You have an extraordinarily long nose??
Haha ok ok I get it, probably shouldnt of mention my face. But hand still legit concern!

No hip shooting in a loin cloth either....Haha ok ok I get it, probably shouldnt of mention my face. But hand still legit concern!
Yeah sorry can't help on the left/right issues but seriously after seeing a few traditional raven crossbows blow up, I don't want those anywhere near my face either!Haha ok ok I get it, probably shouldnt of mention my face. But hand still legit concern!
I'm left handed and son is right handed. How hard is it to convert it from one dex to the other? Not saying that I'm buying one soon, but the design of being left or right dominant only is one of the major reason why I would never buy one compared to a regular crossbow.
Yes, I will admit it, I'm using my son as a proxy to convince my wife to be open to the idea of buying one someday.
I think I have a new winter mini project… reducing bow vibration. I know this is unecessary and a crossbow will never be quiet but I’m still curious to see if some adhesive sorbothane sheet stuck on the right spots (like the scope assembly and the length of the stock), and split limb dampeners, can change the shot from thump/twang to just thump. Might help with fasteners staying tight longer too, we will see.
Will do and I’m sure you’ve replied with this answer 5 times already but did you increase the arrow spine at all?Shoot an arrow with 225gr up front.
Add limb saver split limb silencers.
These two things make a material difference.
I think of my mini as exactly the same as a 70/30 compound bow from an energy standpoint. Not as a crossbow. With that in mind, I play exact same game I play with my compound. Shoot a 500ish grain arrow 280-310fps, and my red dot scope is +-2” from 0-35 yards. Playing this game, allows the arrow build suggested.
Use a cut on contact head, razor sharp, small diameter, and you’ll go through any deer you shoot.
Or shoot ‘em mid body with a rage.
Way quieter. Way less vibration. Way happier kyle

When I tap the scope I get some vibration so I’m committed to trying the few grams the sorbothane will add, will make changes one step at time to see which are perceivable.
But will incorporate a heavier arrow build too… suspect an added benefit of that being a little easier on the machine long term as well.
good call on the limb savers. did you have to find a special size? I measured and the mini limbs are 3/8 inch spaced and most regular bows are closer to 1 inch I think. will they just squish in?Shoot an arrow with 225gr up front.

Thx sir. Also like how you have your mini all tucked into bed there. I treat mine like that too.
When I want something for X$. I tell my wife she can spend the same amount. It costs me twice as much, but cheaper then a divorce.There's a lefty for sale in the classifieds for $650 plus shipping. I would love to buy it but I'm scared of my wife.

I am not sure what you are referring to. Don't have any cap screws?? You got a pic?Are folks loosening the limb pocket pivot cap screws at all before adjusting draw weight up or down?
I do not have them on my Mini.
