Crossbows

[LeeB]

I can look it up. I haven't seen it yet in person. I actually wanted the other items in the package deal, so took the bow also. I've been wanting one anyway, so all is good. Getting it from a guy that used to work for me along with a Remington 870 20G and a Barretta PX4 9mm.

I bought a few chances on a 10-Point cross-bow outfit at the Boonville Woodsmens Days festival and the drawing is Oct 5th.

All I can do is "hope", I've never won a raffle!

I think the Crossbow Mission MXB-360 will follow me home tomorrow...  8)

Sounds like a good choice. I went to a Carbon Express Covert SLS last year.

I had never shot a crossbow until I worked in Ohio a few years ago and the Excalibur boys were at local fair. I got to shoot one and was amazed at the accuracy I got even just standing and shooting 40 yards. I don't have one, but if I ever do buy one, for sure it will be an Excalibur.

Because of 4 shoulder surgeries, I had to give up my vertical bows. Since I never seem to shoot without a rest, a few years ago I bought a Stryker (405fps) with a 3 dot scope. 20/40/60yds, spot on the dots.

Then I moved to Oregon. Not allowed to use a crossbows for any game animals.

Went back to hurting my shoulders with my rifles. The last two years I haven't bought a hunting license.

But I still shoot the x-bow and have mastered longer distances than the scope is designed for.

   Oregon almost let the disabled use crossbows last year, but it got shot down, afraid of the slippery slope that Washington ran into. It will never be part of archery season, but may get lumped in with rifle season or get their own someday, but I doubt it.

Personally, let me use it during rifle season. I can't use a bow any longer because of my shoulders. Plus, I would really prefer to hunt my property without scaring all the rest of wildlife away. I am trying to make my property wildlife friendly. Not for hunting purposes but just because I enjoy watching them do their thing. Let me cull the ones that need culling without disturbing the rest.

In Michigan, you can use your crossbow during firearm season, you just have to obey firearm season rules including bag limits and the blaze orange rules

 wisconsin anyone can archery hunt using a crossbow,it use to be if you had a disablity  or unable to draw a regular bow. seems to kinda take alot of the challange out of bowhunting. my opinion

How so?

Now that I have made the switch, I think there are equal but different challenges. Not convinced I made the right decision to switch.

   What are the challenges you face with a crossbow Beenthere? I think the using seniors and disabled to open the door for crossbow use speaks for its self.
