Crossbow Hunting

Awesome! Let us know how she shoots.
If you've never hunted with a crossbow, it is a good idea to keep one cheap throw away arrow handy in the scabbard with a field point on it so you can fire it into the ground to uncock it. Something I learned the hard way. LOL

I have been hunting with a carbon express for a few years. I have some walmart bolts ready for the ground.

love my Ten Point. Quiet. let my buddy"s wife use it last year to shoot nice back in their backyard. 40 yards went through both shoulders.

are they loud?

I have an Excalibur and it isn't loud at all. I have doubled up more times than I can count with that thing.

I keep an extra bolt with a field tip in my truck, along with a Walmart target that is easy to pull a bolt out of. When I get back to my truck I fire the bolt into the target. Not only is it easy to recover the bolt, I can tell if the crossbow is still sighted in.

With my rope cocker I put it on my string and pull it back to keep it tight and squeeze the trigger and let it down easy. I have never carried an extra arrow since I learned this little trick.

When I get to the house let me try to make a video. It's pretty easy.

After 2 scope adjustments, this was my first 3 shot group at 30 yards. I can probably tighten that up a bit with some more practice.

That's 3 dead deer! Got mine set up today. Pretty sure you could split arrows
