Rocco nails possible crossbow record

I was watching Spirit of the Wild this week, when Rocco Nugent, 16 year old son of Ted and Shamane Nugent started putting together his trusty Excalibur crossbow while on safari in South Africa. That did it, my eyes were glued to the screen. Finally a teenage crossbow hunter, fully capable to use any...

Mom was a writer herself and actully knew Robert Ruark who recomended the book...well something happened years later. Last week in th...

Just when the crossbow cannibals thought it was safe to come outside, and perhaps say. "Well who is this unknown outdoor writer guy stirring up the people." Providence intervened. The Louisiana Outdoor Writers Assn. just informed me I won an EIC Award (Excellence in Craft) for outdoor writ...

Now that I have read the ariticle, Ms Paula is not so bad, she just doesn't like poachers. As far as the crossbow bolt, it is insigificant as it could have been an arrow or a bullet. In my 20 years in the Army as a Military Policeman, being the outdoor guy with some stripes meant I was in charge of ...

Most poachers use a 22, at least the ones out for more than one Joy Kill. If its real it may be safely ignored. Sounds more like the North American Bowhunters Col. trying their new stuff they learned from their allies..PETA. Only an Idiot would poach a deer, and even more of an idiot would use a cro...

HOT Pro Crossbow Articles and information

Being an outdoor writer for both Gun and Bow hunting magazines, what I like to do is write about myself or a buddy and preferably a kid, getting a big buck. If I can I will make a hero out of them, and doing so it will make who ever reads the article want to go hunting too. That has been put on hold...
