Seems like that has the right amount of power. My arrows dig deep into the mud every time I miss.

They sell shorter versions of those fishing bolts that fit the bolt retainer better. The retainer sits on the head and holds them a little more securely. And they fly a little faster

speargunners train on drink bottles cap it of with some air and weighted anchor and retrieval line... or throw a car rim in the water with little chain and run the rope from shore through the top link and u can pull the rope to lower the bottle under the water to practice surface and sub water shots? have large knot at the bottle side so u can pull the car rimm bk to you so you can take you stuff home

Yep bruv look after it . i do not let anyone touch mine stuff after a bad experience letting an x friend use a laptop and spilt liquid on it and destroyed it. I purchased from "wish shopping platform". a mini cross bow about a year ago. Chinese built but wow what another mad machine. it is a recurve called Mini Lie Sun . It is stainless steel body with spring steel limbs. It came out of the box powerful , accurate and quality build. I put the steel cables on a different way to the instructions after firing a score of practice bolts through it and saw the potential for a small game tool that fitted into my pocket that is how small it is.I purchased the model with forward facing limbs like a crabs pincers are, after filing the trigger catch to make it a little heavier pull than an hair trigger as the way i re cabled it made it a 45lb pull which made the trigger hard to pull. Wow i was blown away at the accuracy and power of this little crossbow. I also purchased another make mini because it had a red dot pointer on board after searching for days for a sight that would fit my bow but could not find one anywhere on the net.It fitted perfect, i found a company that sold 3" two flighted plastic bolts, so i bought an 100 in case they stopped selling them which has happened i cannot find the company now, so that was a good move. after sighting it in i can get an inchish grouping continuously and after firing it at 60 ft away from a joint of pork and getting a depth of 2" into the flesh i decided to go hunting for small game to test it out real time. i am a pot poacher because it is illegal to hunt here with bows. But hey oh Acts/Statutes are fraud so f em. Of i went to see what was about in the area. I have actually killed a Munjack Deer with a spot on heart shot, the quarry only ran 300yds before dropping and dying. I cannot believe now what a cracking little crossbow this is. I paid £39 pounds for it and have noticed they are now £60 .00 to buy and still worth that price all day long. I would not part with mine for any money. There is a video review of the same model but with the usual back facing limbs.I will send the link in a few minutes so you can check it out if you would like to see the this model in action. Anyway i like your channel and the content. take care to you and yours. Happy Hunting you guys in the USA do not know how lucky you are to be able to go off hunting..👍

It will shoot them but they will dig into the bows rail. The back is rough and acts like sand paper I wouldn't do it. Be cheaper to buy ya a little 80lb bow and use it to fish with. They work very well with the little metal darts and when it messes up the rail it's all good!

@@TheWaterSwatters I think duck tape will cause drag on the metal arrow. I'm thinking instead of tape, wrap fishing line in the two back grooves where the knurling is. Just wrap it so it sticks out past the knurling. Fishing line shouldn't scratch the rail, it's water proof, and it's cheap.
