And you kept it a secret.

I have other secrets in plain sight as well.

Hickory Ridge Mini Inline Xbow

Anyone use this with a saddle? If so, I have a few questions: 1. Can you cock this in the saddle? I dont think so but figured I'd ask..... 2. For a saddle, would use this over a Ravin xbow? Obviously, the vertical orientation is better....but the Ravin limbs are pretty small....just trying...

I was on holidays then and missed it . You sound like the objective scientist. @Nutterbuster sounds like the subjective poet.
I am looking forward to Oct 1. 75 days.

So can you shoot these as a lefty or no? Lol

I have a LH version so yes.
Shooting right handed is doable but a little awkward bc of the reach required. Probably can shorten the stock to make it more comfortable though.

I guess I over looked the LH version!

Finally got around to sighting in the HC. While doing this I discover the rest is loose almost floating if that makes sense. Is this by design or does it need tightening? My thought is no moving parts are good.

Everything is tight on mine. I shot it out to 50 yds. with tight groups.

Thanks. I confirmed with Jerry. I’ve had several questions over the past week. Tell you what that dude doesn’t let an email sit very long. Very responsive.

Is there any owners manual available online? I emailed Jerry several times last year and am still waiting for a reply.

Drinking the Koolaid. Ordered this morning after conversing with Jerry.

Jerry advised me that the bow would have a little play in it where the bow goes together and that is normal. He advised that when cocked, everything firms up and it is locked down in the same position every time. Hope that makes sense.

Alright y'all, I need some pointers here. Unless our country somehow miraculously gets it's s--- together, it looks like my profession won't be returning till next year. So, with all this time, I might as well try out this thing called archery season. I know next to nothing about archery, and don't particularly want to learn. I get enough tinkering and terminology and challenging myself in a hunt out of my flintlock. Seems like I need one of these Hickory Creek things.

What don't I know that I need to know? Are the arrows that come with it good enough? Can I use any arrowheads with them? Should I? Are there any other doodads that I need to get? Appreciate it!

I’m a long time bow hunter. I bought a HC mini for my wife. We’re very happy with it and I will probably hunt with it on public when she’s not using it. Nutterbuster, has several kills and I’m sure he’ll respond soon.
Until then:
The set up comes ready to hunt.
The arrows are good. I just bought 9 more
Any quality broadhead should work well. I’m using Rage Hypodermics because we’ve had excellent results on deer and pigs when launching them with our compounds.

It's ready to go out of the box. You'll need broadheads for hunting. It comes with 100 gr. field points for practice so getting 100 gr. broadheads would be the easiest. Get a broadhead/field point target and practice. The scope was good to go on mine up to about 15 yds. but I dialed it in so it was good to 50 yds. (it's just like sighting in a rifle scope). You can buy more arrows at Deer Crossing Archery ready to go if you want. Good luck and glad you're giving archery season a shot. I muzzleloader hunt but never with a flintlock, pretty cool!

Many thanks y'all!

Mini was delivered yesterday late. This morning shot it a couple of times at 125 lbs. and immediately cranked it down to 150 lbs. Zeroed in at 30 yards. Shoots 2 inches high at 20 yards and 1 inch at 10 yards.

Little slice of goodness. Excalibur Micro Suppresser or R26 may be leaving the stable.
