty tough. I'm shooting heavy arrows at right around 275 fps, and there's always plenty of arrow left sticking out. But with short and heavy bolts pushing a full 375 fps - just not sure.

It really depends on your strength level. A bow with a fifty pound draw will kill medium size game at a medium distance no problem. But if you are still growing you could out grow this. It really depends on you and you're age

I would consult the manufacturers guide for the xbow. I do know you are putting yourself in danger of at least an inaccurate shot if you use a bolt that is not the correct length and weight for your bow. I have heard it can damage the bolt over time also and firing a damaged bolt can result in it sharrtering. I just imagine shards of carbon going in my face or hands and that is enough for me not to risk it. What xbow did you get???

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.

Your absolutely right. I shot at a bear at a 3d shoot it was standing up at a pretty steep angle at 60 yards and it told me to shoot at 55 and I was still high. So we shot it again for 50 and we were right on. I haven't messed with it out of my tree stand yet.

Take a few precautions and you'll probably be fine. Try a sheet of plywood behind the target for stray arrows. Kids shoot poorly at first so start close like 10 ft from the target at most until they can consistently hit the target and build control of the bow and arrow. Obviously don't shoot in a direction toward people or valuables. Also look into a few better quality arrows which will shoot better. Just always use practice tips.

The range is around 10-15 feet.... it all depend on the bow weight and the child size as well the farther back he or she pulls the farther the arrow fly.Remember the arrows are only 18 inches long The same for the deluxe arrows

I use 30" carbon arrows with feathers, and they fly really well. Don't get plastic vaned arrows. That bow amazes the onlookers at the range, making them wonder why they spent $1500 on a compound bow!

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)

A friend of mine shoots at around 52# and the sight works well for him. It has a pretty wide range of motion. I use a fixed position for 27 yards and compensate by aiming higher or lower (even though it's easy to move, I don't want to mess with the pin during a hunting situation). I'm shooting a fast bow but even so, I'm not even close to either end when I move the sight pin up and down for longer or shorter distances. I think you'll be fine, but it's easy enough to return if you're not satisfied.

My 4 year old (just turned 4) can EASILY pull the "string" back as far as it can go, but my 2 year old can only get it about 2/3rds of the way, which may be due to a combination of less strength and shorter arm span. If you do not pull it back all the way, it does not always fire properly as it requires a lot of force to eject the arrow. I will note that the string is just for show, it does not do anything. The tension you feel pulling on the handle to activate the bow is caused by a spring (or something like that) inside the body of the bow.

Hi, I do not shoot my regular bow at 60 to 70 yards. I have not tried the recruit at this range either. I can tell you at 30 to 40 yards it is fantastic and certainly all you need in a nice small easily manageable package. Good luck.

Some people shoot a full length arrow. Also you can start off with full length arrow and cut a little bit off at a time to get the best arrow flight.
