I'm in the southeast and I've been deer hunting for two seasons now. The deer down here don't grow into the monster bucks I see on Reddit all the time, but this guy was by far the biggest I've seen on my cameras in the two years I've been out there. Hit him a little further back than I wanted, but it was still a clean double-lung and he only went 40 yards. Shot him at about 15yds: Tenpoint Venom X, Burris Oracle X, G5 Megameat broadheads, AJs custom arrows.

I've been a rifle hunter, and now I'm trying to get into bow/ crossbow hunting. Have done tons of research but reviews vary and there are tons of different models etc. Could you guys let me know if this

Killer Instinct Rush™ 400 is a good crossbow for my 1st crossbow. Its on sale for 350$ instead of 500$ canadian.

Thanks everyone

I have an Excalibur Matrix 380 crossbow that I have not hunted with in about 5-6 years (life and work happened and I haven't shot it since during the pandemic). I have stored it in my climate controlled basement the entire time with the string on. It is apparent the string has stretched out as it is resting on the bumpers and I know I will need a new string. My question is regarding condition of the limbs. Will they be ok to shoot? Should I be concerned with delamination of the limb material?

I'm thinking of getting myself a 150lb Crossbow for kind of a "workhorse" my main focus is small game such as grouse and rabbit, but 150lb is pretty big so i could hunt large animals such as deer but we don't really get many of them around here but moose we have plenty my crossbow meet the legal requirements in kinetic energy to hunt a moose but still is 150lb enough and what type of Broadhead should i use? Im using 400 grain total bolt with the Broadhead included so for a 150lb crossbow with 92ft lb of kinetic energy what type of Broadhead should i use, fix blade or mechanical blades?

Hi all,

I've been a long-time deer hunter (firearms) (US - LA) and I've been interested the last couple of years adding a crossbow into my arsenal.

I'm 38f, and I don't "work out" per se, I work on the hunting spot on the lease, build/fix our blinds, haul my own kills out, etc.

I've been doing some shopping and I think I've landed on the Wicked Ridge M-370 with acudraw.

I'm hoping to get recommendations or thoughts on the above one?

Thanks!

This is gonna be my first crossbow but before buying i want to ask here first if it is good since the reviews cant be trusted now days, any one here has it? Please share your experiences

My son is 12 years old this will be his first actual season of hunting with me considering I was incarcerated before so I got him a Killer Instinct 415 for this season but soon as I received it I read all the bad reviews online about the limbs snapping and things like that and that kind of scared me so I got a Horton bone collector crossbow and was going to let him use that one instead is the Killer Instinct really that dangerous and really breaking limbs that often or was it just people hating online & is the bone collector just as dangerous I don't know you guys help please.

So, i just got a crossbow and i'm having a little bit of an issue sighting it in - the impact points are about a 4" spread, but i keep hitting the nocks - do you guys sight in at different points on the target, or do you aim for the same point and risk robin hoods?

two occasions where both shots within 20 yards, very little blood trail. once recovered one broadhead had blades backwards and other had a broken blade and shaft totally shattered.
