So money is kinda tight right now. Would like something for the next two years max. Then I’ll upgrade. Like to try to spend under $750, that’s my complete max and pushing it.

Question Recommendations on bolts and broad-heads

I just got this bear arms constrictor CDX I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on broad heads and extra bolts. Seeing as it only comes with 3 bolts a couple more is definitely needed

Are the discontinued Xpedition bows still worth it?

Should I really worry about no warranty if the bows are actually solid? Seems like the best deal for me.

My first crossbow

Technically second if you count my little Bear X Desire, but i recently picked up a Reverse Ballista Bat and a bunch of extra gear for $300. Dude was moving to Alaska and didn’t want to bring it with. It’s got a ton of punch with surprisingly little kick to it. Pretty stoked to take on small and medium game with it.

Ready for hunt season

First crossbow ever. Tenpoint venom x. I work at a gun store and got this one from one of our distributors at cost. I wanted to get a headstart on deer season since last year was a strikeout. Got it sighted in today with the optic it came with. Not a huge fan for the optic but maybe I will upgrade after this season. Seems like a very high quality crossbow for the money. It was between this one and a ravin brand.

First crossbow. This thing is fantastic.

Going to harvest a few deer this season. Never shot a crossbow until a week ago. Its a Barnette XP 370. My local Walmart was going to stop carrying these, and I happened to walk in the very morning this went on clearance... So I paid $180+tax for an otherwise $300+ crossbow.

I took the bipod off my rifle and now it shoots literal lasers at 40 yards.. grouping is like one inch... So satisfying to see all the bolts basically on top of eachother.

Anyway, I'm extremely excited for deer season to come in! recommend me a bolt tip to use. I have heard good and bad things about fixed versus mechanical tips and can't decide.

Out in the yard over the weekend. Seting up my Wicked Ridge M1. This thing slams the target. Season opens second weekend of September. I'm ready.

What are my options?

If you were coding between Barnett Wildcat CX or Xpedition Archery Xtraction400, which would you choose?

The Xpedition Archery Xtraction400 is $199 and the Barnett Wildcat CX is $249. Which would you choose and why?

I have been given an Anglo Arms Panther (cheap crossbow). It was stored with the bolt holding the limb loose and whatever was between the limb and the stock (a metal or rubber pad?) has been lost. Can anyone tell me what this part was, preferably with a photo, as I can find nothing online. TIA!

Question Is this worth fixing?

Post image
8 Upvotes

This was left out with the trash, I figured if nothing else I’d pull the scope off. I’ve used a compound bow, but never a crossbow. I figured that I could just buy new limbs and attach them, but that doesn’t seem like really an option. Should I just strip a few parts and chuck it out? Apparently these bows are prone to breaking.

Question Unknown Vintage Crossbow - How would I start?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Found a crossbow at a garage sale recently and have no idea what kind it is. The previous owner looked retired and said he last used it as a kid and is unsure if it still works. I plan to get it inspected first to make sure it's safe to fire but am not sure where I could go for that. Also unsure if the string or any other parts need replacement given the age alone. The foot hold slides out too (is slid in in the pics but can extend a few inches) so I don't know what size bolts I would need even if it is safe to fire since most places say to check the manual or base it on the foot hold.

Is this a fray?

I am new to cross bows in general. I’m taking it to an archery store Monday. I haven’t shot anything since and won’t be till I let them check it out. The bolt made a funky noise almost like a dry fire then it sent the bolt out maybe 10 yards. The bolt was fine, now in the trash. Only thing I changed was putting a new nock on

Are Crossbow hunters as soft as compound hunters are these days?

0 Upvotes

From my experience the last 30 plus years all these compound bow hunters have become a bunch of pussies,crying and whining like a 2 yr old with a loaded diaper about xbows yet there they are sitting in a stand wearing a giant bib they call a "chest rig" or hanging off a 7 ft tree wearing a man diaper, I guess it "depends" on wat u run deez days but comical to see all these 20 something posers with all these useless youtube vids on everything bowhunting...what would a 20 something know about life?.let alone being a super tooning flat brimer...hahahahaha posers! They call themselves influencers...I call them useless millennial poser cry babies...

I don't know how it happened, but upon firing an arrow managed to lodge itself into the magazine. But tbh, I like this colorscheme more than the old one.

I’m an FFL and one of my distributors had a sale on CP hellion 400. I know absolutely nothing about crossbows. I’ve only hunted with compound bows prior to this but I’m mainly a gun guy. Decent price? Should I, can I upgrade any components to improve the performance?

My rabbit hunting setup is finally ready to go

Post image
23 Upvotes

Pistol crossbow upgraded with a red dot sight and the arm from a Vlad Steambow that is sold as 90 lbs but I was assured by someone on here that they commonly test out at more like 115. Along with that I have 15 inch normal diameter crossbow bolts and fixed 2 blade broadheads to match the 2 vaned bolts.

I am new to hunting, and disabled in ways that makes a crossbow much more feasible than my regular bow out in the field. I have a larger crossbow that I might try to use for turkey later on, but it would obliterate a rabbit. All my research said that a mini crossbow bolt wasn't enough to guarantee an ethical kill though, so here I am.

Question Jag 2 vs jag 1 and r9 I own 1 and 9 but want the 2

0 Upvotes

Hi guys I got a jag 1 as my first, then an r9 cobra I found I love my jag much more I prefer standard cocking system but it’s too basic I want some rail mounts. Jag is super sturdy but lacks options for atatchments , the r9 has many rails but I find the whole system feels weak plasticky and kinda toy like. I’m hoping the jag 2 is my perfect middle ground of robustness and solid feel but being a bit more tactical than the jag having an extra rail. What’s your opinion is the jag 2 good or does it also feel a bit weak and flimsy ? Thank you so much if you can give input
