My trigger is super smooth. I use Archoil AR2400. I think if your trigger feels like it's hanging up I would contact Crosman about it. Can't hurt to see if they would do a warranty swap on it for you.

just bought one on ebay for 229$....does this bow shoot flat nocks or moon nocks? and what arrows is everyone shooting them out of ?

Moons. I'm shooting Jerry's Spynal Tapps 20"

that particular ebay listing shut down in 7 hours.....says he sold 420 bows in that timeframe

 

[Oldskolbowhnter]

Glad you got one! That's the best price I know of right now. Moon nocks and I'm shooting Jerry's Spynal Tapps.

One of the quietest crossbows if not the quietest out of the box... add some Limbsavers and it drops below most compounds out of the box!

Trying to think back and I don't think there was a poi change and I had mine close to the riser and not out by the cam like some do.

I got the last one in stock that's why I jumped on it, and If I don't like it and sell it I can easily get my money back

I still haven't received it yet though, says it will be here Monday hopefully

Always good to shoot and be certain. It is amazing how each crossbow can be different and how different products affect performance. I have the Limbsaver Broadbands on a Killer Instinct Furious 370 FRT I am reviewing, I got 368 FPS (400 gr arrow) with no silencers and 367 FPS with the Limbsaver Broadbands and went from 88.2 decibels down to 82.1 decibels and a lot less vibration. Limbsaver Broadbands do the job on this model with only 1 FPS loss and almost no vibe putting the KI silencers that come with the crossbow in the cable track, this crossbow is very quiet with almost no vibe, what a difference!

I lost 5 fps with broadband close to the riser. 338 to 333 fps with a 443 grain 2219. Between the heavier arrow and limbsavers it's way more quiet, freaky quiet for a crossbow.

It is crazy, when you get under 80 decibels, that is SWEET!!!

It's the first crossbow I've seen that's on par with vertical bows. I know haven't seen/heard nearly all of them. However I spend 20 hours a week 4 months a year at our local public range. A matrix 355 sounded like a cannon going off. Especially shot off of a steel drum trash can rest!��

I am impressed how crossbows are getting quieter every year. Just have to get a hawke scope, only getting out to 40 yds with 2219's.

After reading this review, I just purchased one off of GM with the 15% discount. This will be great for my 7 year old son to shoot. Right now I have a cheap Barnett and he struggles due to the length of the stock. Thinking I may give the GT Nitros a go.

Got my new sniper but now having problem with serving coming loose. Any remedy's for this? Getting bare spots where it sits against the lock. Help!

 

[bowhunter86]

If it happened after a few shots. Call Crosman and ask for a new string. Make sure you lube the rail, but don't overdo

You probably need to polish the latches. Sounds like you have a rough place on two on them.

There is a guy named Looneytunes on crossbow nation that has an excellent trigger mod. You should check it out.

 

[bowhunter86]

Cool, does he sell a mod part or explain how to do it?

Sniper Trigger Improvement

Roddy is correct. There is a mod. for the Sniper trigger. Look for a post in the "Gear Review" section titled "Center Point Sniper 370". Page 19 is where the discussion takes off.

Looney developed a way to remove 50% of the trigger travel with a simple mod. to the trigger mechanism. The factory 1/2" of pull is reduced to 1/4" of travel and it could be made even less if you really wanted to.

Simply put, it's a physical stop added to the trigger rocker and a mild change to the pin it drives. Just .020 of a change to the pin will make a huge difference in the trigger. This work preserves the shear relationship of the trigger rocker for safety. The internal spring also can be changed which will change trigger pressure. That's being worked on as well. If we can replicate the test spring Looney has used with one that has the physical and compression characteristics we need, you will see your Sniper trigger pressure drop from 5+ lbs to about 3-3.5 lbs.

I've been shooting my Sniper with the travel mod. for about a week. It certainly changes the character of the xbow. No more serious concentration necessary on those long shots. It's the only critique I've had of the xbow since I first started shooting it and now the trigger matches the performance of the rest of the xbow.

If you are a DIY I can send you a drawing for this piece. If you're interested in a kit, I've got 50 being made by a local machinist and they will be available to any of the folks on the Forum. Price will likely be about $50.
