If you don’t have any assistance device to draw the crossbow, you should be careful about the draw weight while choosing the crossbow.

Not a confident way to hunt.A crossbow is possibly the most favored weapon of choice for every hunter since they offer a long shooting range along with a highly powerful output.

I went from lowering poundage of a compound in the cold, to not being able to group consistently years later. It's a personal decision to use a crossbow when legal. The usual lower third of a deers chest target allows a deer ducking to take off if you are concerned one nervous deer can begin to react in time. Practice is where you learn to deal with the "clank" noise when you shoot.Īt your current bow range the noise is not the concern when shooting. But can be done.īeing able to adjust by twisting, or change the string myself has strong appeal. I do it seated in a wheelchair, which is not the usual method.

And there is a device if you can't cock it the manual pull/draw rope method.

That said, you need to cock one and shoot it to know if it suits you.Ĭocking is interesting. That was around the time Excalibur traded hands in ownership and your research will find that model. Some had a limb deficiency when speed was the goal with shorter limbs too. With research you can find older models at a good pricepoint used. I'm thinking I'll be fine for the rest of early season, but would like to find something that I can get and practice the heck out of with for late season as any colder temps might be prohibitive. from those of you who have actually used a crossbow for hunting whitetail.

Given that I have a budget of $1200-1500 maximum for a full package with everything I need to hunt, store, and maintain the unit I'm looking for any recommendations, warnings, input, feedback, etc. Up until now I think I like Mission, Excalibur, and Tenpoint the best. So far I've shot a bunch of crossbows from several brands. So it might be time to start thinking about making the move for me. I also had more difficulty holding the draw like I normally practice and was sore after just the couple arrows. I would not say it was painful, but might say moderately or more uncomfortable. In the cold was a completely different game. Had my first sit of the year yesterday and my first time shooting since the weather swung. I take 3 target arrows with me and put them in the target on my way out to make sure nothing in my setup moved and I'm still dialed in. I keep a target in my yard on the way to the woods. However, it appears that weather may be a factor. Never really thought of it as an issue because hunting you only draw once per outing (maybe a couple times at most) usually. Been shooting all summer to stay dialed in without too much issue, but can only shoot maybe one or two dozen arrows at a time before I start getting sore. I've also found that most of what I tried was extremely noisy.įast forward to now. I just enjoy shooting it more than most crossbows I've tried. Despite the shoulder issues I've stayed with a vertical for years. Especially after my drive to get back in shape this year. I've now had 7 shoulder surgeries and am still get recommendations for a shoulder replacement.

Destroyed my shoulder over 20 years ago when a drunk driver hit my on my motorcycle. Don't need haters, trolls, or negative derailment of the thread. If you are one of the anti-crossbow folks keep moving.
