Target recommendation

I'll vote for the Morrell Xbow target.....as good if not better than the block and a lot less $$$$....All those "high priced" celebrity endorsers for the block are being paid by someone.....guess who??

Wasp 3 vane or 4 vane

Yea, I meant blade....had vanes on the brain....don't reckon it makes any difference in 3 or 4 blades if you put it in the right place. Thanks for the pics....

Gold Tip II or Excalibur Gold Tip

vortex or exocet

I had the same choice to make.....sent the question to Excalibur with my height and weight....They recommended the Vortex as it's stock is 1" shorter and would be easier/quicker to shoulder. The thumbhole stock does give more stability and just looks cool.

New to Crossbow hunting

It did'nt take a couple of days for questions.....here's the first ones: 1. Does it matter if you use flat or half moon nocks? The ones in the pkg. are flat. 2.

New to Crossbow hunting
