Like many I see here my dad bought a crossbow this year, most of its self explanatory and the guy at the shop where we bought it fielded a few questions we had but little bit ago I got to thinking. When I'm bow hunting and see no deer and get ready to leave I just pull the arrow, put it in the quiver and go.

Well a crossbow is a little different, used a * * * *ing aid to ready it once in the blind, so it is ready to shoot regardless of a deer appearing or not.

So the question is, how are you guys letting em down when its over and you took no shot?
Thinking of him sitting there in the dark, had pulled the bolt with the broad head on it (at least hoping he did) and is now sitting there pondering what to do now? LOL
I got it all set up for him and will take it to him tomorrow, let him shoot it at a straw bail a few times and hes good to go, just want to give him this one last piece of information, information I realized I don't have pertaining to this new fanged thing!

I supposed there could be more then one way so what methods are ya guys using?

Oh and yea he bought a "Barnett", couldn't sway him to spend more on a better model so he has the * * * *ing rope with the two little pulley's on it.
I don't know, I really can't see his rather large clumsy frame (short/round but yet strong as an ox), using that same device to de-**** it?

Heaven forbid it may be dark at the time.........
