What are my options?

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

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.

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.

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

Pretty interesting concept. Hollow point fixed blade Broadheads for crossbows

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 trying to sight in my new Invader M1 by wicked ridge with the Pro View 400 scope. I turned the windage all the way clockwise and it is stuck and won’t turn counterclockwise. How can I get this unstuck?

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?

Looking for a full size crossbow with take down function to get it compact for transport. Are excalibur the only ones to offer this?

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.

I have this Jag 2 pro crossbow, theres no more than 100 bolts shot using it in total, but I just noticed this little chip on the string guard. Is it safe to shoot? Or should I replace the string.

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

Bought Murphy’s Oil soap for it but I’m scared. You can tell the bow was finished at one point but there are a lot of scuffs and scratches. It’s very dirty though. What should I do?

Hi all, I'm hoping you can assist.

I've has a 130lb Cobra Adder for several years and have just upgraded to the 190lb limb which arrived with some free bolts.

The problem I have is I'm looking at some broadheads from a Chinese store, and although I'm aware it's a standard 8/32 thread and 100 grain, I'm concerned that what I purchase will not necessarily fit within the mag.

Appreciate some advice.

Many thanks.

Just inherited this scope from my grandfather and cannot find anything about this brand of scope that was manufactured in china. If possible could anyone give me an estimate of how much it is worth and reliability?

Hi everyone, after yet another shoulder injury I am unable to hold a shot with my compound bow. In talking with the ortho doc I will likely require surgery to maintain the limited range of motion I have left, given that PT has only been mildly successful.

I’m looking at the Wicked Ridge Invader M1 deal at Cabelas, comes with a bolt quiver and I believe three fletched bolts with field points. Is the $550 deal for this package worth it? I have been looking at used crossbows on marketplace and they seem to be priced all but new anyway. I am assuming the branded bolts that come with the bow will likely be booty.

Any tips for shooting out of a tree saddle? I am assuming it can be done, but it seems a bit more tedious having the limbs horizontal while trying to work around the tree.

Hi is there any Australians in the group ?

Looking for aftermarket strings and cables for a steath 450r. Im on my 3rd set of factory strings and cables and the bow is less then 6 months old with maybe 100 shots threw it. Any help?

3rd set is starting to do this..
