Crossbow Hunting

[GM_Tood]

Since the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has approved crossbow use for all hunters starting this year...is anyone going to give it a shot? My uncle was able to get a permit last year, due to a disability, and he asked me to join him this next hunting season.

 

I've never bow hunted before, just rifle/muzzle loader, so I can't compare the two.

 

I'm starting to do some research on them so I can make an informed purchase, but any recommendations/help would be appreciated.

I just got a quad 400 which is a good bow for its price. it shoots about the same or a little more (maybe a little less than the very high end ones) feels really good in the shoulder. the best thing you can do is go to a cabelas or the like and hold them to see ho it feels in your hand.

i have a friend who just got a high end parker set up with a scope, i shoot cirles around him with my compound and at 20 yards im close with my recurve. sure there cool and its legal but for the money get a real bow, u dont get many second shots with a xbow,to slow to c$%k n load, heavy and cumbersome in a tree. to each his own i gess
