Good starter?

Hey Im very new to archery and I prefer to use crossbows over regular bows (for now).. I was just browsing through Sports Authority website and found a cheap crossbow pistol (only $20).. what you recommend this for hunting small game (ie: squirrels and other pesky rodents)?

And also i was just curious: it comes with 3 arrows, are all arrows pointed at the end to rip through skin (for hunting)? .. Would appreciate opinions..

Although I didn't need to, I went to the site, saw the "bow" and read the one review. All I can tell you is whoever wrote that has no idea what he's talking about. No pistol xbow in the world is satisfactory for any kind of hunting, imho. Small game can be taken w/ a regular real xbow w/ a vast choice in arrows and points, either blunts or broadheads. Do yourself a favor and do a little more research.

good advice given. the pistols are fun to plink with.....but no good for hunting. good luck.

Yup those under powered CB pistols good to play with at targets. Up close rats mice gophers moles and such pests would give you a challange![:-]
