I got the pleasure of meeting Jerry in Nashville at a gun show, and got see one of these vertical crossbows up close.  I was so impressed I bought one, the whole crossbow is just genius in design and so compact and lightweight, like I said I was sold on just the look and feel of the Hickory Creek mini.  Then I got to shoot it, and DANG! I'm definitely a believer!!! the trigger is so smooth and this thing makes me look like a pro.  I can not even begin to explain to you how easy and how great this crossbow is, and shooting it
is a dream.  I honestly believe anyone who shoots the vertical mini crossbow from Hickory Creek will want one!!!!

Dustin and Daylon Shoot the new In-Line Vertical Crossbow with the Bullpup.
The other day I was setting up a rig for a gentleman out of San Antonio, Tx. The set up for this person was sort of different in that he is peralized from the chest down and will be drawing and shooting from a wheel chair. He has plenty of strength in his arms, but has limited balance in his chair. I felt that the shorter the draw length the easier it would be for him to hold and balance. After I shorten the draw length 2 more inches, I begain to use it as if I was in the same situation and had the same limitations as the man from Texas. This included sitting down in a chair a using only my arms for drawing a hooking the string loop on the string latch. It was really quite easy. I placed the shoulder stock into my lower chest, upper stomach, and pulled the string back. I started shooting some video of this when my boys showed up, and as most all 11 and 9 year old boys will do, they wanted to shoot it. I filmed them shooting their only four shots with the bow, it was pretty funny! Check out the "In-Line Vertical Crossbow Page" to see it.
