[QUOTE="ElkStalkR, post: 1181055, member: 2292"] Some of you have been asking about crossbows. Thought I would show you this deal. I just ordered one myself. Its unbelieveably cheap and I scoured the internet and could find nothing but positive reviews from people who actually own them. [url]http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=508885[/url] Somethings I found out about this bow from reading reviews or actually emailing an owner: It is advertised at 310, it will not do that. With the equipment provided it does 240. You need to purchase some carbon bolts to get the most out of the speed. I don't know what it will achieve with carbon bolts, but I did talk to a guy in arizona that has some custom made carbon bolts and he stated that 100 yard shots were no problem. He had killed a javelina at 125 yards with it. That being said, I AM NOT PROMOTING SHOOTING ANIMALS AT THAT DISTANCE WITH A XBOW. I am only relaying information I was told. He stated his jaguar was deadly accurate out to 40-50 yards, as in stacking arrows. 16" bolts are not made in carbon. So the options I have heard of are either shooting a 20" bolt instead (I don't know much about xbows, so I am not sure how safe this is) or get someone to custom cut your bolts down to 16". There is a guy on ebay that does this for free when you buy bolts thru him. I have his ebay name and can give it out if needed. The guy in AZ also stated it is fairly quiet, but he put silencers on his to make it quieter, but didn't feel it was neccessary. Also stated the red-dot it comes with works, but felt you needed a powered xbow scope if you going to try longer shots. I personally can't wait to get mine and try it out. Once I do, I can post on here my results if anyone is interested. [/QUOTE]
