No specific game, but just the opportunity. I know I could get a deer, squirrel, and most likely geese.Normous wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 4:44 pmDan, your speaking my language as I have crossbow arrowed 40+ deer under 20 y and I could not pay enough money for that up close contact and sense of success getting in close.
But, at the end of the day, I have to confess that I really like fast crossbows, even used at short distances using large cut mechanicals. The deer just stand there not knowing what to do and fall over DEAD.
I once shot a prototype Crossbow from a smaller US crossbow manufacturer that spit a 400 gr arrow nearly 550 FPS . Interestingly, this Xbow did not require a complicated cocking assist aid. I rope cocked it without complaint
Just head down to the local golf course. You could probably go on a "golf club" hunt for geese.
