I just recently bought this crossbow, and I was wondering IF anyone else has 1 or shot 1. I sold my Centerpoint Patriot 415 with an adjustable stock to a co-worker that I bought in 2019 and have GREAT success with. The crossbow in the question doesn't have the adjustable stock, and I'm trying to get options on your thoughts of it. I'm a long arm armed kinda guy. My finger tip to finger tip measures 6'8, and when I shoulder it, it feels like a youth model. I've got the fore grip as far forward because of where the quiver mount gets located.

A slip on rubber recoil pad will gain you some length.
Try it and see how it works for you. Unless there is a problem with mounting I would shoot it and get used to the short LOP.
When I made my .54 flintlock I made it with a 12-1/2" LOP. I shot that gun exclusively the first summer I made it with no add ons. When deer season rolled around and heavier clothes were in orger it never bothered me.

Well the butt stock pad would be a great idea, but I'm not sure how that would work due to the cocking system slips in the top part of the stock. It came with the pull rope as well, but I'm finding it hard to pull the draw string evenly and seems to launch the bolt right or left a tick

I would be contacting Centerpoint. They may have already solved the problem. |

I do not have this model but can you remove the quiver? I have found that doing so takes out some variables and helps with "cleaner" shooting. You just have to deal with the quiver in another manor like puting it in your pack or something.

I’m not familiar with that crossbow but most, if not all, quivers are removable. For a couple seasons I used a hip quiver.

My quiver is removable, but not much gain on the fore grip. Might gain 2 inches or so, but since my arm is so long, I'm not sure of how much help or relief it would offer me. I'm hoping to sling some bolts this coming weekend at the shooting range at Sugar Ridge. I'm an open minded kinda guy, but I'm taking my bag target with me since the targets are a pain on retrieving bolts on the provided targets
