folks,

this is my first post. (i "got into" crossbows because i damaged my right wrist/arm/shoulder in FEB '06 in an "on the job accident" & my orthopedist says that i will never be able to shoot my recurve again.)

i just "aquired" an older Barnett Rhino RECURVE crossbow (nope.NOT the current compound Rhino.), with a "crank-cocker",scope, quiver,case,sling & several bolts.

i "checked out" the information on "the worldwidewierd" on 2 search engines & found nothing of real interest on this particuliar bow.

so, a few questions:
1. when was it made (approximately)?
2. does anyone here have actual expierience inhunting whitetails witha Rhino Recurve?
3.does anyone have an OWNERS MANUAL on this bow?
4. anyone here have aPARTS/accessories manual??
5. when things wear out and/or break, are there anyPARTS for this bow available?
6. what broadhead bolts do you recommend for deer hunting?
7. and finally, i'd like recommendations on books on crossbow hunting??

THANKS!
