RE: What IS the best crossbow?
Amen smokepolehall to each his own,I will say that a recurve has a few
good points to consider,as I said will never look back,but the enjoyment that my Ten Point has brought me is beyond discription,thought I had it all with my Parkers,but even an old dog can learn new tricks,take care! ;);););););););) |

ORIGINAL: smokepolehall To each his/her own. The need for speed is over rated my friends.[:o]Its true, all you need is good accuracy and know your CB and range. Miss Vixen will shoot an honest 269 fps with a 345 gr. total wt. carbon or alum. arrow, shot thru chrony. A CB must feel good in your hands and mounted up against shoulder. Its wt. and trigger must also feel good, comfort is everything! Mentally liking CB is very big plus! If you look at a CB and think its ugly[&o]then you have made up your mind before even shooting and trying the CB! may i add,of all bucks i have harvested, not onedid arrow not come out the other side.that was with recurve at much slower speeds than the crossbow. only advantage i see of speed is arrow shoots flatter but that would only be needed if you were shooting into a small opening in brush. or shooting over 30 yds. but with scope sighted in on crossbow anda hunterNOT shooting over 30 yds,i cant see to much need for fast bow. i feel makingcrossbow quiet and light and easy to carry and hold is more important than speed. i think selling point is SPEED and users thinking they can shoot out to 50 yds at deer. a light arrow flying out that far is going to cause a wounded deer,no doubt . |
RE: What IS the best crossbow?
yeah im (hopefully) getting the vixen this summer if i get a job for next season. i have never hunted in september so i hope i get the vixen

RE: What IS the best crossbow?
could the vixen shoot 40 yards accurately?
|
RE: What IS the best crossbow?
yes the Vixen can shoot accurately to 40, 50 even 75 yds. For targets! Hunting deer yes once you have spent many hrs. of practice it will reach out to 40 yds. You must understand that is a very long distance with a CB. At 40 with practice & a rest a baseball sized area is a within its accuracy.

I would like to add that the max range for deer is really a maximum for only certain condtitions. They are rare but they do exist. |
RE: What IS the best crossbow?
Wrong question, the real question is which one is best for a particular person. We have people here that are different sizes different strength and with many other types of problems, I have 3, a 10 point an excaliber and a barnet they are all used for different things, andare all excellant for what I use them for, and they all have years of good use with out any problems other than normal up keep.
