I was thinking the same thing aiming off target but obviously working for him

@@paulowen5459 yes he does it good

You will need to get Uni bushings and put a nocturnal knock in that. I think it is the S size knock that fits it, but I would double check that there are two different sizes of Uni bushings one goes in a 1916 and it uses a smaller nock, but the larger uni-bushing goes in Larger diameter shafts, and it takes the S size I’m pretty sure.

Also, I think my old 2219 arrows were 23 1/2 inches long for the Jennings devastator

My experience is that the Blackcat arrow tray may not let an arrow lay flat consistently. My arrow tray/stock is the old Recruit stock with a Blackcat 165 lbs bow on it. I put a 2nd set of toothbrush bristles on it with a small hose clamp and trimmed the bristles down a little. Mainly did it to keep heavy arrow setups from flopping around, but, it may help with your arrow laying flat more consistently. I shoot aluminum arrows with tradition fixed blade type broadheads. Carbon arrows fly weird with fixed blade heads. Shooting heavier points can help with more consistent flight as well. In addition, the Barnett aluminum arrows are straight fletch. They shoot small 3 blades ok, but if you use a lighted nock, accuracy goes south. I had to put helical feathers on them to get accuracy back.

@@Kurtdog63 thanks for the reply. I’ll give that a try and see what I come up with. I like the idea of a little more point weight as well. Gotta get this figured out before deer season gets here !!

@@Kurtdog63 I’ll check em out. They look sweet for the price !!! I think I finally figured out what was wrong with mine. I took it apart after work and found the bow wasn’t centered in the stock after checking everything with a tape measure. The factory alignment mark on the bow was off by almost an 1/8. Took it outside and tested it and my arrows are flying great out to 40yds now.

@@davidgunter633 Ha. Forgot to mention that. I had sighted my old Barnett Recruit in and it was hitting great. Right before a hunt, I tested a few shots and the accuracy was off! Then I noticed, the bow bolt was loose! Tightened it back and it was back on!

They are on Ebay from China. One of the few things I have ordered for cheap price that actually exceeded my expectations. www.ebay.com/itm/384893132242

1916 - 29.75 inches - 470 grains with Nocturnal lighted nock. 😃👍

FOC is better with plain nock, but I don't want to give up the lighted nock. The light is just too valuable for video tracking the flight in low light, and to see where the arrow impacts an animal.

What is your current arrow total weight?

My experience, carbon arrows do not shoot fixed heads accurately. You can sight in for one carbon arrow and a fixed blade, but the other arrows may not group. I shoot aluminum with helical fletch plastic or vanes. They fly much more consistent with small fixed broadhead. If you go heavy with a broadhead, I would recommend a two blade 200 grains. You can buy Zwickey Eskimo without the aluminum adapter and buy 75 grain steel adapter and hot glue it in. Academy has 2219 twenty inch xx75s for about 40 bucks for six. total arrow weight will be about 580 grains.

I have several videos on different arrow selections. Currently shooting light predator arrow setups. They will work for deer, but may not penetrate on heavy bone strikes.

Just type in the word Barnett on my channel and you will see probably 50 plus videos on arrow selection experimentation. 400 to 630 grains. I like arrow system to weigh at least 450 but prefer even higher weight. Watch Ranch Fairy channel on high FOC arrows. He shoots carbons in compounds, but the FOC principle is the same.

I am practicing aiming at an imaginary shooting lane that an animal will be approaching, before the animal can see me, so I can draw undetected. Obviously a straw bail doesn't move, so I have to swing to the "ribs". If I wait for the animal to be in the shooting lane, they can see me draw and also get by me before I can aim, if it is a narrow shooting lane. This is especially critical if you bow hunt from the ground. It is definitely a remedy for target panic as I used to be a snap shooter. Fred Bear was once asked if he recommended his style of shooting and he said "No". He spent three years trying to overcome target panic and came up with a shooting method where he would draw the bow pointing the arrow above the animal and come down with the arrow as he came to anchor and let it go the instant it touched his face. I call my method an "Approach Draw" where I am holding dead still as the animal approaches my point of aim. If it stops and is shootable, I can swing to make the shot because I have practiced it.

So sorry brother. Prayers for comfort for you family. When my mother passed, someone said the current sadness will fade, and in time, will be replaced with good memories. They were right.

It came with several extra O rings of different sizes I think. Not sure of the sizes.

