I don't think this is very far off. I agree with
@EricS that this is the best designed crossbow for saddle hunting. I have only hunted with it once so far (got it for the late season when it gets cold) and I've played with it a good bit in the backyard.
Areas for improvement:
1. I would do away with the take down knob and just have it come with a lock nut on the front like we've been putting on. That was the key to gaining accuracy for me.
2. The swing weight of the bow is actually too light. I think it needs a stabilizer mount up front. I'm going to DIY something so I can attach it in front of the lock nut I put on (eventually).
3. The quiver blocks the foot stirrup. The first quiver I got had the ability to rotate the mount which solved this issue because I mounted it at maybe 30 degrees. The quiver sucked so I picked up a kwikee quiver to put on. I plan on DIY'ing a bracket to mount this on so I can rotate it.
4. I haven't run into issues with the stirrup yet but I've only used it in sneakers and light rubber boots. I'm glad that it has been brought up so I can check it with my late season boots and see if I need to address it.
All of that being said you definitely need to learn how to hunt with it in a saddle so I would recommend practice. I found that I could actually hang it on the right side of the tree and easily shoot on what would be my off side. If I have it on the left side of the tree I will probably have the stock and bow on my side of the bridge and have my right arm go under the bridge to hold the grip. I'm a righty.
