i want to get her in the blind with me to hunt deer, but i cant spend a big amount of money on a crossbow, and she wants one. the scout package was smaller, and light weight for her also which was a big plus...she doesnt want something that weights ten pounds.

educate me here. i know nothing about crossbows.....is the horton scout a good hunting crossbow out to what effective range?

thanks all .

the countdown has begun less than 2 months left for deer huntin.

I would not hunt with a 125 lb. crossbow, they don't make the critter you want by the time you get the speed and energy you need they are heavy, you might check into a Drawlock on a regular compound, which
gives you the advantages of a crossbow with a regular compound without the weight.
