Description
the newest member of my recurve crossbow family. Now I will be able to legally hunt deer in Washington. the cool thing is that this is the first year they allowed crossbow hunters to have scopes.
I got a great package deal, the bow, scope and laser sighting system. I also purchased an additional 6 21.25" arrows and 6 3-blade broadheads and a broadhead wrench.
I think though that if I'm planning to go after elk, I'm going to need a bigger bow, possibly 175# draw, more than likely a compound styled crossbow.
I thank all of you for your kind comments and faves. I greatly appreciate them all
I wish you all a great Sunday
Mike

Oh Mike ...... No ....... Oh Mike ...... No ....... Oh Mike ...... No .......!!!

Run, Bambi, run!!!
wow awesome, cant shoot a bow and a 30 ault 6 yup killed the deer but broke my nose and jaw from scope lol yeah only me huh ...
But where is the apple? Wilhelm Tell
Whats is the range on this one? If I remember your other one was not that far.
SCOPES AREN'T VERY FAIR, I'M AFRAID...;D
from one crossbow user to another, yeeep that oughta work, excellent capture mike! good luck!:)*5
Seriously serious hunting gear there...you'll be ready for the zombie apocalypse when it happens, eh?
I liked Andrew's (blinkings) comment. An impressive crossbow and I guess that you now own a collection of crossbows.
Great weapon, Mike! This things are really powerful. Do You know that they were banned in the Crusades, as too cruel? I, like Wayne, still have my old bow, but no arrows since my boy learned to open doors and use keys! I really like your collection!
Your obsession for sharp and pointy things are beginning to worry me Mike......rofl....
Wow, Mike, that's a really cool looking crossbow! I wouldn't mind having one of those myself, but I'm not sure where I'd use it around here. Really neat stuff, my friend!
I remember, historically, that captured crossbowmen were immediately executed, because of the lethality of their weapons.... not a long range weapon like the longbow, but deadly accurate at short ranges!
Great picture!!!
I was a bow hunter once upon a time but used a regular compound bow. These days I use a camera instead :)
Awesome set of arms Mike. Looks like your all set up for the challenge.
I know we are all different but I couldn't hunt :o(
Wonderful Artefact
Man! Looks like the stuff the English used against the French mounted nobility in several of their battles during the 100 years war! They pinned the riders legs to their horses sides, then turned the riders beautiful armor into pin cushion style metal coffins. In Sweden, crossbows are illegal and are considered every bit as dangerous as a powerful gun. They were controversial even during the 1500s. When the king tried to confiscate them, this started a war. He had to sue for peace and let the people keep their cross bows. Most owners lived in wooded areas or in the country side and needed them for hunting and protection (wolves, foxes, bears). Very nice photo.
need knowledge to hunt with them, greetings from a William Tell daugther;)
Oh my...i have to be careful what i say about this..;)
