Ive never used a crossbow before but recently decided to take it up. I bought an entry level crossbow (Parker 150) from Bass Pro Shops. The salesman advised me that some hay bales would suffice for target practice. I tried this and lost the first one, its either inside the hay bale or on the way to the moon. I then went and bought a Bonecrusher target that is rated for crossbows up to 400 FPS. Now it stopped them however Im having trouble removing them. Is there a trick to this? I was shooting from approx. 50 yards out. Any positive advice would be appreciated. Trust me...I feel dumb enough already.