Most crossbow arrows are carbon and will only shoot mechanical broadheads accurately. I am not a fan. The Barnett crossbow aluminum arrows will shoot the 100 muzzy accurately, but the arrow is pretty light and if you put a lighted knock on it, it may not fly worth a dime. I have a lot of videos posted showing different arrow set ups, but they all involve aluminum arrows. I don’t shoot carbons out of compounds or recurves either.

@@Kurtdog63 I see you use 19” arrows any reason not 18” or 20” also thank you much for the response.

@@Minnesotawhitetails I shoot several broadheads that are long and I don't want them to stick out past the stirrup. Also, the Simmons Broadhead actually extends back on the shaft below the insert, so 18 can be almost too short. Also, an 18 can easily disappear inside of a straw bale, especially at an angle. If you shoot short broadheads, 20 inch works fine.

The inside of the suppressor got lost in the woods, so I had to buy an aftermarket on eBay and it worked great. It was solid one piece and screwed in to the existing barrel shroud no problem.

@@Kurtdog63 awesome. Thanks I'll have to check into that

It was called the monocore baffle system. About $30 including shipping.

Broadheads work.

Same to you James. Life is good.

Sounds promising and probably cheaper than copper. ha

Crazy how much bending is going on in flight. Waggles all the way to the target.

@@Kurtdog63 yes I seen that

I use a high anchor and longer arrow. Point on is 20 yards! Heavy arrow drops 8 inches at 25 and 12 inches at thirty. I like 15 yard shots. Ha.

Turkey is one of the least gamey tasting wild meats for sure.

Almost the same spot missed with 16 gauge. Not enough choke at that range. Wow. Don't know when the last time I saw 28 gauge.

Most of the birds I have killed did not involve decoys. Many of them were killed in the woods on a large tract of land I hunted on for about 10 years. The family sold it and I lost access. Decoys can work great, but sometimes with educated birds they work just the opposite. I like to seem them come to the decoys and interact with them. Pretty cool.

I suppose you could take the string off if you are not going to shoot the crossbow for long periods of time, but I don't. I would not recommend storing it cocked as it can weaken the bow over time. Discharge it each time after a hunt. Would not even store it overnight cocked if you are going to hunt the next day.

@@Kurtdog63 thanks for the answer, I kept it for 2 months without using it with the string attached and I wonder if it affected the strength of the bow?!

Prob not. Be careful to not store it in a hot environment like a vehicle. That will destroy one.

@@Kurtdog63 Tanks!

I bought Hatsan Flash QE in .22 caliber. Hand pump friendly. Shoots JSB Exact Jumbo Monsters 25 grain accurately. Be sure and clean barrel with Ballistol. Improves accuracy. Gun was about 250 and pump was 100ish. I would get a pull thru cleaning kit.

Clean barrel with ballistol Improves accuracy. Currently shooting Exact jumbo monsters 25 grain. Good 25 yard accuracy. 753 fps

I haven't shot it till empty but if I remember, takes about 50-60 pumps to get it to the bottom of the green on the pressure gauge, then about 50 more to get it way up in the green. I eventually plan to buy other pcp's and get an electric pump.

@@Kurtdog63 thank you

Good showing and lots of bidders. Bobcat, Beaver, and otter did pretty well. Even though coons/coyotes didn't bring much, glad people are managing the predator numbers. I think coons/possums/skunks part of the reason turkey numbers are down in some areas. Other states have numbers down for turkeys as well.

Excellent and simple design. I put a second set of bristles on to keep the arrow snug to the arrow tray. You can monitor Ebay for best price. I posted several videos on this style of crossbow. I shoot aluminum arrows because they are the most accurate with fixed blade heads. Good luck!

@@Kurtdog63 Thanks for the reply! I think I'll pick one up when they go on sale. I'll take a look through your videos. I need something light and simple an have settled on a recurve but was astonished at some of the prices of the higher performance recurves (Excalibur at 305 fps). Thanks again.

@@kellydavis4330 Those high end Excalibur crossbows are impossible to cock without a crank. The Barnett is much easier to cock with just a rope cocker. Deer have amazing ability to drop at the sound of the crossbow, so aim low and expect them to drop 4 to 6 inches at 20 yards and beyond.

Reasonable price and good accuracy with the right pellet. Many air rifles are pellet picky, so hard to judge accuracy until one experiments with multiple pellet weights. 25-30 yards is a good hunting distance for squirrels and could go to 50 yards on coon size animals. Whatever air rifle you buy, clean the barrel with non-petroleum type cleaner like Ballistol so you don't mess up the O rings. Cleaning the barrel greatly improves accuracy also.

.22 There are several videos chronographing and accuracy for different pellet weights.

It needs something to take glare away😃👍👁️👁️
