rossi_j 99 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hi, Ste.The bow's rated at 150lb draw weight. It's a compound bow with a four limb prod, hence the Quad in the name. According to the specks it shoots at around 350fps giving about 130ft'lbs, if I remember right. They are rather high maintainance though, you've got to wax the strings after every 5 shots or they're knackered in no time, even then they can need re stringing after as little as 50 shots. They are fragile and really need a lot more TLC than a gun.I put a little blob of Tipex on each arrow after it's been fired 'cos after 8 or so shots, the accuracy starts to go off.That said, when all's good it'll shoot to around an inch at 30 yards and by feck, whatever you've hit stays hit targets, of course....Cheers. Sweet, it is crazy that if you sneak over 12ftlb with an air rifle your in deep sh!t, but you can have one of them lol .atb. .ste. Quote Link to post

I guess part of their disjointed reasoning is high power bows of any kind are so big and bulky and take a relatively long time to load, they're not exactly a very practical tool compared to a modern rifle of any kind and it's not like you could hide the bloody things under your jacket They are very pleasing to use though, very rewarding when it all comes together Quote Link to post
