The answer to your question is yes, everything that can be hunted with a bow we can hunt with a crossbow.

Re: A father and son hunt.

Congrats to both of you. I know he was excited when you found the doe. I still can remember my 9 year old sitting on my lap and killing his 1st deer with a rifle many years ago that led to a lot of hunting companionship throughout the years, this was an awesome experience and I know the experience y...

Re: O/T shooting rest question

I use a shooting bench and some shooting bags, you can pick up the bags at Walmart to shoot my crossbow. The shooting bench I use is a Big Game shootng bench that is fairly inexpensive somewhere around $100.00 or less and can be purchased from Sportsman Guide. I don't know if this is what you are lo...

Re: Looking for Tarheel Excalibur Brothers

I guess it will take some time before some of them jump on board, maybe some of them may still decide to fight the crossbows but each to their own, but since its legal here now, I will keep shooting mine and loving it and maybe get a chance at some deer or Turkeys this year. Good to meet you TarHeel...

Re: Christmas holidays deer

Re: Turkeys in my hunting spot

The problem with turkeys in your deer hunting area is that if you're in a state where you can corn feed for deer the turkeys here at home will come in and wipe out a 50 lb bag of corn in about 2 days because they come all the time sometimes 20-30 in a group. We are only allowed 2 tom turkeys in the ...

Shooting my Vortex

I've been shooting my Vortex the last couple of days from 30 back to 50 yards and I am looking it from my bench. This xbow will really shoot, I only shoot 4 arrows at a time at a 2 inch dot and I have to aim at different places on the dot so I don't destroy an arrow. I think I just sold the idea to ...

Re: Dec 31 2011 5:37pm season end

Congrats on your Doe sometimes the big bucks are hard to come by. I have been trophy hunting now for 4 years I was only a meat hunter for years but I still kill my share of does to eat but all my bucks now that I shoot is one I would have mounted. It was very hard for me to make that transition but ...
