1/17/2024 0 Comments Centerpoint crossbow scope yardage![]() The second click never is heard, and the trigger is not grabbing the bowstring, yet for some reason, the safety is being pushed to the on position. I have pulled the crank looser, and tighter, but neither solve the problem. ![]() After monitoring that closely, and trying to keep the sled centered, the problem is not resolved. Initially, I thought the issue was that the crank was not tracking true (which it does not) and one of the arms hit the safety pushing it to safe. I finally gave up and went home, drenched in sweat (91 degrees). Yesterday, finally in my deer stand four days after opening, I tried for two hours to get it to cock. Unless I am wrong, this should be starting as if it had been fired. After each "dry fire" I released pressure using the crank, took it off safe, and released the dryfire levers while pulling and holding the trigger. With the crank, I have gone through the entire process about 50 times, to no avail. However, the result of using the crank is that will not cock, and I get stuck on the dry fire levers. But I had a crank on backorder, and I was pretty happy when it came in five days ago. After building a small stand, I could cock it fairly easily. The Amped 415 has a 200# draw and was difficult to cock, not from the pounds which I can handle, but from the length of the draw. I stopped adjusting the scope and it shoots much better. I learned this when a 1-inch adjustment missed a 12x25-foot shed. Lesson learned-do not try to fine-tune the Amped 415 scope unless you can take several shots afterward to make it "settle". As a rifle accuracy nut, I tried to fine-tune accuracy with the Amped 415. I hope someone can help as Centerpoint has gone silent and apparently will be of no help. The process has been a total fiasco, and while I am sure it has been at least partially due to my unfamiliarity with crossbows, there are product issues as well. As a first-time crossbow shooter, I have spent the last 2 1/2 weeks getting geared up and otherwise getting ready for deer bow season.
