crossbow question
«
on:
December 08, 2012, 11:20:11 AM »
Ive just got my cross bow permit and I have started researching different crossbows. I have no experiance with cross bows. Anyone have any feed back on what to look for in a crossbow? Is it FPS? Draw wieght? Power stroke?
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks

I have not shot any but am curious as well. On TV, some seem a lot noisier than others. I think the faster the better to keep the energy up since the bolts tend to be lighter than full sized arrows.
