The owner of the bow shop helped me sight it in at his indoor range. Same hole accuracy at 20 yds. He replaced the 150 gr. target points with 1...

Re: Preventing Meat From Spoiling
I worked with dead big game animals for over 3 decades with a F&G Dept. and have been hunting for over 50 years (deer, caribou, moose, elk). Only use water on a carcass if you have gut shot the animal. Even then - wipe it as dry as you can with towels after you clean the nasty stuff off the carc...

Re: What would be Your Dream Crossbow Rig ?
To answer xcaliber's request for info about me - I am 5'11", 205 lbs., age 57, and work in the woods (chainsaw, etc.). I am undecided between the Matrix 355 and the 380.

What would be Your Dream Crossbow Rig ?
If you could have any crossbow, and outfit it with proper gear (arrows, broadheads, targets, shooting sticks, arrow puller, etc.), what would you choose ?

Re: New Guy Here : Help me shop
Thanks to each of you who responded. Your excitement with crossbow hunting is contagious ! I'll continue to monitor this forum and pick up pointers. My order for equipment will be going in to Cabelas when I get back from a walleye fishing trip in a couple weeks.

New Guy Here : Help me shop
I have hunted big game with muzzle loaders and rifles for over 40 years (never archery). Crossbow hunting will be a new experience for me. I'll be hunting mostly whitetails and turkeys. I have been to Cabelas and tried out several makes and models. I have spent hours researching crossbows. I have de...
