As a result, the groups sometimes measure larger than they should.Ĭrossbow regulations are easing around the country as the weapon of old becomes new again and gains wider acceptance. It must be noted, unlike bullets that pass through a target, arrows stick and must either slide next to another arrow or glance off the arrow and then be measured where it lands. The tightest group measured just under an inch. On the range, I shot the TAC-15 from a support (shooting sticks) with a 3-mph crosswind at 50 yards, shooting five, three-shot groups. Power and features are nothing without accuracy. During a demonstration video, the TAC-15 actually shot a broadhead-equipped arrow through both sides of a 55-gallon metal drum. By comparison, the most powerful modern compound bows on the market are delivering approximately half that amount of kinetic energy. With a light-by-crossbow-standards 155 pounds of pull, the TAC-15 shoots 26.25-inch, 425-grain arrows at more than 400 fps, providing 150 ft-lbs of kinetic energy. The first is the long power stroke (power stroke is the length/time the string is actually pushing the arrow).
Several features set PSE crossbows apart from others on the market. The TAC-15 is offered with an optional integrated stock - dubbed the TAC-15i - for those who do not have an AR lower, but for those reading this magazine, I'm guessing the drop-in AR crossbow upper will prove most interesting. Realizing this could cause a hazard if the crank slipped when not in ratchet mode, I opted for a drop of Super Glue to secure the magnet instead. After it came loose, I removed the magnet at first. Inside it is a small magnet to keep the crank on the shaft during the draw. At the range, the crank provided a slight problem. The crank utilizes a ratchet for safety during the draw, but for hunting you can hold the release lever in the down position to draw the bow silently.
