1. Quiver. It is incredibly hard to push an arrow in it. I've even ruined one arrow. Any solution?..
2. Ugly cheap stock scope. It does not let you benefit the advantages of this crossbow.
I replaced it with Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32 XBR-2. This one has reticle out to 100 yds - somewhat better a scope, but I experience effects of its fixed 45yds parallax from 60+ yds. Also, it is somewhat longer body than the original stock scope, which makes me (being 6ft tall) cramped while aiming. The scope was installed/moved all the way forward. One of possible remedies would be to move the scope even more forward or to have a shorter scope. So I'm looking to get extension scope rings. This Vortex also exhibits edge distortions, especially when shooting 90 and 100 yds marks which together with parallax does not help you to hit targets best way. Vortex could do better job for this scope. The clarity is good though.
I was also looking at Hawke XB1 1.5-5x32 SR but I did not like the reticle. I want it to be illuminated at least until 80 yds dot. This bow lets you hit an apple sized target at such a distance.
Hawke XB30 Compact 1.5-6x36 SR has better reticle and +$100 over Vortex, length is 9.3" -- not really compact. No point to go for it in comparison to the above mentioned Vortex. I do not know about the distortions. Did not have a chance to hold this scope in my hands yet.
Any other choices?
3. The stock. It is advertised as a compact crossbow. As already said in p.2, I feel cramped when aiming this thing. I wish I could have at least 1" longer stock. I check it and I do not see how can I extend it.

Otherwise, it is a lot of crossbow for its price. The cable machine is reliable and long lasting. Someone on Youtube says it has hundreds of shots on it with no issues.
Let me know what you think, fellows.
