Hey guys! My dad suffered a serious shoulder injury at work a few years ago. He hasn't been in the woods or even at our camp since He's gotten most of his family problems behind them and now he's getting the urge to return to the woods. He can no longer pull a bow and has a hard time shooting rifles (recoil puts him down for a few days after). We got him to buy a TC contender to deer hunt with. Just got an email from him and he said he ordered an xbow.

He ordered this Horton Explorer HD 150...... http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te... 24&hasJS=true We are both totally ignorant of xbows. He looked them over at a local Gander Mountain. We couldn't get any service so He went to cabelas website and just ordered what looked like a nice one at a good price........he also ordered a buncha goodies to go along with it.

Xbow will be used mainly for whitetail hunting inside of 35 yards. Is this a good bow to start with? Tired to talk him into the Tenpoint Elite but that wasn't happeing

Any info we should know before we start?

Is there a xbow for dummies website?

He considered the Drawloc for his old bow but couldn't emagine setting in the woods with a bow at full draw all the time........very cumbersome.

Yes he did apply for and recieve his class Y permit so he will be legal in WV.

Thanks guys for any info!
