I just enjoy shooting this quiet little bow, so I’m going to search for reasons to use it. As you can see, I’m just getting used to the AR-6, and already I have to think about shooting at different targets. This was only the third time I was out with the crossbow, not counting last year at the Pyramyd Air Cup. When Denny got serious about his shooting, my arrows were put in jeopardy! Maybe even double jeopardy! ![]() When Denny got serious, he started doing it, too. This AR-6 is so darned accurate that it’s come very close for me a number of times. But it quite another thing when it happens. It’s fine to theorize about Robin Hood shots where one arrow hits another at the target. ![]() Sometimes success isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. His facial expression changed to one of concentration that told me my glory days were about to end. Then something happened in the middle of our session. Denny got real serious. Until this day I had been outshooting my neighbor, Denny. Yes, there is a fourth arrow about 4 inches away that I cropped out. This shooting is all offhand, so shaky old BB is the biggest variable.įrom 10 meters here are 4 arrows in a group that’s just a little larger than my hand. And I began to get groups of reasonable proportions. In the video I say it’s 25 feet but I went out and measured it with a laser rangefinder and its over 10 meters. This little crossbow is accurate! This time out I shot at the target bag from 10 meters from the start. Now - where can I find a good adjustable dot sight? Accurate There is also a short Picatinney rail on the front of the bow just forward of the front sight. The AR-6 does come with a built-in red laser, but in bright sunlight it is invisible. The “sights” are nothing to speak of, yet I find I can align them with precision to accomplish my objective. I use the top of the silver spring latch on the magazine cover for the rear sight. The crossbow really only has a front sight. So, if you get one of these, watch that magazine spring so you don’t bend it like I did! “Sights” I will say that I loaded six arrows in the video that’s coming, but there were really only 5. It doesn’t happen with just 5 arrows loaded, so that’s all I load. Now the cover pops open when I shoot with 6 arrows loaded. So I had to re-bend it to press on the arrows. In the beginning when I was first getting used to the bow I didn’t watch the spring that pushes down on the arrows and I bent it while closing the magazine cover. I did have one problem with the repeating magazine though, and it was my fault. And, in about 100 shots thus far, there have been no problems with the bow’s reliability. The box that sits on top of the bow holds the arrows and the rest of the mechanism that allows it to be a repeater. I have to say - for a non-airgun this little crossbow is one of the most intriguing shooting platforms to come along in the past 20 years! Repeaterīesides being essentially a pistol the AR-6 is a repeating crossbow - an oddity in itself. Today we get to see the AR-6 crossbow in action. ![]() Sen_X AR-6 Tactical Arrow Repeating Crossbow.
