Description
Stating tomorrow morning, John and I will be out hunting near (almost anyhow) White Salmon, Washington, at the Oklahoma campgrounds. The picture is showing the new crossbow:
175# draw weight
14" Stroke (from trigger to stops)
360+ fps bolt speed
115+ lbs striking force
4*30 Scope
5-bolt quiver (quick release)
7.6 lbs total weight
I also have a selection of 20" bolts that have either a standard 3-blade broad-head or specialty broad-head (quick-kill)
while I hope to come back with the ability to regale you of my exploits - I know that I will have better luck with my camera and will bring back some cool photos to share with you all. This area will be new to me so I should have some really great photos. And if not so great, there's always photo-editing lol!

White Salmon is a beautiful place...good luck! (be vewy vewy quiet ;) I have some backs for you when you return!
Good luck, Have a safe and fun trip !
I hope you have a grand time, Mike. Cool shots bro. We'll my boss told me to leave after I got back from work today and will not give me that 30 days he mentioned. Take care.
175#'s...dayum don't put that through your foot or you'll know it! Or your car door, tires, another camper, etc lol. I had a 50# recurve bow way back in my youth, and that had enough whallop. Have fun! Looking forward to your photo's. I've never seen pics of that place (or much else of Washington state actually).
enjoy!!
Let me guess, you're going out for a swim...err, no ? o.k., got it, you're going bowling...yeah, that's it, it's just really tough competition and you just have to thin out the other bowlers ! LOL
Have fun with your wicked toys and take it easy...(on the wildlife)
~Cheers~
quiet a crossbow. 175# pull? sounds like you will have a blast. good luck Mike
Good luck on yer hunt :-)
Safe trip, Mike! And Good Luck!
good luck Mike have fun look fwd to seeing some great shots
Those are some serious looking 'toys for boys', Mike - just try to avoid the 'brouhaha' area around the Washington right now, even-so it wouldn't really hurt IMHO, oh yes, it really could, just an arrow to the knee ... LOL
Looks like a nice setup I have always wanted to get a crossbow I always considered them quiet and deadly a very lethal combination!
Don't play the game shooting the arrow into the sky like they did in the movie Grownups with Adam Sandler.
Impressive crossbow Mike!!! Stay safe!!!
This is an excellent!
Nice rig. It would be fun for target shooting. It is harder to get a good shot with a camera since you usually have to get closer to the animal. And the bonus is that the picture can last forever.
Crecy? Agincourt? Poor French, up against a weapon like that! But be careful! A hunter here shot a moose - the bullet went through the moose and the heart of a woman picking mushrooms some 100 meters beyond (she was hidden by greenery in the woods). Boy, did THAT raise a stink - poor guy was accused of murder and had a hell of a time. Shorter range for a crossbow. But, you could be the victim of another hunter who doesn't see you due to greenery. Please do be careful! We don't want to hear what forest ranger tastes like! :P
Have a good time!
Impressive weapon, but I prefer a camera, lol! Have nice days, Mike!
Have a great time Mike. I also prefer a camera
Good luck and wait to come backwith good news!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shocked by the weapon... 🤔 But... Yes, hope you will get some nice food and fantastic shots. 🙄
See ya' when ya' get back, buddy! Please find evidence of Bigfoot while you are out in the wilds!!!!
Appears you have the "Mac Daddy" crossbow equipment Mike.
Have fun, be careful and happy hunting.
See you when you return.

Stay safe.
have a good time and be safe!
good luck Mike !!!
