![]() To simplify the rest of this review, I will be referring to the TAC 15i and TAC Elite models with the integrated lower.Ĭontinued with several more pages. The TAC 15i and its new and improved model, the TAC Elite, have an integrated lower. First let me explain that the TAC 15 and its new and improved model, the TAC Ordnance are designed to drop into your own AR-15 lower. In reviewing the new 2013 PSE TAC Elite and Ordnance crossbows, I will start by giving you an overview of why their predecessors, the TAC 15 and TAC 15i, have been so effective and so popular. In fact, the folks at PSE have been known to occasionally refer customers to us with unusually technical questions since we have so much experience with PSE TAC crossbows. I mention these facts to make the point that we know as much or more than anyone about the PSE TAC series of crossbows. Both shots were pass-throughs, by the way. Len and I have personally hunted with our own TAC 15i crossbows, taking deer as far as 72 and 86 yards. It is also a great place to chat with other TAC 15 owners and share hunt stories. ![]() Our TAC 15 specific online forum,, has grown and grown (thanks to the popularity of the TACġ5) and provides some of the most detailed information anywhere about how to get the most out of your TAC crossbow. ![]() It took me a couple of days of shooting tiny groups with my TAC 15i crossbow to confirm that they were not just a fluke.įast forward 3 years, and through our online store,, we have sold and serviced more TAC 15 and TAC 15i crossbows than any other store in the country. Forty yards and then 50 and then 60 and then 70 and then 80 and then 90 and then 100 yards and finally out to 120. In the first couple of days I eventually shot at yardages that 99% of compound bow hunters never even try. But they had no idea from their vantage point that I was consistently shooting tiny groups with my PSE TAC 15i crossbow that made me shake my head. On that first day what must the other archers have thought as they saw me repeatedly walking back from my target, eyes downward, shaking my head? They may have thought “Well if he is disappointed with his groups maybe he should just practice more”. He starts his original PSE TAC 15 review article describing how he kept shaking his head as he walked back from his target at the local range: Well, he was right, but the performance of the PSE TAC 15i crossbow was so far beyond anything he could have expected that he was sort of in a state of awe, unable to believe what he was seeing. He thought that if he used some of the shooting techniques known to be critical to accurate long range rifle shooting, that he could really max out the potential of this intriguing weapon. You see, Len is an experienced long range rifle hunter and shooter, and publisher of the online magazine. Len approached PSE owner Pete Shepley at the SHOT Show in 2010 and was able to get his hands on one with the idea that he'd try it for a while and write a detailed review about it.ĬLICK HERE to read Len's detailed PSE TAC 15 review article from 2010. PSE had changed the crossbow game with the introduction of their PSE TAC 15 and TAC 15i crossbows. Several years ago my dad, Len Backus, had started to hear a significant buzz about a brand new crossbow model from PSE, the likes of which had never before been seen (or even thought of).
