I have shoot bullpup designed crossbows before, most notably the barnett thunderbolt and Evan is right about the triggers. They feel very good at first but the more you shoot the losser they become overtime. It also seems trigger travel increases over time but then again those great lakes bows seem ...

I recieved one for Christmas Woody and really like it. Very powerful when you need it and has a very low light when you are looking for things in your pack. Very light and compact. Haven't had a chance to try it out on a blood trail yet.

It's just another example of someone who is 8000 miles away thinks they know how to manage your wildlife better than you. The European Union should worry about their own wildlife, or at least whats left of it. They have done such a great job managing their own that they have little or no public land...

Wabi, who makes your red dot scope with 2x magnafication. One of the reasons I do not use one is that the only one I have seen were 1x.
The 2x really helps out in low light and that is what I've been looking for.

Don't waste your money. They are not a good quality scope and everyone I know who has had one has had trouble with it keeping zero after a few seasons of hunting.

ch312, I have owned 2 thunderbolts in the past and bought my first one in 1985 and paid $150.00 for it. I bought a second one in 1990 for only $80.00 due to the fact that they were deemed obsolete and Barnett was trying to get rid of them. They just were not made that well and would only last 3-5 ye...

Very sorry for your loss Wabi, Kathy and Bill. I know how much pain and anguish one goes thru when a loved one passes. My brother in-law which was my long time hunting partner and who was more a brother to me than an in-law passed away last December 6, the day after deer season at the age of 45. No ...
