I purchased my first crossbow this year and it was a phoenix with the right stuff package but it had the varizone scope. I bought a morrel super duper target for practice but I doubt you want one shipped to sweden since it weighs about 30lbs and shipping would cost a lot. You may want to look locall...

It sounds like you have carpal tunnel syndrome. There is a band of "tissue" surrounding the wrist called the flexor retinaculum? and when it gets overused from certain movements(ie, blacksmithing) it starts to compress the nerves in the wrist which leads to numbness in the hands. I think i...

Age 50 would be even more practical. :D In NYS I am hoping that they make them legal for the disabled, "senior" hunters and for any rifle/ shotgun or ML season.After seeing that these x-bows aren't the "death rays" that archers in NYSBA think they are than hopefully they will be...

Yeah we got a pretty good deal for $69.00 but land access in my area is very restricted although in the other parts of the state its not as bad. Remember xbows are still illegal in NYS except for the handicapped and by this definition you must be paralzyed in order to get one. I think they use a blo...

I have the Nikon 440 and wish I didn't . The 8X is way too much for archery. I have a VERY difficult time finding what I want to range in viewfinder. 200 yards? No problem. Raning a leaf at 30 yards? Big problem. I recommend the The Bushnell Yardage Pro. I almost got the nikon 440 too but realized ...
