Default New Xbow Hunter

Good morning everyone.

Im new to xbow hunting, I bought a new factory sealed in the boxbarnett quad 400 with all the bells a whisle for a 250 on ebay2 weeks before I went hunting on the 19th of october. The bow came in the day before I left for the lease. The only thing I had time to do was put it together. I sited her in at the leaseas soon as I got there.It took roughlyhour and half because; I was having problems with the scope; my bolts kept shooting left. But I fix that problem.

The morning hunt:

I get to my stand at 6am. not even 30 mins had gone buy, andthere was movementto left and right. I could faintly see the outlineof 4 deer.at 6:45 I could seethe deer were all doe's.At 7my feeder goes off, and all 4 bolt to the corn. I sat and watch these doe's for and hour eating in the hopes there was a buck inarea.I got tired of watching these doe's eat corn so, I picked the biggest one out.Put the crosshairs behide her front left leg and let her rip. itwas a perfect 20 yardshot. the bolt went clean through. and she ran 10 yards before dropping to ground.

The rest of the weekend went well, I saw a few buck, but they weren't close enought to shoot. There is a monster 8 point I hope to have in my crosshairs this weekend.

My girlfriends father has the picture of my kill. I will get him to send to me so I can post it.
